| Yes – We Have Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Agree with @Mongothegreat in that this song needs to be taken in context; this song is not about death, per se. After Roundabout (the epic journey a million miles away) will they ever make it home? They're hopeful, (paraphrasing) 24 hrs, you'll see my love, I'll be there with you. We Have Heaven is a transition to South Side of the Sky, which IS about death. Given the spring-time references and the exalted nature of the music, they think they've made it, or they think they're in heaven. So, to @Modestmouse1115, the door slamming and the footsteps (not running by, but) running off into the distance, is the end of one journey, the start of another. And look where they land - The South Side of the Sky! I think the rest of the album is about whether he's alive or not. Note the reprise of this song at the end of the album, with the door opening back up. Did they make it? |

Lyrics weren't included on the jacket on the original album. Most have it, "Sweet dreams can solve the future". I believe it's "Sweet dream can sow the future". Pretty sure it's not "console". |

| Yes – Run Through the Light Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's about maturing in life & love. In the 1st stanza only getting offered dreams out of all the time spent together. You're running (through [right passed] the light) to the night for comfort. By the 2nd "And every movement made together, 'til every thought was just the same" - that's a nice way to put it ;-) But, now, it actually holds meaning - everything fits together forever harmoniously. You see the light of day. |

Um, it's "all the pieces fit forever in the game". And he's not plowing, it's "'til every thought was just the same" |

| Quite possibly the saddest song, ever | |
| Yes – Everydays Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Take time to stop and smell the coffee (more or less). Just plodding through your day-to-day life causing malaise. Even "Saturday's child", who would otherwise 'work hard for a living', "stays home" |
