you forgot to include the text he wrote
A lyric I wrote best describes for me what is going on here:
Son of a son of a son of a farmer.
I've watched the clock come to dominate my life
and each morning, like Jonah, I climb into the whale.
Its power transforms me for better or worse.
--Scott Mutter, Surrational Images
i think this image is more personal than the other ones..
his reference of the story of jonah and the whale represents the whole idea of being engulfed by a surrounding that ur helpless to do anything about..
in the story of jonah he's stuck in the whale for a while? im not sure.. but the train represents the shere size and brute of the whale and its shere determination to take you wherever it goes.. it determines who you are for that temorary moment you are in the whale.. you becomes its helpless passenger and delivers you to your destination ..
i think the farmer reference is pretty direct.. farmers live by time.. life is the same.. they lead their lives according to the earth and weather .. disregarding their own preference they obey the land.. that is their life.. train represents the daily routines of the farmers lives .. doesnt matter who you are.. farmers routines are all the same. so therefore.. same four men... OR the train represents being trapped in a world of confinement.. it's man vs nature.. but of course.. theres nothing natural about a train.. i guess thats what metaphors are all about ..
i could be bsing tho.. it could be four midgets waiting to get on the train
