Call me
The sign
Rise and shine
Strange promenade with
Eyes closed
I thought I'd write the book of
Climbing
I'm trying
Alone
While my eyes
I now you're coming back
I can climb without you
I spoke bad poetry
The wrong way, you said
Lay down in my hands
Where promises will never break
But I've lived through
Lay down my life's broken
My lips feel
Incomplete without love
So I go on
And set my life before you
Oh
I'm lost in you
Open my eyes
You set me free
Won't lift me up
You held me
I'm lost in you
You're Jesus
The sign
Rise and shine
Strange promenade with
Eyes closed
I thought I'd write the book of
Climbing
I'm trying
Alone
While my eyes
I now you're coming back
I can climb without you
I spoke bad poetry
The wrong way, you said
Lay down in my hands
Where promises will never break
But I've lived through
Lay down my life's broken
My lips feel
Incomplete without love
So I go on
And set my life before you
Oh
I'm lost in you
Open my eyes
You set me free
Won't lift me up
You held me
I'm lost in you
You're Jesus

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
damnit, why must jesus ruin the song.. ._.
I made this account just to say that you are retarded. Stop being so close-minded. Christians listen to non-Christian music w/o a problem. Why you gotta be a retard? If it was about Buddah it wouldn't be as bad as it being Jesus, right? Ignorant.
i am not sure if this is about Jeremy's christianity or about a girl...there are passages in it that could go either way, like i can climb without you seems more like a girl, but who knows...maybe it's about a girl and religion and how he feels the same about both
"you're jesus" the song is very plainly laid out to be about his faith, but i guess you're unknowingly right, the love for jesus is very much like love for a girl in some ways
First of all, the title refers to the song's time signature (5/4). This is typical of SDRE's lax song titling. This song is fantastic in its use of timing - any musicians will know how hard it is to keep up a 5/4 for any length of time.
The last line of this song suggests to me that its not about jesus - if it was, why would he clumsily state 'you're jesus'? Clearly he is calling somebody else jesus. Obv Jeremy is a Christian so he is seeing christ in somebody, in that wierd wooly sort of way that new-age Christians like him do, seeing christ 'everywhere' :S
I do wish that SDRE were less god/christianity-focussed - think of the fascinating insights Jeremy's clearly poetic mind might hold apart from 'oh isnt jesus wonderful'... I actually think he makes the lyrics up either on the spot or just before - the lyrics are usually fairly garbled and nonsensical. I no longer bother trying to interpret them as I don't think they are written carefully as poetic pieces, even if the tone is poetic - the content isn't.
FANTASTIC band though, with great instrumentation, vocal style and a great song altogether.
Oh also - the song uses syncopation* to make the already confusing time signature even more difficult to follow! Artistic or artless? At any rate, an incredible show of skill from the band - this is NOT easy to do!
I'd venture a guess this took an awful lot of practice before being ready to record...
this song is def about jesus and jeremy finding him. some of these lyrics on here are wrong too. i asked jeremy and he told me what this song means. he did make up some parts on the of the song on the spot. but he gave me the right lyrics to the song. and when i asked him why he didnt tell people the right lyrics. he said he thinks its funny/cool that people are making up what they think or hear.
I just love how they made it so that the last line demands you'll read again the lyrics. Obviously "Rise and shine" is refering to "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." from the bible. I also agree with @funkadelic101 comment, and I don't wanna repeat it so just make sure you read it =)
Still, notice that there are some structure, sometimes:
I'm lost in you [ elaborations ... ] I'm lost in you You're Jesus
this song is absolutely beautiful. if i ever meet a guy named Jesus -- this is going to be our song ;-)
