'Think I'm stranded but I don't know where
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine'
Wonderful ideas, or intentions, but no actions to back them up or flesh them out.
'In the sun where these dark winds wail
And these children leave their rulers behind
As we cross ten leagues from a Rubicon
With matchsticks for my bones'
Rubicon is a river in Italy, and was illegal to cross. Having done so, it would be foolish, but 'necessary'.
If we could learn how to freeze ourselves alive
We could learn to leave these burdens to burn
Easy solution, but impossible none the less.
'Cast out these creatures of woe
Who shattered themselves
Fighting a fire with your bare hands'
Get rid of the old, self-destructive nature of things, instead of just waiting for it to go away(i.e fighting a fire with your bare hands)
'Now my journey takes me further south
I want to hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones'
Government. Blind men believing in blind faith. I'm not positive, but I'm quite sure gypsy bones where used to tell fortunes.
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
Anyone else feel like they're the only one that thinks their right? No?
'And how can I new again
What rusts every time it rains?'
You do something, but it was really for nothing, because the figurative rain messes it up constantly.
'And the rain it comes and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake'
Little orphans, big fuckin' waves. Getting mauled over by something bigger than yourself, something that doesn't give a crap about you.
'If I wake up and see my maker coming
With all of his crimson and his iron desire'
Possibly taxes? Lol. The world always wants SOMETHING from ya.
'We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing'
wanting is a heavy weight, and drags you down when you least want it to.
'To be loved or destroyed
From a void to a grain of sand in your hand'
People can do you good, or great evil. A void, nothing, and a grain of sand, something, no matter how small.
Well, that's about it. Beautiful song, wonderful lyrics, just my opinion~
