i think this song might be in reference to dostoyevsky's crime and punishment...after the main character (rodya) gets busted, the detective's argument for why rodya shouldn't kill himself is that "life is waiting for you [rodya]. Though, who knows? maybe your life, too, will pass off in smoke and come to nothing. Come, what does it matter, that you will pass into another class of men? It's not comfort you regret, with your heart! What of it that perhaps no one will see you for so long? It's not time, but yourself that will decide that. Be the sun and all will see you. The sun has before all to be the sun." i just thought that it was pretty deep, and a couple of other elements from the book can be related to the song...but now, i'm rambling...this song kicks arse no matter what it means
