2. Recognition
of flaws and
mistakes
made.
Repetition
There's a lot that I don't know
of ‘a lot’
emphasises
this. There's a lot that I'm still learning
When I think I'm letting go
Element of not being confident and
sure in one’s self.
I find my body it's still burning
Uncomfortable –
Unable to move on
from mistakes.
3. Faults/Person?
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Inability to move on.
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast
Emotive – Paints a picture. Train/airplane/unspecified
wreck? Possible literal interpretation or through
lighting/editing – Jump cuts?
4. [Chorus] Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
Rejection of
To know that I've survived religion?
Family? No
need to justify
I'm not looking for forgiveness his choices.
Yeah I just need light
I need light in the dark
As I search for the resolution Repetition –
Important.
Desire for some
sort of help?
5. Generic point of desperation.
And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
For the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
Movement
of time and
inability to
function in Realisation?
the ‘real
world.’
6. Constant awareness.
I could hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I fear
Escapism – Inability to escape from
flaws/mistakes/society/pressure/religion?
7. [Chorus]
The resolution
Repetition –
Searching for
this resolution The resolution
to problems.
Held down And you hold me down
provides no
escape from
problems. Yeah you hold me down
8. Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
9. [Chorus]
More repetition – I need life
Emphasises desire.
I need life
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
