| Phish – Pebbles And Marbles Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is about a love that the singer has lost. Though it starts off sad and wistful.. dreaming romantically about the light that used to collect in her eyes, he goes on to realize that it simply wasn't meant to be. Though she was unique and wonderful, there are some things in life that aren't yours. The song picks up and gets more joyful, when the singer finally completes his comparison of her to a "pebble and/or marble" -- something small and beautiful in the vast ocean of sand and dust. We all wishfully believe that these things were put on this earth for us to have, but the truth of the matter is we are all part of a grander design - beauty we find (whether in nature or another person) was put on this earth for a different reason that may not involve you at all. |
