| this song seems to show a person evolving, or adapting to what is around them. the person has to adapt to make what is hard, easier. when he says "Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders" hes saying life as is,is hard to live with, but if you work hard and tough it out, it will become easier. he goes from having the weight of the world on his shoulders to being able to fly. he works hard while his under pressure and changes and when the pressure is relieved, he can fly | |

| I think in the verse "Every day a new deception Pick your scene and take direction And all in all I search to connect But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets" By i wont wear a mask he means he wont be some one hes not well that whole verse says that, "pick your scene and take direction" means find out what you like and stick with it and dont let anyone tell you its wrong... | |

| This is one of the best songs I have heard in a long time. That said here is my thought. I believe that the person to a leap of faith, against all odds and is happy with his decision to fly from the inside. He broke out of his mold and is determined to make it. Sometimes he feels the strain of it all, but he wouldn't have it any other way. I have no regrets and I'm just making my way and I'm gone. Sounds like a good way to live life. | |

| Pressures of Life - Sometimes it feels like the world is pressing down on you like a million pounds of hot metal... sometimes when it is too much, it feels like the weight of the whole world is crushing the very breath from you. The chain that tethers us all to our routines and our lives... that binds you to your tasks and generates that crushing weight... PIERCED AT LAST! But as sweet as it is to throw of that chains that bind.. the sting remains long after the chains are off. Dying eyes of all the onlookers... the haters... the envious... the oppressors consumes me. The voice inside screams outloud... unable to be contained... a primal shout of pent up emotion... Like baptism, its a saving feeling of relief from the final straw breaking the back and causing the release. My intense drive and focus are now on the next chapter of my life that has been finally opened by the cast off chains... THANK GOD! How?? Cause I... found a way... to steal the sun from the sky... the very thing that all around us hold so dear... as a symbol of all that is good and right. Long... live that day... that I decided to to take to the air and fly with that light of the sun shining bright from inside... nothing holding me back.. nothing stopping me! "Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside" "I can't escape the pain I can't control the rage Sometimes I think that I'm 'a go insane I'm not against what's right I'm not for what's wrong I'm just making my way and I'm gone" And I will do it till the day i die! This is so me... this is such an excellent song... the perfect blend of harmony and disharmony... this is the kind of song that, for me, can change my life -SS | |

| I dig it. It's a song about change, flying from the inside. I can relate to this as I have changed drastically over the course of a year and I have no regrets. | |
