this is a great example of a song with very direct lyrics, that works well. sometimes songwriters keep things purposefully vague or flowery. this one is just so straightforward, no subtext needed. and as for the last lines, the irony here is the protagonist is acutely aware of how love of life can make one feel 'higher' but he himself is unable to get there. Thus he suffers doubly.
love the guitar on this song, all rhythm and no melody, sounds like an industrial grinder!
