Off he goes...for many years i went down a self destructive road..and forgot about my dreams and family ..I came back after a dark trip inside and no code soundtracked this , off he goes for me represented my wayward mind and could relate to it greatly..everyone's interpretation of a song is different that's what's so great about music, it can be profound and deeply moving..and for me off he goes resonates still today.
Better Man, Nothingman, Present Tense, Down - it's been a progression. I would have just put Better Man, but that would mean I was still that person in that situation, it's easy to think of yourself that way, it's the true evil of abuse, changes how you perceive yourself, but Nothingman is the break, Present Tense is the struggle after and Down is the everyday fight to not be swallowed by the darkness and not let the light escape - he may have lost the bolt of lightning, but guess who has it now.
