This song is one of my favorite song for years now.
but, the late political situation in my country led me to a strong new understanding of it.
as a very carrying person, I used to loud my voice and opinion,
& share it where ever I could
in a strong belief that I could make a change and to make things better.
while lately I came to a conclusion about two things
They (the politicians) don't speak for us.
most of us don't really listen.
so I've decided that a quiet time for me is needed and a time out from useless arguments on the net is required.
many interpret the song lines as referring to committing suicide because of the line -
''A handshake of carbon monoxide''
while I refer it to a handshake with a breathing human being. rather then bots I don't really know on the net.
I hope I'd get A more optimistic view of things soon.
