Eddie Vedder – Rise Lyrics 18 years ago
Imo, this was the best song on the "into the wild" soundtrack. It really captured the theme of wanting to pick up, be in solitude, find yourself, and capture that elusive understanding of humanity.

"such is the way of the world"
"find my direction magnetically"

Getting any empirical sense of direction is anoble human persuit.

The Shins – Sleeping Lessons Lyrics 18 years ago
I think ladybug is totally dead on with their interpretation of this song. The nietzsche ref. Is spot on. This is on on deep introspection into who we are as people. The "old guard" is obviously "god", and they are saying after that initial introspection into what god means to the individual finds that god is pt no pot longer on on factor, chop off its head, and get on with living in the real world. Find yourself, and be satisfied with living your deconstructed philosophy. Great song.
