Understanding the lyrics and Van Gogh's Life.{H/T Princeline}

Expressing Van Gogh's inspiration for the painting. However, one line says :
"Look out on a summer's day."
which is a false statement as Van Gogh was in an asylum at Saint-Remy, and was not able to paint picture from an actual view point, it is strictly from his mind.These are references to other Van Gogh paintings.
· Flaming Flowers: The Sunflower Series
· Swirling Clouds: Starry Night
· Field of Amber Grain: Wheat Field with Crows
· Weathered Faces: The Potato Eaters
 This is Van Gogh's tragic Death. Even though he loved painting, his paintings could never love him back.
Van Gogh attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest, which ultimately led to his death two days later.
Van Gogh's artistic legacy is contained within his paintings, drawings and writings. They are everlasting and will never "forget" the style that created them. They are Van Gogh's eyes that watch the world. This is all metaphorically speaking though.
Finally we come to the conclusion of realizing Van Gogh's eternal struggle with insanity.
