Too Many Clues in this Room

|(x02200) __ |(x00232) __ |__ |__ | The space shuttle ends where the subway begins There's a tear on the face of the moon From dusk until dawn they have searched all day long But there's too many clues in this room At best, it is said, we've been locked deep inside Of an old seaman's chest full of charts Where maps are contained and what's left of his brains When his crew threw his balls to the sharks  All around the looking glass Dancing to a tune Sweeping out the house with a fine-tooth comb  Which history's shown__ Leads to ruin                       In a word, it is said, that at times we must fall But the worst of it all was the lies  We died for the cause just like regular outlaws In the dust of an old lawman's eyes  In times best forgot, there was peace, there was not In her pains Mother Earth came to bloom  Her children were born in the eye of the storm And there's too many clues in this room  |__ |__ |__ |b2,0 a3,2 g3,0 | |e4,2 d4,0 c5,3 |a5,0 ab6,4 f6,1 |_ _ _ | The power that is stored in this no-man's-land of chance Is there someone who knows what they're doin'? The old soldiers say in their own crusty way "We've got too many troops in this room" All around the looking glass Dancing to a tune Sweeping out the house with a fine-tooth comb  Which history's shown__ Leads to ruin                       The space shuttle ends where the subway begins Praise the Lord there's a train leaving soon From dusk until dawn they have searched all day long But there's too many clues in this room  |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |

La chanson évoque une quête de vérité dans un monde rempli d'illusions et d'incertitudes. Elle parle de la recherche de réponses face à des énigmes entourant notre existence, illustrant une lutte contre le mensonge et la désillusion. Les protagonistes semblent enfermés dans une situation complexe, cherchant désespérément des indices mais se heurtant à un trop grand nombre de pistes confuses. Le contexte semble refléter une époque troublée où les souvenirs de paix se mêlent à des tensions latentes. Les références à des événements passés, comme les lendemains douloureux de conflits, montrent une connexion profonde avec l'histoire humaine et notre relation avec la planète. L’image de la Terre mère qui s’épanouit dans la douleur évoque à la fois la souffrance et l'espoir, nous rappelant que malgré les luttes, il y a encore de la beauté à découvrir.
