but it kind of thrust me into asking another question... how do we know when weve found the answer? ive seen a lot of intelligent debate here related to this song but ive also seen some alarmingly closed minded approaches... especially regarding the subjectivity of symbolism (too much "im right and youre wrong" and not enough "wow, i didnt see it that way, but rather this way")

so i guess the real question i have: is the person willing to dig the deepest always going to be the one who is "right" ?
