Let's try this:
Part One: We are introduced to a cosmos where we are forced to experience a brand-new perspective, one that is modern, edgy, and unexpected.. What does Tilt look like? sound like? We explore the possibilities of this world where things are out-of-kilter.
Part Two (through the ballad): It is possible that individuals in this strange world can come together and resolve it into a place of great beauty, passion, and love -- but only momentarily.
Conclusion: Just as we think we can understand this place, it becomes obvious that things here are tilted too far from the norm. Ultimately, "things fall apart, the center cannot hold."
Try thinking of "Tilt" as a piece of abstract or impressionist art or poetry that speaks to each of us in a different way. If you take a great poem and attempt to dissect it by "explaining" the meaning of each line, you ultimately destroy it. It's not meant to be experienced that way, but it is in many ways more meaningful than a "story poem."
