Watershed Lyrics From Mikael

[i aint play this]

I was thinking about Burden lyric on my way to uni, and i had an idea about its meanings,i'm not sure about it but i just wanted to share it lol.anyways
It can be about the departure of Lopez and Peter.. "carried a burden inside" = The band..it was his biggest interest maybe? "saw a movement in their eyes that said i no long new the way" this line made me think abt the departure.. "You've taken more than we received" they didn't bring things to the table as much as Mike did...That reminds me of The Division Bell..and how Gilmore talked about the departure of the other memember (sorry dunno his name )
Any other ideas?

To be honest your post makes sense, but I still don't think it's about the departure of any members.

Wow, this really makes me want to buy the album, lyric puzzles sound awesome.

(That misheard lyrics video is hilarious)

^ Hmmm I would bet a lot of money that it's not about them.

EDIT : You should detail more about it. Two or three sentences in a song doesn't confirm what the song is all about.
