i always thought the reference about the chair, was him sitting at church or whatever, maybe reading his bible or thinking, and trying to learn for himself what's right and _earn_ his ransom. not saying its a complete backing of the church, it just seems to me that he's trying to find out for himself how to earn the ransom. i also like the lines "and to right or wrong, and to meek or strong" and especially "it is known, just scream it from the wall" it seems like he's saying that anyone can find what he's looking for (i thought god, but that can be interpreted as a number of different things), everything you need is there, and its for anyone who's willing to try for it. that's just what i thought from those verses, i liked what ascribe said, it really makes me think deeper about it and i could be wrong |

this is one of my favorite pumpkins songs, if not my favorite. i agree with rockstar001 (especially on the beauty of the song itself), but could it also be a story of unrequited love? "you love him, you love him for yourself you love him and no one, no one else" "it was all so simple as you watched him move across the darkness in your room" he's saying how easy it was for her to fall in love with the "him". (it seems like a stretch but i was in a similar situation and thats why i read it like that) "you will lose him then on some gentle dawn this boy is here and gone" At the same time, though, he knows that the other guy she loves will leave her. the rest of the song just seems to have a very sad undertone, and the music itself is very negative (if you listen to the guitar between perfect and this, it goes from being happy to sad sounding) and thats why it seems to me that the speaker himself is sad, not just that it's a sad situation. i dunno, thats always been my take on it. was there a video? i thought i read something about some video for it being in black and white and being about an abusive relationship but i'm not sure... would love to see one for it though |
