The next line refers to how deeply hidden it is "you'll never know unless you dig around". Second verse: The first line refers to his "mark" or "stain" that won't "wash out", this fits my interpretation in that he is uncomfortable with his sexuality and see's it as a "stain" that he wishes he could remove. "I'll get burned" is a lament on the perceived consequences of him accepting himself as gay.Īlthough I transcribed the repeated next line as "And hey, it's a crazy life" I feel it could also be "And hey, it's a crazy lie" meaning that rejecting his desires is leaving him feeling dishonest to himself. None of this indicates a homosexual passion until the line "We stomped at the grass to no avail", suggesting that they tried to suppress their desires and failed, which suggests a forbidden attraction such as homosexuality. "Remember the sparks that caught the wind and torched the field" is a reflection on the first interactions that led to the passion. (The hidden ending to the phrase "I Am.")įirst verse: About him and a lover developing a relationship ("We built fires) that he sees as being passionate enough to burn entire woods (fire as a metaphor for passion is very common). Jist: I think the song is about accepting himself as a homosexual.
The following interpretation is quite an audacious guess at the meaning of the song, so I will try to justify every point I make as well as I can.
