I was working in a shithole one day Some fool came up to me and said "you'd make a star with that band," I said, "it's not why we're doing this, Why can't you fucking get it?" 'Cause all I've got to do is release through These obstacles I've got to beat Release from the man who manipulates me By the breaking of my back, With nothing left worth saving All I gotta do is release through the Obstacles I've yet to beat Take us to a sturdy ship Where we raise our glasses No pints too dodgy here We don't need our problems here Away from all these people, They're posing about, waiting for the next scheme To tip them off and leave them drowning In what they think is real All that's ever been and all that's been said It's not to my regret, you gotta Face the edge of yourself And they say if you got humor through it all You'll find the will to survive what seems like hell Take me to the water, launch me out to bloody sea 'Cause all you gotta do is release Through these obstacles you've got to beat Take us to the water Launch us out to sea And may the drunken mad ones follow me

    My Interpretation:I think this is about Iron Maiden's lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. In 1992-93 when this song first came out, he'd just announced that he was leaving Iron Maiden to go start a solo career, saying that he was doing it because he wasn't happy anymore and that if he failed, so be it, which is basically what this song says. Also, his farewell show with Maiden ended with him being killed in an iron maiden torture device (the Slaughter of Bruce, get it?).
