This got me thinking and I think that Troy would be the city by the see. The thousand ships reminded me of the story of Troy (I think it's in the Illiad) of how Paris seduced Helen to leave King whatshisface and return with him to Troy which began the Trojan war and Greace launched a thousand ships. The first thing that caught my eye was "A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress".
I think it's too much to be a coincidence. Although I've seen the "Making of Anna Molly" video where the band explains their interpretations of the song I've noticed a lot of stuff that seems to support my theory.
I realize I'm a little late posting this and am not sure who still looks at this but I've got this different interpretation that I thought I would bring up. Living with our heads already in the clouds while we are for the moment here now.is it yet time to begin or have we waited so long to start we have already doomed ourselves?Įveryone somehow seems to agree that there is some feeling of love, loss and possibly a warning.what is in you mind heart and soul? And will you listen to it? And how long we each of us continue to let it go on. How much in this way have we lost from our own individual standstill. Or if we have already let many an opportunity go by without action on our part. And by each of us ourselves, not waiting for others to do what we know we can or should do now. What have each of us missed, put off, lost, need, want or know we should have done, be doing or improving upon? The time to act is now. Discount none as we are all connected in some fashion.Find the truth that is within yourself and your life.
And depending on their position in life and their mind set it tells a story to each of us that resonates in each of our souls what each of us finds ourselves and from conversing with others and their different perspectives. They are all intwined within the other in many ways.and maybe obscure purposefully as we ourselves see many different things in many different ways therefore its obscurity has the ability to reach out to a greater number of persons. But they are all somehow right or close or on the verge of the message that is being conveyed. I cannot seem yet to express what is in my mind. I accept all interpretations given thus far.
