This song is absolutely amazing! I think it is about Jon contemplating his faith and the meaning of life. He realizes that life isnt always perfect and realizes that there is some reason for this. He acknowledges God's presence in the world we live in today and that he is with us always. Anywhere here is my interpretation of the song by each line/paragraph: Walking along the high tide line Watching the pacific from the side lines Wonder what it means to live together? Wanting more than just guidelines //Wondering what it is like to be in Heaven everlastingly with God. He wants more than just guidelines and wants to know the whole truth and why things are the way they are Looking for signs in the night sky, Wishing that I wasn’t such a nice guy Wonder what it means to live together? Wonder what it means to die? He is contemplating more about it. Lookng for clues in His creation. Maybe he wishes he wasn't such a nice guy so he wouldn't be troubled with the daily stuggles Christians partake? And also because then he wouldn't be so curious and contemplative. He wonders what it is like to be with with God after death. - Chorus - I know that there's a meaning to it all A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, I got my vice verses I got my vice verses He knows there is a meaning to it all because he feels resureccted every time he falls. God is there for you even when you sin, no one is made perfect. "every blessing counts with a set of curses" He admits he has his sins and imperfections which he is admitting them in his verses. "I got my vices, I got my vice verses" The wind could be my new obsession The wind can be my next depression The wind goes anywhere it wants to Wishing that I learned my lesson The ocean sounds like a garage band Coming at me like a drunk man The ocean tells me a thousand stories None of them are lies - Chorus - I know that there's a meaning to it all A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, I got my vice verses I got my vice verses Let the blessed be glad Be all my epitaph With these rising and falling And after all, we're just water And I am just soul With a body of water and bones Water and bones Where is God in the night sky? Where is God in the city light? Where is God in the earthquake? Where is God in the genocide? Where are you in my broken heart? Everything seems to fall apart Everything feels rusted over Tell me that you're there - Chorus - I know that there's a meaning to it all A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, I got my vice verses These are my vice verses These are my vice verses |
