O Children Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
|

RS9274 discusses the meanings of O Children lyrics: I saw a recording of a live performance in Lyon (Les Nuits de Live in Lyon, from 6th or 7th of June 2022.
At the start, Nick says: “This song is for the children, which is basically you.”, gesturing at the audience.
So, I think children is referring to every one. People make a mess of life and then pass on.
The reference to gulag could serve as a symbol of life in general, passing the key to the next generation.
The lost and found answer could refer to the meaning of life.
The fun while being on the train, which has not even left the station, sounds like a pathetic attempt to see a meaning, where there is none.
However the last couplet does not quite fit in, as you cannot escape death.
