what i really get from this song is a sense of desperation...the idea that you can grow old without fighting for what you believe in because many have resigned to the fact that we live in a world with boundaries set by government, society, and media-ingrained conformism.
the lines "You're gonna grow old, you're gonna to grow cold Before the sun can deliver you" and "Think life is too long, to be a whale in a cubicle Nails under your cuticle" kind of remind me of pink floyd's "time." i get a carpe diem idea from some of bird's songs, notably "fiery crash," "armchairs," "tables and chairs."
