my theory of vice and struggle
the first part "whats comeing through is alive" i think he's stateing that there is something there, no doubt about it, "whats holding up is a mirror", i think this is something along the lines of a drug, like whats running strong is a mirror(used to crush/cut drugs on), whether he is refering to drugs im unsure but a codename for herion is H but it could be a metaphore within a metaphore, "whats singing songs is a snake but hes looking to turn the piss to wine", i think that is refering to maybe a jesus type figure, maybe himself, maybe an inner battle, like "whats drawing attention is a coward, but he's looking to turn nuthing into something" and the next part "there both totally void of hate, but killing me just the same", i think refers to nuthing being able to affect him as far as getting a response from this figure on the outside, but killing him just the same on the in, "the snake behind me hisses what my damage could have been" he relizes the potential of what could happen, "my blood before me begs me open up my heart again" maybe himself relizing who he is is wanting him to take a second look " and i feel this coming over like a storm again now, consideratly", everythings building up inside, "venomous voice temtps me, drains me, bleeds me, leaves me cracked and empty drags me down like some sweet gravity" maybe the drug or voice/being, becons him for more, and even though he wants to resist he cant "SWEET gravity", "the snake behind me hisses what my damage could have been, my blood before me begs me open up my heart again, and i feel this coming over like a storm again now consideratly" again, he relizes the potential of of who he is opposed to who he thinks he is, " i am to connected to you to slip away, fade away, days away i still feel you touching me changing me, and consideratly killing me" i think this part refers to the "drug" or what is affecting him, how it can still be there affecting him,"without the skin, beneath the storm, under these tears, the walls came down" i think this is kinda the breaking point, the point when nuthing can affect you anymore and where nuthing is real to you, "and as 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" he's reached the point where nuthing can affect him anymore, so he has nuthing to struggle with because he's passed that experience, maybe suicide, as hes passed that life, "should have cried then" and in the next part he explains " i have died and will die its alright i dont mind", which maybe hes talking about a mental figure, he has died mentaly already so nuthing can affect him, therefore he no longer minds a seperation from the physical world/reality, in short i think this song is maybe a struggle with drugs, or love, or an inner demon, a vice, it could really be about alot of things, but i believe its about 1 thing that has torn into him deeply, and 2 states of mind, of one being a sense of who he wants to be, and one being a sense of who he really is and what he's capable of doing is a single humanbeing, the great thing about maynard is much like nostradamus foreshadowing the future and being so vague about it that our minds can really place anything to nostradamus's predictions, anything that we really want to believe we can apply, nostradamus didnt come out and say this is whats happening, he left out key of detail, he left it so it was up to the otherside to decide what they where gonna make of his writings and how they where gonna apply them, much like maynard does with his writing, thats all of this writing, ha this is my first submission to this here site so give me some feedback of any alternations you can make outta this, later
