"Do not spray into eyes" is the warning label on medical disinfectant. I would assume "I have sprayed you into my eyes" is a metaphor. |

| I Mother Earth – Choke Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
When the album was originally released, there was unconfirmed rumor / speculation that this song may be about the band's previous singer, Edwin. The band would play an important show, and unlike the rest of the band he would for one reason or another not perform to the best of his ability, whether due to lack of skill, preparation, personal impairment, or otherwise. Edwin then left the band, or they split mutually, so that he could pursue a solo career.
"Remember why you're not along" could be a direct comment to their former singer;
"You're passing time alive / And medicated" could be a jab at their lead singer's one "hit" with his solo career, the song "Alive";
"You've run away from something sure" - I Mother Earth's popularity was taking off just before their split.
However, publically IME's members have said nothing discouraging about Edwin in any way, so this will only remain speculation. |

All lyrics are written by the drummer, Chris Tanna, and have been throughout the lifespan of IME. Yes to the rest, though. |

Second verse sounds like "Right past the fireflies that feed in my heart." There is no hard "P" sound to make "speed", and I'm pretty sure the "s" sound is created by the harmonizing vocals. |

Oh I also meant to say, this is the most beautiful song on the album and the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time. |

To me, this song is about being able to get through anything in life as long as you have someone with you, and fellowship with others. A simplicity to life that is beautiful when shared. |
