| Man it was a long time that I read an article in Guitar World (or similar, not RS) but I don't think he mentioned who he was referring to other than a "friend of [his]". Sorry, I'm no more help. | |

To me this is about a relationship but I don't think it has to necessarily be romantic. Nothing's so loud As hearing when we lie (Saying that the resounding gong in the relationship is lies, half truths and not being honest in general, even at the cost of hurting one another) The truth is not kind And you've said neither am I (When we finally tell the truth, instead of hearing the heart, you only hear the words - being defensive and not receptive) But the air outside so soft is saying everything Everything (There was a moment where we seemed to be right at the cusp of being at a place where we could have something more and we could say what we wanted and felt. As if the stars had aligned themselves perfectly....but unfortunately, not so) All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same (That's all I've ever wanted, to have this deeper friendship, feel that I could be loved and love more than with anybody else) All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say... (I wanted it so badly, that burning memory of what I thought we were so close to actually having) Nothing's so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn't be that brave I know (It's hasn't just been your fault, but mine also. You say something that I misinterpret and take personal, as do you. It cuts us and we're defensive with our hearts and we draw them within us to hide and protect them. Meanwhile both of our hearts are begging to be free and let go and forgive and be merciful to one another but our pride stands in the doorway of vulnerability) And the air outside so soft, confessing everything Everything (I find it interesting that the lyric changes from saying, to confessing - that there was this moment in time where we were brutally honest. We admitted our wrongs and for a moment felt empathy for each other and didn't hold the wrongs so harshly but felt mercy for one another) And it won't matter now Whatever happens will be (The real truth is that unfortunately we've tried so hard and keep running into the same walls. Whatever we do to change, for some reason it just doesn't work for us.) Though the air speaks of all we'll never be It won't trouble me (Even though the memory of that moment in time is haunting, because it can't happen for us, I won't let it haunt me...but I know that's only wishful thinking) And it feels so close (All I want is to feel this way) Let it take me in (To be this close, to feel this way) Let it hold me so (All I want is to feel this way, The evening speaks) I can feel it say... (To me the way this part is sung is telling that what's in parenthesis is the memory and what is sung lead is the present tense. That it still feels so close. Perhaps it's been years since this relationship and the sad thing is that as they are no closer now as they were then. Begging for the feeling and acceptance to take him/her in. Let it hold me and nurture and reciprocate the feeling and desire that I wanted to know, show and receive all along. But alas, it's only a memory of something that never could happen) |

| The song is in reference to two of Perry Farrell's friends that died. Everbody has their own opinion is talking about how people have their own opinion of death and the death surrounding his friends' death. "Cash in" is talking about "cashing in their chips". | |
