Thanks for posting these lyrics, I've been dying to know exactly what she was singing.
To claim brain-shattering profundity for rock music lyrics is probably a fool's project but I'm with aytchohelelwhy: GOOD GOD. What this song evokes to me--and it evokes it so hard it has brought me to joyful tears on more than one occasion--is the painful process whereby we outgrow our most childish notions of morality, some morally innocent (and incorrect) idea of our own innate, untried goodness...this storybook idea that living a good life, being good, is and will continue to be as simple for us as following the straightest line. L. Sadier thought "saints were born saints", that she was worthy of living like a "prince" from childhood, but comes to "look in the dirt" (go through life and experience and contemplation) to reach the awareness that "wisdom is learnt." "Wisdom is learnt" is a gloriously simple idea: it's almost more of a mantra than an idea. But it's an important, consoling, and inspiring notion because it forgives us our missteps. There is no straight line we should've followed, only a constant, "costly" process of "success and failure." Attaining wisdom requires our mistakes as much as our achievements.
I think Sadier is saying this is true for each individual and their life's path, and true in a bigger, macro way, regarding the development of what is good or worthy of surviving about civilization, mankind, etc.
So yeah basically this is the heaviest and most brilliant song ever written.
This is the heaviest and most brilliant song ever and i too will cry when i hear it every now and then this song brightens my day when ever i hear it just all the wisdom that is shared within the lyrics I tend to write
"wisdom is learnt
through a costly process
of success and failure"
In random places that people tend to look like on my employee cup, school folder, and on my brake up tray simply because i feel it is a fact that everyone needs to consider when going through their daily lives and in any siduation...
