FYI, the quote/sample in the middle of the first verse is from Kahlil Gibran, and is as follows:
“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
AMAZING song, by the way, and totally has a "Learning To Live" feel, as well as bits of "Octavarium" and "In The Presence Of Enemies"!
Lyrically speaking, it is a sequel to "Far From Heaven", and is about being able to get over your own issues and learning to live with them, or overcome them, and become a better person. Or something like that...
Great guitar solo in the middle - JP wasn't kidding about the "La Villa Strangiato" vibe of it!
