"What's holding up is a mirror."
he sees a reflection of himself. maynards son is what he sees?
maynard sings songs to his son, maynard is the snake?
he wants his son to grow old. thats where turning piss to wine is.
he grows to an adult, he'll be an adult, he can drink alcohol thats how old he will be. thats what "turn this piss to wine" means?
"hey're both totally void of hate, but killing me just the same"
he loves his son and vice versa.
" I am too connected to you to slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you touching me, changing me, "
this could be how he feels about his son?
"and considerately killing me" and throws that in for satire or something?it has no huge significene.
"Without the skin, beneath the storm, under these tears the walls came down. And the snake is drowned and as I look in his eyes, my fear begins to fade recalling all of those times. I could have cried then. I should have cried then."
his body is dying (without the skin, doesnt mean the soul is dying)
he looks into his sons eye and his fears of dying begin to fade, and recalling all those times with his son. he could have cried because he would know hes going to die someday, he will leave his son who he loves.
