| Actually, the Term "The Writing's On The Wall" refers to something that is blatantly obvious. (In other words that its impossible to miss, because its staring you in the face) I think that the song may be about alcoholism, such as the like "When at best, you try to walk a straight line." Or when he says "Something More for Less, and in the meantime" the something more could be respect and your life, just for a bit of happiness while you're drunk. | |
