I love the Symbol album, and especially the track "3 Chains o' Gold", but something always confused me.

I understand the basic storyline, or what I've heard from the movie, but if they're supposed to be in love, what happened in this song?!

The whole thing about "she left me" and "evil girl"? And then her pleading for him to give back the chains?

And lastly, what and why exactly does he mean by "You will go before me" ?

Thank you for your help, this has bugged me for ages.

Anyone? Please?

I can't say for sure, but I interpret the "you will go before me" bit a few ways:

1. He won't let a woman (especially one who has hurt him) get in the way of God.

2. On a more basic level, he won't let his unrequited feelings let him lose sight of himself.

I'm probably way off.

There's propably nothing to understand about it AT ALL.

i think he was just pissed off that he didnt have any cream for his coffee.
his day probably just got worse from there on in.

then he goes and spills the coffee on the sound board
