Schoolyard freaks are freezing, down getting teased again
(obviously the "freaks," him included, would get beat up on the way to or from school)
I'm looking back and down and watching it go by
(he's looking over his shoulder for anyone behind him and looking down because he's depressed)
Down at the stockyards cattle screaming, the trains squeak by again
(everyone else assumed he was on a train which he wasn't, the "metal coffins" in the songs are the train cars used to transpot the cows which are to be slaughtered for beef, leather, etc)
I can feel my breath and I'm so thankful I'm not one of them
(it's freezing and he's glad he's not one of the cows taken to be butchered )
The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again
It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles
(it's freezing, still)
Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again
Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 am
(school is the same routine everyday, have to get up at 7)
Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
(sit down at school til it's over)
The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
Through 5-3 eyes
(a new day begins again, presumably his eyes and he's 5 foot 3 inches tall)
Schoolyard freaks are freezing, pushed to the ground again
(the "freaks" are being beaten by bullies, pushed to the cold ground )
I'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky
(he's waititng for the day to be over, darkness to come from the west ie the night sky)
The sound of bottles breaking still breaking in my ears
They opened just in time to empty out and gouge away the years
(the first line could go 2 ways because of it's vagueness, i think anyway, him and a friend could be out drinking somewhere "they opened just in time to gouge away the years" in other words they opened and were drunk just in time to numb the repetitve pain since he was obviously underaged he was probably drinking behind a friends house or in a secluded place and throwing the bottles after they're done )
Schoolyard freaks are bleeding, down getting kicked again
I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes
The sound of cattle screaming, still screaming in my ears
They came in metal coffins -
(the cows came in on trains again, you'd be noisy if you were a large animal crammed into a train car with so many other cows)
chained me up and hacked me off my years
(the bullies took my childhood away)
i found oralstd's entry interesting but the darkness from the west was obviously just the night simply because his explanation was overcomplicated, why would they reverse 4-10 to be 10-4 just because it sounded better. as for the particular verses, i don't know which version of the bible he was referring to but i know that ephesians 5-3 doesn't match the verse that oral gave.
i don't know about rocknroze's entry but i personally wouldn't believe it because everyone seems to "know" a band when they're entering a comment here and the only person that confirmed there entry was the sweaterkid who became a member 3 days after rocknroze so that could be a second name or a friend confirming it. ~DS
