This song is about being incapable of speaking your true feelings. Repression. He desperately needs to spit everything out! --I swear any moment you will hear my spirit explode--
Even though he doesnt know exactly what's wrong with him. --What's keeping my tongue tied?--
Sometimes pain turns into anger or hate. Even the sound of the song shows anger, powerlessness.
For me this could be the II part of "Draining". All that waiting turned into apathy. His definition of being strong was to bottle up his feelings. Everything went downhill and now they cant help each other
--When your hand stretches out is it way beyond (...) my reach?--
I get that from the song but I'm having trouble with these metaphores. Specially the third line:
--When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel's in the lake :(
Should I think it's a big mistake?
When there's smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don't know why--
Can someone help me please? I would appreciate it very much
