311 – Amber Lyrics 16 years ago
Alright let me start by saying everyone has their own ideas about this song, and thats straight. So lets chill and open our minds. Personally I see this song as a love/life song, as thats how it applys to my life.

"Brainstorm
take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
and it goes like"

Here he's simply saying I can't believe how amazing things are it unbelievable, I need to tell you.

"Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
you ought to know what brings me here
you glide through my head blind to fear
and I know why
whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally"

Here I would say he is saying.. your such a warm person.. and generally if your warm your more likely to have an open mind.. and the reason he's pulled towards her is because her warmth causes her to have no fear.

"You live too far away
your voice rings like a bell anyway
don't give up your independence
unless it feels so right
nothing good comes easily
sometimes you gotta fight"

This is fairly self explanitory. It's just his way of saying you've become a big part of me, but you need to do you if thats what you want.. but this is amazing so I'm willing to fight to keep it.

"Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
still it's fine from afar, and you know that
whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
whoa, I got to tell you something"

This verse is where I become conflicted.. when he's saying "launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy" I'm not sure if he's saying you've send my heart in a thousand directions or if he means she's given him so much love... but either way he's fine with that because everything is still amazing and he just had to put it out there.


This is just how I view the song. I have a lot of great memmories I think of when I listen to it.. Actually yesterday I was supposed to go see 311 at a show called Earthday Birthday, but shit didn't work out so my ex called me during this song.. because its our song and my life song too. Yes I am a chick but this isn't the only 311 song I like no worries.

Dredg – Not That Simple Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't think this song just refers to a parent child relationship. I think this song is just to reasure that no worries I'll be there. That we'll have each other, just run to me... which could be between a couple, bestfriends, or family. This is a really beautiful song as are most Dredg songs.
