Yeah! Who the FUCK has the nobility and mind and.....BALLS to call any Iron Maiden song a Lame Lyriced song??? If they wrote a song that was a couplet (2 lines for the stupid people) I guarantee any true Maiden Fan would be able to write paragraph after paragraph on the meaning of those two lines. They would be able to relate it several different texts, probably a William Blake poem somewhere in there too, and why not some new controversial religious aspect?? I'm just saying that most Maiden songs are ambiguous and completely up to the listener/reader to interpret. They are genius writers, all of them.
Anyway, i think this song portrays the best message regarding suicide that i have ever heard or read. They don't go into some fancy way of saying it, but come out and quite bluntly say "But that's the easy way, that's the selfish way, the hardest part is to get on with your life!" Truer words have never been spoken, my friends. I have always felt this way about suicide. We don't come to Earth to kill ourselves! We come to Earth to become educated, and if that means emotional trauma, then so be it.
