Good interpretation Kayslinkx!

For me it's about human's ability to hurt and destroy... The world is hostile, impersonal and cruel; and sometimes, in order to survive, we must do unforgivable things. We act like unrational animals so we can survive and be part of the world we live. We become slaves, victims of the world and sometimes you can't fight back. Then you get the strenght to fight back until you get tired and cycle begins again... One day you find out what you become, and you rather isolate yourself so you cannot hurt or be hurt... The song can also relate to the people who hurt others without knowing what they are doing until the damage is done. I really love the metaphor they used. Maybe it's about somebody he hurt..

The song can have many interpretations. I really love it and it transport me into another dimenssion.

My Interpretation

very good interpretation

@Roxc This is perfect. I also feel that we do have small victories along our way in life-- that the wearing down isn't continuous-- so you get a bit complacent. The isolating yourself is pretty situationally dependent-- many never feel this. But for those who do, this resonates 100%. Cheers. WA, AU
