Lyric discussion by richgalaz 

I got this one.

Paul is disclosing his guilt. This is a confession that the first half of the band's career was a joy ride.

He's telling us they've been bad, Saturn is the great god chronos, the god that ate his children to keep his power, the uncaring devil that loves himself above all, it is evidently our god, at this time in history; and he's telling us it's the world that breaks a man's resolve. What was their resolve? To help us see the dimensions (the different points of view in life). He's confessing they made an effort to keep us in the cage, being pressured by saturn. But they laid down some clues, not all their songs were misleading. He describes how you will feel when you get to that state of mind, walking through his gloom, through this room, is referring to that flow state of consciousness, where one can create and realize true purpose through knowing. Many creatives know, but they struggle daily to put the reality of 'the one way' into their arts. Daphne is his soul, the heart within the mind, the subconscious 'I' that rules, he cries out to that pure state of mind where left and right meet, the middle path, the cross or as he calls it, the symmetry. The blood allegory talks about the two laws of this realm, law of water and law of blood. He goes on to say he used to be a coyote, a creature infamous for eating babies... he was becoming this selfish destroyer of the children (ignorant, feeble minded). He is trying to take a better path but he's still a sinner (thats why he made a mess). He does tell us though, once we get to the middle path we learn no to hate ourselves for slipups and error, we get to appreciating our own inner devils as neighbours, because truth is we need always need something from them, they're the last safety net. The abusive teacher.

It's a beautiful song because it comprehends such a wide view of fame and duty.

An error occured.
