@[paxfilosoof:4350] **Actually, I think this song is about someone who is suffering. He (man) compares himself with a sufferer (a nail, a street, or a snail), but he would rather be the cause of the sufferer (a hammer) or he would rather not suffer (a forest or a sparrow). The sentence: "I would rather feel the earth beneath my feet." is not a comparison, but the reality of him. That sentence is a reference to the sentence: "Tied to the ground". I think that he is informing the listener of the song that he can't feel the earth beneath his feet, because he is tied to the ground. I think that the sentence "tied to the ground" also implies that he can't touch the ground with his feet (and thus can't feel the earth beneath his feet), but this is not an objective though, because it is not stated literal in the lyrics, and because of that reason it could be that he in fact could touch the ground with his jogger's heel, and thus feel the earth beneath his feet.** |

@[psycho8000:2695] I think this is a good explanation what the meaning of the song is. |

Actually, this song is about someone who is suffering, he is asking for help but he isn't getting help. He compares himself with a sufferer (nail, street, snail) but he would rather be the cause of the sufferer/not the sufferer (hammer, forest, sparrow) at the end he says:"i would rather feel the earth beneath my feet" (without a comparison with something else, referring to "tied to the ground", because he can't touch the ground with his feets. |

Sparrow is free, snail is slow and weak, and can't escape. Hammer hurts the nail. Forest is free of cars and traffic, and is not hurt by traffic, the street is full of traffic and full of painful movements. I would rather feel the earth beneath my feet: he is tied to the ground, so his feets are not on the ground. This person wants to be a different person who is the cause of the sufferer, not the sufferer himself. |

| This song is about a man, who is suffering, and he is asking for help, but he is not getting help. He is very sad, and he is not in the mood to tell that he has problems, because he is just completely empty of all his suffering. | |
