What makes this song so great is the arrangement of the music to the lyrics and the effects of the music supporting the tension in the words. The percussion sets the tone, a militaristic drum beat at points, then a rolling drum line. The arrangement of the harmonies and the phrasing of the lyrics, "But deep inside Geronimo is tearing me apart" It begs a comma after Geronimo - think about who Geronimo was and the usage of his name by Army paratroopers etc. It is the battle of becoming who we are to be - best line: "Now's the time I must digress
From going through the motions
Take my head out of its sling."
Yeah - get our heads out of the slings, healed and strong - free our warrior inside us!
