It's a world which you are brought in to and made into someones shall we say "guinea pig" to live in a setting where nothing is for sure. Is a world where even though knowing the old world failed, it's still keeping march forward with so much courage. General CommentHmm, I've listened to this song, and once i get intrigued by a song, I have to learn to play it on guitar, once that happens I need to understand the lyrics so bear with me as a pull this out of my ass.īasically my point of view is that a "Brave New World" I think the music of the song fits to the book, the theme is woven into the music and makes it a melancholy masterpiece. When he is found he commits suicide, hence "Dying to tell you the truth" The Savage flees and finds shelter in a forgotten lighthouse(?), where he discovers pain as a way out of his misery. He also gets the impression that there is some sort of elite cast ruling the world knowing the truth about it's flaws but willingly accepting it. He is considered some sort of messias, but his mind rebels against this thought. The Savage soon discovers the real wilderness is civilization. His mother dies shortly after the Savage and his mother arrive at "Brave New World" (which is not it's real name though) and she immediately falls back into usual behaviour of BNW, especially taking drugs to drop out of the cruel real life. The Savage, he himself a child of the Brave New World born by his mother in the wilderness where she got lost on a holiday trip, has seen a lot of life and of misery and mistakes of civilization. This love dies when he discovers that she want's to have sex with him, as usual in the Brave New World society, on a basis of pure lust, which is immoral to him.
I think this line refers to the Love of the Savage to a girl who looks innocent to him.
Dickinson, iirc, also said in an interview with Rock Hard Magazin ( ) once that the phrase "Dying Swans twisted wings." merely tries to create a feeling of senseless disgrace of beauty to lead into the song and the overall theme.
General CommentActually this song _is_ about the novel "Brave New World" by Aldeous Huxley, as the title suggests.
