Sorry Lyrics
I agree that there is definitely a spiritual aspect, but I had thought of this great song more as a break-up song. The singer's girlfriend was never that good to him, and he has realized that it is alright to move on. He has been wasting time in a life that has not been fulfilling, and was blind believing that everything was alright. He opens up his eyes and sees that it's his time to move on. He says goodbye, and then focuses on seizing the day, which is what all of the "today" metaphors are about.
My interpretation of this song, is that it's about a boy. He was with a girl, or possibly a friend, who would treat him badly, and drag him down, but he's realized he's better than this, and deserves better, so he "opens up his eyes" and says "goodbye".
When Raine sings; "I'm sorry, I can't lie I'm wasting too much time, Drowning, I've been blind"
It puts me under the impression that he would lie to whomever, prior to his realization, and he would go along with what they said, in fear of losing a friend, or lover. When he states he's been wasting too much time, it's him coming to the realization that this relationship is a waste of his time, and will only male him worse, rather than better. In saying he was drowning, Raine is basically saying the relationship was drowning him. This is my impression of it, at least.
Which cd is this song from??
Gravity.
OLP seems to have to have one of these sort of songs in every CD. They have Hope in Naveed, 4am and Automatic Flowers and Clumsy in Clumsy, Annie and Happiness in Happiness, and Are You Sad and Life in Spiritual.
This song is from their (latest cd?) GRAVITY. Look hard and you'll find it. It is a really great song. Somewhere Out There is also on this CD i believe. Im gonna pick it up soon. It's probably one of their best albums. ~The -BarCodeSoldier-
"These sort of songs" -- Meaning what?
I absolutely love this song. I love the "oh what a day, what day, oh my god" part.
I think this is one of the best songs on the album. To me the only song that beat it out was "A Story About A Girl"(the best song on Gravity)
I really love Sell my Soul and Not Enough on the album as well but this is one of the best. hell every song on an OLP Album is one of the best
HOW TRUE HOW TRUE!!!!
This is a fabulous song for sure. I think its just seizing the day. Pretty evident. Cleansing yourself of the things that are normal but not beneficial. Get rid of the things that are bad for you, but you never take the time to think about and get rid of. Great song, and great cd
