I think that it speaks volumes of a band when people can get meanings from songs that don't even have lyrics!
The start of the song is very gloomy and powerful, very heavy, as the subject is contemplating suicide.
My favourite part of this song is at 4.29 when I think that the subject is looking back upon their life and deciding maybe it is worth fighting for.
When Robs bass comes in at 5.30 it is final decision time, make your mind up!
The solos to me signify his two options left to the subject. The first solo is darker than the second in my opinion, maybe the death side with the second being life?
The breakdown comes and I think this is where the new lease on life comes too, with the music getting stronger as the subjects will does.
Maybe the repetative ending signifies the repetitive nature of life itself, with the drums over the top being the various different challenges we encounter?
Or maybe this is all bullshit and the song is a just a shit hot instrumental with no meaning other than to bring an immense album to a close?
