no one has ventured to determine what this song MEANS yet?? im surprised. first of all, im not really sure he really says "your ship": i think he might be saying "the ship" or just implying "the ship". who knows....
in any case, i kinda think its about his feeling responsible for the wellbeing of mankind. the ship is society maybe. i think he says "they follow me " also. hes maybe saying how all these people look up to him to help them and he only hopes he can do it, he's gonna try to slip inside the mind of a clown - ie, be optimistic.
but really the amazing thing about this song, as is with many others - is the music put to these lyrics. its amazing, and always something that gives you goosebumps and fills you with energy. between his voice and that electric guitar riff, and great harmonies...its an amazing song.
