| Collective Soul – Needs Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| To me, this is about the inner struggle that you deal with at that point in your life you have to question things. The fact that nearly all of collective soul's songs are laced with religious or spiritual references, leads me to believe that essentially, what this song is about is someone who has been focusing on all of their needs, but is missing that one spiritual need. "All the hope that I invest" ie that there is something more out there "turns to signals of distress" ie the knowledge that there may not be. As you age, you begin to question everything, and frankly, at least in my case, things begin to not make sense. "I find conveinience in this savior I save" He is holding on to a belief because it is convienient, and easier to hold on to than admit the other possibilities. I know that my little blurb is not so eloquent, but I believe that the song is about meeting his general and everyday needs, but lacking strong spiritual beliefs. I absolutely agree with the double negative statement. "I don't need nobody". Oh, but he does, and I doubt he's talking about a girl. B.- | |
