And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominations over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories, without love
I think this song is how we reach for so much in our lives which inevitably is all empty. He's lost someone he loves and has realised that she's more important than anything he has ever strived for. That LOVE - beyond all else is what life is for. Not building kingdoms for all to see.
Ambition is wrongly placed and his enemies are the desires for more wealth and materialistic obsessions.
He's realised this at the same time as he sees the profoundness of his love for someone who is no longer there. And he's missing her. Missing her to the point he feels like he may go mad.
Well...that's what I think...
Other songs I would recommend...
Sting : Fields of Gold
Jeff Buckley : Lover, You Should've Come Over
(actually ANYTHING by Jeff Buckley - go and buy the album Grace people!)
There's a verse missing above..
And I have never in my life Felt more alone than I do now Although I claim dominations over all I see It means nothing to me There are no victories In all our histories, without love
