â€�I only have blunt scissorsâ€�, yet another object he could kill himself with and the â€�bluntest homeâ€� refers that his own home is the death of him because of all the solitude and despair that lies inside with him. â€�On the table lies blank paperâ€� to write his suicide note, â€�my tower is built on stoneâ€� suggests he could jump from a window and plummet to his death. So while contemplating suicide he fixates on the surrounding objects that will contribute to his suicide. On the next verse, he contemplates suicide and may give a clue that this man is a rich and powerful king or a high member of society that has everything except what he wants more than everything else: company and love. €�I prophesy disasterâ€� refers to the fact the man knows he will end up badly, â€�…shining, dyingâ€� means that although he has something to offer everyone else, the fact that he is completely isolated he feels undernourished and close to death. Notice the change in the way of singing at the start of â€�I am a lonely man…â€�, the person still holds a little hope and humility, but is mostly consumed by despair, agony and unwillingness to live. This part of the song definitely talks about solitude, feeling low and practically a vegetable and going really mad beyond any salvation (I’m so far out I’m too far in)
This is my personal interpretation of the story:Įyewitness: starts off the song in a really gloomy mood. My OpinionThe song tells the story of a man who had everything and lost it all and decided to live his life in isolation, sadness and bitterness as a mean to punish himself. I don't think I see right, for I blind me. Like a dog in the night, I have run to a manger Now, staggering madly, over the brink I fall. Only intent on destroying what they've lost.
Locked in silent monologue, in silent scream. So I only think on how it might have been, (Eddies, rocks, ships, collision, remorse) Lingers in the molten wax that is my head. I've been the witness, and the seal of death I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost.
