That's just the first thing that pops to my mind is. Now, he sees his son/daughter going down a similar road and is trying to teach the son/daughter not to do whatever it is he's doing, trying to show him what the right things are to do, and emphasizing that he, the father, would do anything under the sun to see that his child not follow a similar, self-limiting path such as having/causing an unintended pregnancy. He accepts what he must do and tries, in his own limited way, to do what he can and to provide. the taking of drugs that led to sex.), gotten someone pregnant, but unlike some men, he didn't shirk from this responsibility.
He may have, while seeking a new experience/horizon (drugs, sex. The chorus, as well as lines following the chorus suggest to me that he's a man of real character. But the son/daughter, for whatever reason, can't accept this. Certain lines such as, "We are uninvited guests / in this melancholy world," and the following lines suggest that is how he once viewed/views the world this way, but realized and, as suggested by the following chorus, is trying to teach his child that it's not so bad as long as you appreciate and value those who care about you. General CommentI have no idea what the song truly means but my take on it is, is that the person the singer represents is a father talking to a son/daughter that he didn't intend to have. Is a contradiction as 'forever' carries negative connotations from the precious lines, Which just means that his love for this person will not last until the end of time. "Forever My heart will always beat your name". He's telling her that even if they had all the time in the universe it wouldn't be enough for them to be together. & most likely because of his curiosity and eagerness for change he regrets it as he's no longer the person who he once was emotionally and mentally. He's saying that the person he once was or was seen as in the eyes of others is no longer because as soon as he allowed himself to walk into unknown territory in search of a "new horizon" (maybe a relationship, love, or career), it resulted in a life changing experience must likely one which changed his perception of the world as harsh and cold. He's saying he would go beyong his way to reach her, to be with her but he wouldn't sacrifice his "dreams" = "I wouldn't sleep a thousand nights" to give her his heart or love maybe? idk lol. Maybe it's about love and the person has had bad experience from the past in the chorus: "Then why are there still tears in your eyes?"Īnd thats when the chorus begins with the person whose warning her that going down that road (a relationship or loving someone maybe?) will only lead to loss of innocence and a depressive outlook of life and the world in general and that he's just trying to make her continue to travel down the one they already know because of it's security and familiarity. He basically foreshadows that this person is going to make the same mistakes as himself, and is warning them to rely on those who care about you and those you care about as it's safe rather than searching for a "new horizon" which could lead that person down a dangerous, foreign and unsafe future experience, changing them completely in a bad way.īUT then the other person retorts to this idea by questioning him in:
He is trying to convince someone who he cares for to realise that the world they live in isn't all rainbows and butterflie I think it's about a person who has gained much experience in life and sees the world in a cynical POV with reference to the "melancholic world". It's metaphorical & it stands out from most of the other songs I've heard on eden fire or only inhuman as it's softer.īut anyways here's my 2 cents on this song.
