This is an easy one to figure out. It is about the suicide of a famous person (I think it may be INXS singer, powderfinger did mention they wrote a song about him).
"I tell you he’s a private man In a public circumstance "
This man is hiding something maybe his depression. In public he outs on a facade, so no one knows how he is really feeling.
"He’s eyeing off an old doorframe Looking for a drastic change" I think Michael (INXS singer) hanged himself from a door knob. He is not happy with his life at the moment something has to change or he will never snap out of his depression (or what ever it was he was feeling)
"It’s such a shame this has to end But things are out of his command"
Its such a shame he feels he has no way out but to die. His life is spinning out of control.
"History secures his name" could be a reference to this person being famous.
"There’s no more problems to defend" A sign of suicide is when a person becomes really happy, he has found a way to solve his problems and he will be soon free of them forever.
"Now he falls so far" THis is the only confusing about the song because michael, I dont think, jumped of a building. Maybe powderfinger are genralising the song to the whole population this can be backed up by "When he falls so far When you fall so far
Now he falls so far When you fall so hard" I think the band maybe challanging people not to take this road. It only causes pain for other people. When you have a problem try to tackle it in a way that is healthy for yourself.
I can fully relate to this song, it is one of my all-time favourites. I tend not to listen to it these days it depresses me.
