This just popped into my head again. For no reason, just because it's so good I guess. God damn I hope they go on just ONE MORE FINAL TOUR. But at least we have these beauties to listen to. ❤
Masonic black n white checkered floor, and he covers one eye at the beginning. Could there be a weird truth to all that? This song just popped in my head yesterday. I hadn't heard it in years. I was 20 in 92.' It's still a cool song
It is a deep reflection on the end of a stage and the acceptance of new realities. From the beginning, the vocalist declares a definitive goodbye, accompanied by a blessing, which suggests a mixture of resignation and good wishes. The rhetorical question 'Why did we have to assume that we are exactly the same?' indicates self-criticism and awareness of the differences that may have led to the separation. The mention of 'talking about yourself' suggests an unbalanced relationship, where one party was more focused on themselves. The second verse continues with the idea of farewell, this time in the 'old ways'. Stories that were once entertaining are now seen as silly, reflecting a change in perspective and maturity. The image of 'falling to one's knees' and 'crawling' suggests a humiliation or loss of dignity that the narrator is no longer willing to endure. The phrase 'talking about a sale' could refer to the feeling of having been betrayed or used. The chorus introduces an almost celestial dimension with 'the heavens trembling', which could symbolize a momentous change or epiphany. The statement 'I belong to you' suggests a deep and lasting connection, despite separation. The idea that 'you get what you deserve' adds a tone of karmic justice, where actions have inevitable consequences. The final question 'Am I cold or just a little warm?' reflects an emotional ambivalence, while the desire for 'an easy life and a peaceful death' suggests a longing for simplicity and tranquility after the tumult of the relationship.
