Zeig Heil Poem Analysis

The song starts of with JOS just after he has ran away from his old town and is now living on the streets--hear the sound of the falling rain--. This song feels as if he is talking to himself and trying to convince himself that running away was the right thing to do. He goes over all the reason he left and why his old town was so bad as if to really insure in himself that what he did was the right thing to do. On the streets he still feels alone and a little outcasted from society but he seems to have more self confidence in his place in the world and he sees happiness ahead of him. There is a small political aspect of it when he says “Zeig heil” but i think that is really just him showing that he has beliefs that are already dead to the world.
