The 3rd and 4th lines talk about his memories of a normal life are fading, becoming a fantasy it seems.
Time is flying by, and not for good reason.
The first two lines represent how time is blurring, all seems the same. Most of the first stanza is speaking of the past. My InterpretationThis is obviously about a solider returning home. "And I can't seem to find my way home" could also mean "I" can't seem to find the place where I belong, fit in, or where "I'm" finally accepted. "Another day settles in as quickly as it goes" could mean life is passing this person by, and this person continues living as an outcast. "Another day in this carnival of souls", another day in this world of people who don't acknowledge "my" existence. It could also be about acceptance and not being able to fit in with society, family or friends. "And I can't seem to find my way home" is pretty self explanatory, a soldier not being able to return home. "The faces of people, I'll never see again", may mean meeting new people, whether it be other soldiers or civilians that you connected or build a special bond with, you'll more than likely never see again for whatever reason. "A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams" could imply soldiers who have lost their lives and can no longer have dreams, hopes, and ambitions of returning home. Days seem to go by quickly, and the "memories are shadows ink on the page" represent the fact that this soldier has been away from his family for so long that his memories are blurred and obscured, to the point that the letters he receives from his family is just "ink" on a piece of paper.Īll the places I've been and things I've seenĪ million stories that made up a million shattered dreamsīeing a soldier and traveling through a different country/countries and seeing or witnessing things other's who aren't in your position will never see or experience, whether it be good or bad experiences. But I also believe it could have multiple meanings.Īnother night settles in as quickly as it goesĬarnival of souls represent's the other troops. General CommentIn my opinion, I think this is through a soldier's point of view.
