| Dave Matthews Band – Grace Is Gone Lyrics

I do believe that this song is about the woman he asked to marry him three times and she denied him all three times. I also think that her name was Grace. Look at how many songs mention hte name Grace....its more than just a coincidence. And in all of them he talks about her being gone. I think that when he says "your cold hand lay in mine" that it is a reference to her heart because she isn't cold towards him in love terms. |

| Dave Matthews Band – Digging a Ditch Lyrics

This song is about killing yourself. I think some of you have overanalyzed this song. I mean its write there. He's ready to dig his own ditch when the madness gice and when sadness gives. "Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will rise" in this line he is basically saying that once he is dead everything that disappoints him will rise along with his sould become non-existent. He dreams about killing himself and he does so he is cutting off the rest of the world "unplug your TV turn off the phone". Thats just my opinion. This is a very sad song. It gives me chills

| Dave Matthews Band – Big Eyed Fish Lyrics

All of the songs on Lillywhite are depressing, which is why it was never released. The Busted versions are much brighter. My opinion on this song is that it is about being a big dreamer and learning that you may fail. This is like a huge reality check for me because I have huge dreams and I am one of those people who wants to be a bird swooping and diving through the breeze. I look 5 steps ahead instead of one and that is what this song is about. The man, the monkey, and the fish all wanted to be something that they are not because they believed that things were better on the other side and in reality they aren't always but in their case it is because they died and moved on the that happier place which there is no way out of. Dave was indeed depressed when he wrote this song as he was for all of the songs in Lillywhite....but that is what makes the lyrics so beautiful. |
