Lyrics
Nothing in his mind, the rent there's much too high
Nothing occupies his thoughts due to the high cost of rent.
Does it make him want to occupy this life?
Questioning whether the challenges of life make him desire to engage in it.
Hiding all the things he prays the world won't find
Hiding aspects of himself, hoping the world won't discover them.
Still it makes him run away so paranoid
Despite the concealment, paranoia drives him to run away.
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Addressing someone as a "beautiful son" and suggesting their potential if not for destructive tendencies.
Nothing in his mind but childhood memories
His mind is filled with childhood memories.
Does it make him want to live those years again?
Contemplating whether reliving past years is a desire.
Hair is finally growing back over his wounds
Hair regrowth symbolizes healing from past wounds.
Still it makes him want to hurt the ones he loves
Despite healing, there's a desire to harm loved ones.
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Reiteration of the potential if not for reliance on guns.
So the future never came, while the past is just the same
Reflecting on a stagnant future while the past remains unchanged.
No, we both know you'll go far when you discover who you are
Expressing confidence that self-discovery will lead to success.
Who you are
Reiteration of the importance of discovering one's identity.
Still on a mountain peak of anger, well
Despite being on a peak of anger, there's limited action (yelling).
All that he can do is yell
Expressing frustration at the limited response to anger.
To all of us down far, far below
Yelling at those below, possibly indicating a sense of superiority.
But we all know
Acknowledging collective awareness of the situation.
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Reiteration of untapped potential if not for destructive tendencies.
