“What amounts to a dream anymore? A crude device; a veil on our eyes. A simple plan we'd be different from the rest and never resign to a typical life…”
*A STATEMENT: Whoa with these lyrics, whoa! To me is about having dreams and being confused about what we should do with our lives, either follow them, although they may seem unrealistic, or fall into a regular and typical life. This song could be seen through the perspective of someone who waited around so long and didn't even try to follow those dreams, now time has passed him by, so when he realizes that, apparently it is too late for him to fulfill them now. The last verse is pure gold; it summarizes the uncertainty when it comes to deciding, especially a life decision, I think somehow it refers to all the different aspects that play such an important role in the decision-making process, all the little/major factors that are swirling in our head, some are so big that scare and paralyze us and keep us from taking action towards the completion of that dream.
I guess the “comforting” (yeah, right! ¬¬) thing to be said here is that if you try and you fail, you can always go back and live the typical and regular life you were trying to avoid in the first place, but at least you won’t get to say you didn't give it a shot. But then again, the implications are so big… well I guess I shouldn’t take too much time figuring myself out…
