A song about how life always repeats itself, in a symbolic way. We follow the same formula of living a "good life" chasing the same accomplishments, if they're not replaced with something new, as the fathers before us. This is why the song has the same melody with variations throughout. At the end of our lives, only the shade of it remains. A darkened body without details, like the endig, chord progressions sharing the same shapes as the melodies, but without any details.
