| I Mother Earth – Shortcut To Moncton Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I heard this one explained in concert, it's about life on the road and it can sometimes bring you down and you kind of need to shake it off. It is called Shortcut to Moncton because it was written while they were on tour driving to Moncton. | |

I too first heard this song on Rescue Me and thought it was amazing. I'm going to qualify my interpretation of this song by saying I am not a religious person, but know a lot about religion. I believe this song to be about a conversation between a man (who use to be a follower) and God with regards to his salvation and handing his life over to God again. Verse: I don't think you know how much time I spend As I wait on my own contemplating ends I am torn in the middle of a world that won't let loose I hang here before you, though invisible the noose Man: (Means he's been feeling convicted lately and is considering going back to God but enjoys his life of sin too much, he's torn in the middle.) Verse: I love you if you drink; I love you if you smoke I love you for the words you stuck inside my throat I love you for the sin; and the way you turned away And I'll heal you in the darkness And I'll hold you to the day God:( God is saying he's going to love the man no matter what, and that he will wait until he is ready.) Chorus: All you are now is only just a dream Can you fall down in following me? All you are now is only just a dream Can you fall down in following me? God: (God is saying that the man is his creation and is only real if he is with God, and asks him to fall on his knees and start to follow him.) Verse: And I walk up those steps Where we used to go at night And my fingers trace the stairwell And I am back in time I just need your warmth to lay with me and find Man: (The man is reminded of the times he used to go to church and the comfort he felt and wishes he could feel that warmth again.) Bridge: There are days that I go driving, Dad When the memory gets too strong So I can go on living to the beauty of our song I fall in to your rhythm, your beauty I do fly I rush into your melody, I linger till I die Man: (Dad refers to his the almighty father which is God. He feels like he needs to follow again so he can feel that comfort - he uses words like beauty, rhythm and melody to symbolize the peace of being with God.) Bridge: And I've been here with the pain Since the very first day I've been swearing in my rage "Oh Holy Day!" I sit around, your salvation waits I'm just getting nervous, babe As I anticipate God: (God has been waiting for him since he's been born, quietly yelling trying to get his attention letting him know that his salvation is on the line. Now he's getting nervous because he feels the man getting close to coming back to him. Babe is a reference to the fact we are all God's children and he sees us all as helpless babes.) Let me know what you think. |

| I Mother Earth – Raspberry Lyrics | 20 years ago |

it is a very deep metaphor, I think it's about being gay and the fear that goes along with it of not being accepted...think about it. Raspberry = fruit , fruit = gay. (No offence to homosexuals) "always taken in by peers And friends and the heightened fears Over the years Now I know I'm not like everyone" (he's scared cause he's realizing he's gay) "I can't change What I am" (many gay people would like to change but they feel as though they can't) "There are a lot of choices (men...women???) So many voices ruling me (society) So many of them at once Yelling, "Everything's a mess"...I know" (he feels helpless) this last part is about how society dictates that being str8 is better than being gay...so many voices being society I may be wrong...let me know what you think. |
