Whenever I hear the lyrics, I think of it as a person finally achieving a goal. “I’m the king of my own land”, I interpret as you can decide what to do with your dream. “Facing tempests of dust, I’ll fight until the end”, I think of having perseverance through the adversity and failures on your journey to the goal. “Creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me” I think is the process of seeing the success beginning to happen and everything starting to click. “Now and forever, I’m your king” you’ve achieved the goal....

This track explores themes of obsession and destructive love. The lyrics suggest that the singer's love for their partner has become a powerful force, potentially overwhelming and harmful. It can also be interpreted as a personification of love as a weapon, highlighting its capacity to both inspire and destroy.

I've always felt this was about the Lost Cosmonauts conspiracy theory - i.e. the claim that the Soviet Union had several human space missions fail and the cosmonauts die, but covered it all up.

The lyrical imagery of censorship, crashing and 'dying alone', plus the title of the song, would all fit in.

I love how the way we interpret songs can shift based on new experiences we have. The past couple of years I've started to isolate myself socially because I've been going through a lot of stuff and I don't want my struggles to affect the people I care about. I don't want them to worry about me. I'm also not dating for this reason. But if I had a partner, I would fear that they wouldn't understand what I was going through or that I would have a negative impact on their lives. As much as anyone struggling deserves care,...

The past couple of years I've started to isolate myself socially because I've been going through a lot of stuff and I don't want my struggles to affect the people I care about.

But if I had a partner, I would fear that they wouldn't understand what I was going through or that I would have a negative impact on their lives. As much as anyone struggling deserves care, it can take a toll to be someone trying to support them. So to me this song sounds like a guy who wants their partner to be there for them through a tough time, but for whatever reason the partner can't. He sings, "this is how we will end, with you and me bent" - the situation will end the relationship and likely take a toll on both of them in the process.

The lyrics are very good, thank you. https://geometrydashlite.online

I got this album right after my first love had broken up with me so when the opening lyrics "All of the sudden she disappears, Just yesterday she was here" hit me I started balling.

I saw Counting Crows at Jones Beach (in Wantaugh, NY, on Long Island) and Adam mentioned having been on a date the night before and seeing Neil Young there at Jones Beach so when this album / song came out and he sings

And in the evenings on Long Island When the colors start to fade She wears a silly yellow hat That someone gave her when she stayed

I wonder if that is a reference to the girl he went on the date with.

eek i know logically this song is about partying and fucking and shiz BUT.....,,,,, as a person with bpd i find this to be such a perfect metaphorical representations of the ups in a relationship for me. i feel this song beautifully illustrates the feelings of love and obsession being so strong that i push past the logical awareness that at many other times (or all in like .actuakly bad relationships) this relationship is fucking killing me in one way or another, and the fragility that this seemingly happy state brings with it when considering my shitty past experiences and...
eek i know logically this song is about partying and fucking and shiz BUT.....,,,,, as a person with bpd i find this to be such a perfect metaphorical representations of the ups in a relationship for me. i feel this song beautifully illustrates the feelings of love and obsession being so strong that i push past the logical awareness that at many other times (or all in like .actuakly bad relationships) this relationship is fucking killing me in one way or another, and the fragility that this seemingly happy state brings with it when considering my shitty past experiences and constant subconscious sense of doubt. Even if a relationship is healthy and is cool and good and normal, im still mostly internally and mostly silently freaking the fuck out about it any time im not being given attention, so in the few times during a less consistent relationship (which has been urm all of mine so far for USUALLY uncontrollable reasons relating to commute) that i DO get the attention, its the most insane euphoric rush. but that's like the most inherently fleeting state that exists in a relationship like this-- the largely unexplored unusually positive feelings always become so much to handle that i break down and maybe even lash out if something is said or done by them that particularly freaks me out and reminds me of particularly past (romantic or nonromantic) one on one experiences.
I think this song is about complacency and of course stagnation, and then finally a kind acceptence of that complacency. It's about having all of these goals and wishes, and the gollum-esque lines represent the things you use to escape but keep you complacent, i.e. gollum's precious. Finally you realize that it's about friendship and acceptance of imperfection.
