Kirk talks about not dwelling on the past, and then moves on to phrases like "Drown in despair/Set yourself free" and suggests-- it seems to me-- he gains a life (because he says "ANOTHER life") through a metaphorical transfusion. Add in the last line about not being alone, and part of me wonders if he isn't talking about how we can gain life by mere means of being social creatures. Knowing others can relate is, in itself, like a transfusion of life. Great friends (and sometimes the resulting great lovers) are like the blood of life itself. How else can you be set free by suffering? Only by sharing it with others and working through it.
Amazing song. Amazing album. Amazing band.
