Steven talks about this song on a roadrunner website somewhere.
He said that the album Signify was all about how people feel a pressure and desire for their life to signify something.
With this song, he said as you grow older you start to realize it isn’t so important for it to signify something, as long as what you have done has still been fulfilling etc.
That people shouldn’t put so much pressure on themselves to have their life signify something.
The reference to Black Dhalia murders is that the victim was trying hard to be famous supposedly, I think an actress and this came at the ultimate cost — her life.
Maybe is she hadn’t been striving so hard to make her life be ‘significant’ then she’s still be alive.
I think that was the general gist of what he said, I don’t really remember it that well.
