I've allways thought, to no reason, that this was suposed to be a friend calling a guy and offering him a gig, a job or something (the "frequencies" could bey money talk) and he embarked on a trip to england, where he stayed for a while. I've always putted together this one with one that comes early in the album (So Easy), the one with the dialogue: (and with that answer she means _everything_) ^_~Ībout the song.
The wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles It's happened enough that he's noticed the pattern, but seems to have no want to change it. The song has a numb quality that reflects his jaded view of what's going on. additionally, he doesn't have the balls to be direct with her about what he's really thinking and is instead talking in circuitous metaphors, receiving the cold shoulder in return.Īll this disappointment makes him want to get away, think of another place and time where he thinks he could go back to and find happiness, which he'll chase with similar results, and everywhere he goes he just finds more places that he'll look back on later and chase fruitlessly. He does manage to meet back up with his ex, but they soon realize they don't have much in common anymore. but soon after he gets there, he realizes that it's just as bleak as before, except maybe moreso sinch things have changed and old friends are no longer around, so he can't remember what could have made him think it would be so magical, it's no better than when he left. So he finally goes back to Norway all psyched because he built it up so much in his mind as this magical place where he can finally find happiness. the love that traveled far actually just traveled in him and it finally caught up with him that he might have missed out on something really good. so this time England's the place he goes and something there-or something that's not there- is what reminds him of and makes him dwell on being back home in Norway where maybe he had had a girlfriend and it didn't work out or he had to leave. When he was in England he was constantly missing his home (Norway in this case, I guess) and began to build it up in his mind as the place where he actually wants to be, where he can be happy, maybe. It's just about the facet of the human condition where one is never happy with what one has and where one is.
Will remind, will remind, will remind me, The wise mans tools are analogies and puzzles But I was missing all that time in England
