First of all, the love for poetry is for it to resonate with the reader as it fits.
This is why often times artists don't make known the actual meaning, because they
want the reader to resonate with it in their own way. The ability to resonate with the
words or lyrics instead of dismissing it, because it doesn't resonate with us. Poetry
and lyrics are emotional bonds. If you knew the meaning would you still listen to it?
Would you still feel the lyrics? Empaths would, even if it took from our own
interpretation we'd absorb what the writer was feeling. It can be frustrating to not
know what the person was going through if you're in fact an empath, but the moral is
to not disqualify a "good song or poem," overthinking can destroy good things, which
could resonate with the writer here. Only recently have I started looking into the
actual meanings of songs and I never wanted to know, because it does take away the
depth of it and how it resonates to me. I would say that the best way to interpret any
song or poem, is to feel it in your own way. I will however tell you how it resonates
with me. To begin in depth, we must know the vocabulary, wouldn't you think so?
Black flies spiritually represent hate, malice, or blame.
Black flies on the windowsill represents a fly that is trapped and wants out, it is
imprisoned, drawn to a seductive light (warmth). Some are fortunate enough to take
a different route, others not so much.
That we are, that we are, that we are to know- the person knows where there stance is
whether it be an expectation, someone's got a hold on them, or they don't know how to
escape on their own.
Winter stole summer's thrill, flies are attracted to warmth of the sun, or the idea of
freedom.
The river's cracked and cold it is hardening and breaking.
See, the sky is no man's land and no man's land means a strip of land that no one owns
or controls.
A darkend plume to stay... a plume is the wings and darkening is an expression. Could
it be that they're deadening, worn out, overexertion, hurting? What this says to me
that the person would be a fool to stay.
No man is an island, he isn't self-sufficient, he must rely on comfort.
Not a fox in your place (gosh that's heavy ah) this is where the illistrator indicates
that this is about someone. There's no one comparable to (only writer knows).
No man is an island again saying that they need someone dependable to rely on for comfort emotional support.
Oh, this I know is the writer confirming that they can't be with the "unknown."
But can't you see, oh? The writer is asking if the person knows how they feel.
Or maybe (which doesn't mean yes or no), you were the ocean (ocean represents a symbol
of stability, it is boundless, a place to easily get lost, which one can get lost on
their journey. Don't oversee the depth, significance, and impact the ocean has. 71% of the earth is made of of water. This is "deeper than the holler," as Alan Jackson would say. In other words it's not meaningless.
When I was just a stone (gosh that's like being stabbed in the gut with a knife). What the writer is saying is that they don't feel worthy enough.
Every story must grow old. Our journeys will all come to an end, eventually. Whether it be now or later. It is inevitable like death. The writer is probably saying that
no matter when it will happen at some point and time.
Still I'll be a traveller. With or without they'll keep travelling. "It's the journey," the show must go on.
A gypsy's reign to face. A gypsy would be the roamer, and reign means a king or queen.
A gypsy's reign to face, but the road is wearier (tiredness), with a fool found in
your place. (Hard hitting message) The writer is stating carrying the weight of regret.
The entirety of of these lyrics hit like a ton of bricks, but this next part is as deep as it gets.
I don't want to be your pardon, they don't want to pass this by like it was nothing or
they were no one.
I don't want to ask you why, but if I was to go my own way, would I have to pass you by. This is more reassurance that this is about someone. The writer doesn't want to
ask them why this is the outcome of their situationship (friend or romance), if they
give up will they have to pass them by? Doesn't want to face them or the situation, not wanting to relive it, because it cuts too deeply.
Again, however it resonates with the reader, that's what it means. Whatever it means to you is what it means. This is beautifully written. It has ben one of my favorites since I first heard it.
I 100% believe that the rumor of it being about the inability for two people to find
common grounds.
Sorry, had to edit this a bit and add in my own thoughts. Overthinkers ruin a lot of
good things by overthinking, I'm one of them. We think too deeply and get attached too
easily, but once we know better, we do better, so do better. Try not to resonate too
much with these lyrics, because this is feeling of regret and that's a predicament no
one wants to be. Although, we all do experience it, try to think outside the box.
Like having more faith, hope, and don't allow negative thoughts to consume us. These
lyrics screams 100% male energy. This man is saying that he and this person are two
different people, or maybe that's just how he sees it? He thinks of them as the depth
of the ocean, whereas, only sees himself as stone. He doesn't feel good enough. This
is someone who feels insecure, yet they feel a deep longing connection to someone they
don't think are capable of feeding their insecurities (making them feel more
insecure). It's like wanting a slice of cake, but you're on a diet. ;) The other
person is secure in their ways, confident, and free spirited. They don't know how to
let them go, but doesn't know how to be with them either. "Heal the root so the tree
is stable," comes to mind. Figure out what broke you, so that you can find the other
open window or door, instead of falling dead on the windowsill like many flies do (a
feeling of being trapped), but wise enough to find another way out. One of them has
found their escape, but the other hasn't. I think that is what he admires about her,
she's free and makes him hopeful. Men settle too often, because they commit to
relationships that feel safe. An example of these lyrics is a battle between your head
and your heart. "You love her, but you let her go." Very few men know how to follow
their heart, they aren't wired for it like women. Ultimately, which is worse living in
regret or taking a chance? I say, know your worth, stand on it. Whatever is most
valuable to you. It's your life, everyone else just lives in it. Don't let life pass
by trying to please others. Do whatever sets your soul on fire.
Hard hitting song.
