Abstract and Depressing Song/Poem

[LRT]

"Thirty Days in Another World" Across the seas of fire The lakes of frozen flame We arrive at the gates forged of shadow and light And we dance on the carnival night We are here for a single purpose For a single ancient climb across The limericks of life are a mile high And the shadows cast are always lost Here we are and we don't know what to do Falling through the seas of green and blue Banishing the night and the shadow's play Here we are for thirty days Tomorrow just won't be the same Great cathedrals of unending flame Stand upon the mountains of human pride Dancing on the carnival night Thirty days in another world Thirty shadows fall upon the walls Thirty million dieing nightly And yet again, the sun shines brightly Thirty days in the second century Thirty days since the sun was lost A weekend traveler through our world Sees the light on the carnival night Deathly darkness so thick and deep The steadily rotating shadows Candle of the frozen light Falling through the endless night Thirty days in another world Thirty shadows fall upon the walls Thirty million dieing nightly And yet again, the sun shines brightly We've arrived right back where we started Final stop on the road to die Humanity falls in a flash of light A joyous dance on the carnival night I see it as being about society and extremely depressing, but my friend thinks it's a happy song and is about love (I don't know why either), my other ex-girlfriend thinks its about death, and my English teacher thinks it makes no sense (which it doesn't).

Bump.

I like it a lot! Though, I don't much understnad it... Anyway, I like the voice I was hearing in my head when I read the "thirty.." parts, as if in some sort of a cool song.

Thanks! It was originally going to be a song, but I turned it into a poem after I dropped out of music class.

I understand it, and I thought it was about society and it's pain O_o. I love it! Though understanding it probably makes me weird...XD
