| Jack's Mannequin – Caves Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I spent 3 weeks in a hospital, I should for all intents and purposes be dead. "I'm caught Somewhere in between Alive And living a dream." You can't believe it's happening to you. For me, I just focused on what I had to do and got it done, but it was so unbelievably unreal. It still feels like a dream. "No peace Just clicking machines" there is no sleep, trust me. not anything solid. and what sleep you do get while on morphine isn't wanted. "And she sings My bird dressed in white. And she stings My arm in the night. I lay still" the nurse coming in for shots or to take blood. in my case it was once every four hours for two weeks straight. it really does drain you, especially if they hit a nerve. "And out here I watch the sun circle the earth The marrows collide in rebirth In God's glory praise The spirit calls out from the caves. The walls fell and there I lay Saved." i vividly remember the first time i got to see the sun again. can also be seen as things starting to look up for him. i'm guessing this is where he got a marrow transplant. doesn't he have a sister katie who was the donor? not sure if i have my facts straight. |

i agree with alaskalover on many levels. add some input as to the song's meaning. stop wasting peoples' time. Lately I'm alright And lately I'm not scared I've figured out That what you did to me feels like Floating on air I don't need to know right now All I know is I believe In the very thing that got us here And now I can't leave *something happened whether someone got taken for granted or overlooked or just passed up. looking back it's something that's regretted. and the person's alright and not scared because they're holding on to this thread of hope that's keeping them there wishing and waiting for something to happen again. whatever it was, it's worthwile and worth waiting for but it's been realized a bit too late. Say anything But say what you mean Cause I'm caught in suspension *just say something, anything to keep me going. just be honest. Now I'm wanting this for sure And I'll beg for nothing more *it's all the person wants, nothing more. just this one thing/person. everything would be fine if they were there. I'll plan all day And drive all night You'll love whats in store *It's consuming the person, they just can't get it off their mind, they're playing it out in their head how great things could really be if given the sliver of a chance. I can't seem to stop this now Even if it's not clear I'll take what I can get *just so hopeless they'll hang off of anything. they'll take any little piece they can get and run with it, just so long as it can keep them in suspension. this place where they can pretend it will be all okay in their head. If you want me here Say anything But say what you mean *just say anything open and honest and i'm going to stick around. but don't say something just for the sake of saying it, or because you don't want to hurt the person. When you whisper you want this Your eyes tell the same Picking up speed I can barely breath Cause I'm caught in suspension *i'm guessing there's a hint of honesty in the other person wanting it, but they can't necessarily commit because they may be tied up in something else oh have something holding them back, maybe a hesitation because of what originally happened. but once again that little glimmer of hope just excites them so much and keeps them there wishing, hoping and waiting. It's enough for me to get excited, It's enough for me to feel woah-oh Ooooooo, oooooooo *it's amazing what some little hint of something so small yet so strong can do to someone. |

| good call, dude. i was a fan of the whole getting over a relationship thing, but that definitely does make a lot of sense now that you've mentioned it. it's not just apathy is a cold body though, it's many songs on you come before you that tie into this theme. Loved Ones (Excerpts From Speeches Of How Great You Were, Are, And Will Never Be Again) hits that theme hard on the head. | |
