My favorite song from the album as well.

I think Uncle Bengi and I have the same interpretation. The opening verses point to someone whose experiences have caused them to be the person they are. The final line makes me wonder if the song is concluding that people don't really change.

"It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..."

Will the subject of the song who "brings people down" ever stop doing so? And if so, can we really blame them?

My Interpretation
