| Isis – Low Tide Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Also, i think he says "still cursed by one unending vision" not "cursed the one." I also don't really hear him say "alone and dead." It sounds more to me like he's saying "alone, undone" again. I always heard the final line as "alone, under." (But that could just be that I was hoping that this song was at least somewhat an extension of Oceanic in which love was liquid, and being taken under is the most sublime of possibilities. The title "Low Tide" contributed to this aquatic notion.) I don't know give it a listen. but the would gave these always gave the song a completely different feel and meaning for me. |

| Isis – So Did We Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I'd pretty much agree with the sentiments established above... To me this song is a entrance to the album. We entered a beautiful world of skies and caves. Since then we have reduced the world, and overselves, to something less than it should be. Something is out of place, missing, evident in the accents on "our bones exposed." But, after outlining the situation, hope is given in the capacity within ourselves to resist this reduction of life. Given the times we live in I can't think of any more reassuring statements than this song. | |
| Isis – Garden of Light Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I wen tot see Isis play in Philly on friday, tenth anniversary tour and all... Anyway I picked up this sick shirt at the show that happens to have the lyrics printed on the back. Really the only way that differed from this is that it is written as "untarnished flesh". Listening to it again I really think untarnished flesh might be more accurate. Also, the long sharp "Tar" sound makes more rhythmic sense over the weaker "fin" Sick song regardless. | |
| Isis – 1000 Shards Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
JI hate to say that any of the lyrics on this alblum are any one thing... but i think he may be saying: How can they sit on woe or peril... Also, i believe that the last stanza may more closely resemble: And so the truth, It burns so bright. Now its written, 1000 Shards. |
