Gya Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the lines And he asked "Will I see heaven in mine?" (A person is very hectic and wants to know just everything NOW, without any effort. Singer is talking about that person, he was a friend of him… (?). Person asked an older and wiser person (with life experience) about his own future, what he has to do, what to expect in life, will his life be positive?) That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh, they say you can see your future Inside a glass of water The riddles and the rhymes "Will I see heaven in mine?" Oh-oh-oh-oh, I! (Life is life, try your best…, he doesn’t want to answer the person’s questions exactly. But the person doesn’t stop with asking questions, he wants to know the answers to the riddles of life now. I think “glass of water” is meant to be a … metaphor of seeing everything so clear … crystal clear) Son, don't ask Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast (Finally stop! No matter how good or bad your life may be at the moment, make your own experience, cling the positive things in your life!) So he wrote it on the wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Television selling plastic figurines of leaders Sayin' nothing at all And we chime Stars in heaven align Oh-oh-oh-oh, I! (Person is planless now, he only sees what other people are doing and want him to do/be too. He doesn’t see that it’s not what he self wants to do with his life. He aligns. Then he is looking for answers and help again) Son, don't ask Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast (Older person is trying to be a help again, is giving advise, but no directions) And what are we drinking when we're done Glasses of water (Years passed… the person is older and wiser now too, he does know now what’s important in life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
