Boxer or the bag?

Commy

Well we hit the ground running on empty..

It's not hard to live with pain. Mix the light into gray. Sounds simple enough. But you don't see the light when your state of love and trust is tattoed into a black abyss, into a state of complete fear and uncertainty.
You say you won't let the light escape, but that darkness isn't so easy to stave off. It seems this hopless situation is exactly what we're trying to achieve. And it is all or none here.
And it seems like you were in a race that couldn't be won. But you did. And now they're taking away the prize. And they say we should hail the lucky ones in love, but for those who've lost its not so easy. Now my bitter hands...
If I could feel that love, stare back at me again. As if I could make it right. But some words when spoken just can't be taken back. And somethings you just can't undo...It's the contempt that is hardest to bear.
Is this the reason why we're here?


If you love someone set them free. If someone loves you don't fuck it up.

In Yellow Ledbetter is it "a box or a bag?" I only comprehend that part of the song. I thought it had an anti-war sentiment. If it's boxer or the bag then I will need to readjust what I think the song is about, alas.
