Beneath The Surface Lyrics

The intentinoal meaning of the song (that is, DT's interpretation of the lyrics) is completely lost to me because this song describes so perfectly a HUGE chunk of my life and the relationship between me and someone else which caused more than a few personal crises and dilemmi (its the correct word, look it up!) I don't know what anyone else has gone through but this song captured 13 years of complete and total agony (and the conclusion thereof) so well that the first time i listened to it, I had to pull the car over and take a breather before the song even ended.

My Interpretation

Without a doubt there is agony in this song , I hate it but it digs deep , we all have had shit to deal with in our lives but we need to look past it and move on , we don't get anywhere bitchen about our past .. look on the bright side and kick some Ass .. be a legend and not a statistic, move forward and be somebody... Thats my Theory !
