Lyrics
Uh, the goat in him is hard to kill
The inherent greatness in him is resilient and challenging to overcome.
And is has yet to eat his fill
His potential for achievement has not been fully realized or satisfied.
Its lengthy struggle
The journey he has undertaken is arduous and demanding.
Has dragged him to the top of the pile
Despite the challenges, he has risen to the top of his field or domain.
But the summit is sunless
The pinnacle of success lacks fulfillment or joy.
In dark he ponders its success
In darkness, he reflects on the meaning and achievements of his success.
Holds what he's created
He cherishes and preserves what he has created with the skillful hands he possesses.
In the hoofs he calls his hands
His hands, described as hoofs, emphasize the labor and effort he puts into his creations.
But he's in love
Despite his success, he finds solace and love in the simplicity of nature beneath him.
With the dead grass underneath his hooves
He appreciates the dead grass beneath his hooves, finding value in simplicity.
Cause it's better than nothing
The simplicity of the dead grass is better than having nothing at all.
He's in love
Repetition of the theme of finding love and comfort in simplicity.
Dinner bell
The mention of a dinner bell introduces the idea of sustenance or satisfaction.
Chlorophyl
Reference to chlorophyll suggests a connection to life and growth.
Ringing in his stomach
The sound of the dinner bell and the idea of chlorophyll evoke hunger.
He's in love
Reiteration of the theme of finding love and satisfaction in simple elements.
The weak part is getting stronger
Despite vulnerabilities, his weaker aspects are becoming more robust.
His shadow getting longer
His influence or presence is growing, casting a longer shadow.
The light is fading fast
The light, representing positivity or success, is diminishing rapidly.
Like winter setting in
A metaphorical comparison to the onset of winter, symbolizing decline.
With the viewpoint he commands
His perspective from the top allows him to review every step of his ascent.
From the height at which he stands
The elevated position grants him authority and control over his surroundings.
He can retrace every step to the top
He can revisit and analyze each step leading to his success.
But he'd rather poke out his eyes instead
Despite this, he would rather avoid confronting the reality and consequences of his success.
Up there there is no cover between the sky and him
No protection exists between the vast sky and him in his elevated position.
Can't help thinking it's over cause
Contemplating the end, as he believes there's nowhere else to go but backward.
The only way left to go is back.
Expressing a sense of conclusion or resignation, with limited options remaining.
