| Dave Matthews Band – Grey Street (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics
| 19 years ago

To me this song is all about a girl (or Dave himself) suffering from depression and thinking about suicide- and she's had it up to here with everything. She's so deep into it, she's in her own little world, by herself, she's empty and would give anything to feel whole again. She shuts herself off from her friends, family, etc. She's so sick of being on this earth she just wants it to end. Nothing can make her happy anymore because she is so deep into depression. Although she's alive (although there's red blood bleeding inside her, she feels like cold blue ice in her heart.) Meaning, even though she's alive, she feels dead. She prays that someone will help her, prays god will help her-but no one listens. She can't take it all on her own anymore. Maybe if she attempts suicide, maybe someone will realize how much pain and loneliness she is in.
All the colors (positive things) in the world mix to Gray.
My favorite line "she feels like kicking out the windows, and setting fire to this life"-she is so mad about feeling this way she wants to kick out all the windows (maybe so she can finally breathe) and setting fire to this life-she hates who she has become and wants to end it and start over. She's done, or wants to be done with life. Although she doesn't necessarily WANT to die, she wants someone to help her be happy.
This song hit me like a ton of bricks when I first heard it, because I was so where she is in this song. I was done with this life and just wanted it to be over so I could finally breathe and be happy. |

Kind of like when you listen to one of their songs and you hear something different than what you thought you heard before, even though you've listened to that same song 1,000 times! love it! Then a totally different meaning of what you thought, hits you like a ton of bricks. |

I like "You'll weep or, change the chosen into gold" sounds better than weaker shades of Indigo which I could never wrap my head around what that meant.... |

This is another obvious song, about heaven and earth. It's about the Arc Angels in heaven looking down on us and shaking theirs heads at what we have become. They see us as Monkeys, (which we deem lesser beings than humans, therefore, we are lesser beings than them). They are disgusted that we are so loved by God that he gave us everything to use to our benefit and live in love, and we have managed to destroy earth and fight like spoiled children or animals who don't value life-not our own or anyone elses. Thinking we are so superior, that we can act like this, and still thinking we are going to heaven to be rewarded. |

Do you really think that Maynerd is THAT simple of a songwriter where he would write songs all about POT? Seriously....he's not talking about POT he's talking about the saying "the Pot calling the Kettle black" whoever he is referring to is who he is calling the Pot meaning pointing fingers at other people besides yourself, which could be directed towards President Bush, or maybe the Mayor Nagin and the Chocolate Factory, who instead of taking the blame for what he FAILD to do, pointed fingers at everyone else when Katrina struck ("Eyeballs deep in Muddy water-Fucking hypocrite"). He or Bush is very obvious about hanging the Guilty with the innocent. If you know Tool at all, they write about the dark side of Religion/Politics/life that no one else wants to hear or talk about. it's what everyone wishes they were brave enough to stand up to but are too afraid to say. That is what Tool is about-the dark side. |
