My InterpretationTo me, of course it's about both the times we're living and the moment in ones personal life. World gone shallow - world gone lean, no commitment, no endurance to see things through. Just thoughts of dreams built with artificial lights that never go out and fake colours that never fade. I think, or it's just the situation I'm in at the moment, that this too is about a relationship. Where the other person is ready to walk away from it, to chase those illusions, or be blissfully ignorant with them - since the real world is too hard, too dull - too real, where colours and lights actually fade. He's willing to stick with it as long as this, another illusion lasts, where it's better to stay still than move; engine wont turn and the train wont run. But the dawn is coming and with it, it's time to open ones eyes - and decide which one they want to see, the real or the artificial.
He'll stay with her, no matter which one she wants to see – but there is truth, the real to be found, and he hopes that that's the one they'll both stick to. If not, he's willing to go with it, since it's the lie is the only way for her to exist. We'll do what ever to stay alive.
My InterpretationINCEST.The singer is trying to comfort his life partner to help get her through it by stating 'We’ll do whatever just to stay alive'The majority of the lyrics can also point to this direction. 'Sometimes there’s things a man cannot know' as well as 'There is a truth and it’s on our side'. He simply is showing her that regardless of that past, he will be there so she might finally 'Look into the sun as the new days rise'.
Through the good, the bad, and the ugly.Tragic but they'll do what ever just to stay alive.even if it 'Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams'. General CommentThe song is about this world now were in darkness in the night everything is rushed this system isn't all that great nothing seems to be right during this time Jesus is with him through this time of darkness till the morning light which is a dawn of a new day the new world I'll do what ever to stay alive is reference to doing what is necessary for salvation to make it to the new day/world there is a truth that is on our side this is what is contained the bible that day is close so open your eyes. There is only one truth in the world are you willing to accept it and do what is necessary to stay alive. Song MeaningThis song tells the story of our lives.We are all chained down by responsibilities, fear and hesitation. We breeze through our lives forgetting to live our hearts out. Our dreams remains nothing but a dream. Everything is dull and there is no escape.
Yet deep down inside, there is always something. Something telling us what we really desire. The truth is, we don't have to run; we don't have to be pulled down by our thoughts; and we don't have to be afraid. Live, just stay alive. Not just any life.
My InterpretationThere's more to this than meets the eye!Actually - what's being discussed here is form of PHYSICAL nourishment via a process of 'energetic nutrition' called 'SUN-GAZING'. (look it up)What's being said is this: we're headed for tough times - 'no where to run and no gasoline' - 'in a world gone shallow and a world gone lean'.' But there is a truth that is on our side'.
(and it will always provide!)Assuming we are AVAILABLE TO HEAR and unattached enough - the message is: are you willing to open our eyes and be fed - literally!This will be a stretch for some, but for others will become THE WAY to stay alive (if/or/and) when everything falls apart.Vitality is Aliveness, and nothing is more physically vital than the sun. IT CAN AND WILL NURISH US.:).
