    Caleb
    There is a man in this world, who has never smiled
    You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart
    In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child
    A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy
    Known to us from this day on
    By his father,
    Caleb.

    His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie.
    He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way.

    "Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember"
    "The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son..."
    One person can make a difference, sometimes...
    Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck.

    Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

    All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
    Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day...

    Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
    At the end of every tunnel's a little light.
    It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
    "He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not."

    "I hate it and fear can't face it
    the child is not right, he's my greatest shame

    Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
    That old apple tree
    Where dead snakes let him feed on those

    Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
    Somehow, lost one more way back home

    Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago.
    The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life.

    Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade.
    He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever.
    She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
    Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together

    Over the hills, under the sea,
    Fighting the will, whole Universe
    Why does a man driving a hearse
    Live in fear, Gift and a Curse

    Taking 'em out, taking 'em all,
    Shooting the wall, over and out
    When nothing moves, all's well,
    A decision he can find a way to live with

    ...and dried up flowers are so beautiful.
    And it applies to all things living, and dead.
    For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell.

    "Now I ring the bell to tell the world,
    I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall ..."
    oo-oo-ooo
    This necessary evil has no heart
    ooo-oo-ooo
    Flowers and people he will now enlace
    A price he must pay serving a cold
    ...whatevergod.

        Dunque, per quel che ho capito io:

        > > In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child
        > > A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy

        C'era una volta un padre, una madre e un bambino silenzioso.
        Cioe` probabilmente autistico: e` il trademark dei piccoli... autisti.

        > > His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie.
        > > He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way.

        La madre cerca da subito di confortarlo con un'imprecisata bugia, presumibilmente che la sua condizione non e` nulla di detestabile e roba del genere.

        > > "Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember"
        > > "The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son..."
        > > One person can make a difference, sometimes...

        Il padre invece lo detesta, e cerca di ucciderlo sia fisicamente (pensando di, o forse arrivando a, provare a spezzargli il collo) che psicologicamente (con parole "fatte per dristruggerti, non per ferirti").

        > > Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
        > > All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
        > > Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day...

        Non chiara.
        [edit: forse un riferimento al suo futuro delitto e al funerale seguente]

        > > Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
        > > At the end of every tunnel's a little light.
        > > It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day

        La madre entra nel tipico atteggiamento che appare iperprotettivo/autoreferenziale, mentendo anche a se` stessa affermando che alla fine potrebbe andare ancora tutto bene, il figlio potrebbe trovare il suo posto, ma che in realta`...

        > > "He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not."

        e` un ragionamento egoistico: "sono felice finche` non ce la fa", e quindi finche` il figlio ha bisogno della sua protezione, presumibilmente per sempre.

        > > "I hate it and fear can't face it
        > > the child is not right, he's my greatest shame
        > > Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
        > > That old apple tree
        > > Where dead snakes let him feed on those

        Non chiaro, ma probabile riferimento al frutto del peccato originale in stile biblico, con l'albero di mele, il serpente e il resto.

        > > Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
        > > Somehow, lost one more way back home

        Il figlio perde poi le speranze e va in depressione (sintomo tipico: "qualunque parola dolce puo` solo fargli male, ormai"). Ha perso un'altra via per una "casa" come stato mentale (pace interiore).

        > > Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago.
        > > The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life.

        La madre vive in mezzo a un lago, o forse il remare e` una metafora per il riavvicinarsi: il figlio rema verso di lei (che comunque resta obiettivamente "a monster"), restandole attaccato e assecondandola nella sua nevrosi, sebbene avrebbe dovuto lasciarla anni prima.

        > > Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade.
        > > He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever.
        > > She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
        > > Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together

        Come Edipo, Caleb uccide suo padre (per stare con la madre per sempre).

        > > For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell.

        Ecco, il finale e` poco chiaro, ma dal tono deciso e battagliero della musica penso che Caleb finalmente trovi un suo equilibrio, sebbene un equilibrio perverso ("a decision he can find a way to live with"), celebrandolo contro tutte le aspettative di un Universo a lui ostile fin dalla nascita. Forse comincia ad apprezzare la morte e diventa qualcosa tra un becchino (uno che guida "hearses", carri da morto) o un esecutore per un regime in cui vige la pena di morte ("necessary evil"). Trova soddisfazione a portare via (se non anche a uccidere) tutti i membri della societa` che presumibilmente aveva sempre invidiato, apprezza i fiori essiccati e vorrebbe che tutta la vita fosse come loro. Fantasma

        Dylandoghiano, come testo, direi. Sorpresa
