I first heard this song today because I was looking for mandolin material out of the norm. I was pleasantly surprised!(youtube acoustic mandolin collab with chris 1999876 cover Toxicity)I have, with much interest & fasination, enjoyed the many different meanings submitted. Thanks for all who took the time! Let's think about this. What if the song really is, in general, about mankind's quest to make things more perfect, always reaching for the best? 1st line; mankinds thirst for better technology, better organization & control 2nd line; Am I mistaken? Many seem to think this is talking about a "tire" hub the lyrics say a "tired" hub, which would mean an exausted center of greater activity or interest! = we have lost the REAL meaning of life. 3rd line; seeds; the seed is the word of God. Luke8:11. Have religions, as a whole, been passivly or inactivly applying the direction mankind was given for life, because it has become mundane? Or have the historical mistakes, being the "seed" we have sown, not been learned from, only to be repeated over & over again.....TOXIC Sacred silence;lack of religous direction Sleep; death or an unconscience state of mind Disorder; lack of cival guidance More wood;whatever it takes to stay comfortable Loud neighbors; lack of respect for fellow mankind Flashlight;impulsive, only shines so far, temporary Reveries; dreams... only to be brought down by the unavoidable(headlights of a truck) Last verse;Jesus, who had to simplifly life back in the day, by summing the law of life up in two commandments. You must love God(a higher source)& you must love your neighbor, on these two commandments the WHOLE law hangs. Matt 22:34-40. But we, mankind, didn't listen. Thus, the solution to disorder has been given to us all along. What do you think? |

I first heard this song today because i was looking for acoustic mandolin material out of the norm. I was pleasantly surprised! (youtube acoustic mandolin collab W chris 1999876) I have, with interest & facination enjoyed the many different meanings submitted. Thanks for all who took the time! Lets think about this. Maybe the song in general IS talking about mankind's pursuit of highest technology, or the best of everything, but how, actualy, we're worse off now than ever. 1st line=thirst for higher tech, better ways to control & organize 2nd line=(am I mistaken? everyone seems to think this is talking about a "tire" hub, the lyrics say "tired" hub, which would mean an exausted center of great activity or interest! thus=we have lost interest in the REAL meaning of life. 3rd line=seeds;Luke 8:11 "The seed is the word of God" are religions passivly or inactivly applying this message? are the historical mistakes & advances in mankind's history,being the "seeds" we've sown, not been taken seriously. Poison! Man has, and probably will always (until intervened by a higher source)try to own the world. What has been accomplished is DISORDER. Man can not own the world without disorder. Sacred=Holy,Sleep=Death, somewhere in between,disorder, confusion, lack of civic guidance. More wood=material gains. Loud neighbors=lack of respect for fellow man. Flashlight reveries=a flashlight is impulsive & only shines so far. Reveries are dreams...only to be brought down by the inevitable when lit with a flashlight that can only see so far! Last verse= of course Jesus, who simplified all this with two laws:You must love God(a higher source)and you must love your neighbor, on these two commandments the whole law hangs....(thus, the solution to disorder) Well, what do YOU think? |
