Incubus – Wish You Were Here Lyrics 20 years ago
umm, idk. i understood it as, hes finally happy and wishes his girlfriend, close friend, or whatever, could be happy with him: "and in this moment I am happy, happy... I wish you were here" - "i wish you were here", as in, "i wish you were happy with me." maybe the other things, "I dig my toes into the sand", "I lay my head unto the sand", "I'm counting UFO's", etc. are just refrences to the things you go through in life, and since hes happy, he wants the other person to be happy going through life too.. or i could be completely wrong. either way, i love this song, almost as much as i love boyd.

As I Lay Dying – The Pain Of Separation Lyrics 20 years ago
"how can i bear this any longer?"
Jesus received soo much criticism, etc. before he was crucified-that's WHY he was crucified in the first place. during His time, blasphemey (claiming to be God-like or as high as/higher than God) was not only a sin, but a crime; so the people who didnt believe that Jesus really WAS the son of God believed He was being blasphemous, which was worthy of crucification.

"arms stretched out.."
a reference to Jesus' arms stretched out on the cross, dying;

"..only to hold separation. take me away."
when Jesus died, He was automatically separated from us here on earth, or at least in the psychial sense. Jesus was, however, not afraid to die. He died so that WE may live.


"i will fight until the day when i will see
sight given to these blind eyes"
Jesus, as we all know, was able to heal the blind, deaf, dumb; He was also able to cure lepers and people with many other kinds of diseases. this is a reference to having Jesus make him have sight again.
