Trina Magna Lyrics
Was taught to lead
I was fed well
On what had come before
Everyone
Who had ever lived
Left a lesson
Regarding what's in store
Were just like you and me
Guessing their asses off
Oh yes, they tried to guess well
I hope we're forgiven
Chalk it up to knowledge and change
And life itself
Shall learn to follow
I'll feed the leaders
With everything I can
They'll
Bring revolutions
That try as I may
I just won't understand
Will be just like you and me
Pretending they're not guessing
As if we couldn't tell
I hope we can forgive them
Chalk it up to knowledge and change
And life itself
The passing from hand to hand of our pride and despair
Both parent and child cry apathy but everybody cares
And then we vanish in thin air
And only time is there
Time and a legacy...
A story that's only just begun
Blind passed the goddamn horizon
Sees more than father less than son
Life and death merely pretending
We're part of the infinite ending
Are gonna teach and learn
We're gonna get fed well
And then we shall feed
We
We are ancient
We are brand spanking new
In proving our traditions
On the brink of heaven and hell
And then we're forgiven
And we call it knowledge and change
And life itself
And we call it knowledge and change
And life itself
And we call it knowledge and change
This is a great song. If it's overly ambitious and innocent, you still have to forgive it :) for trying so hard. The first two verses are incredible then the bridge is lyrically cool but musically weak imo(common to a lot of BT songs imo...which The Hook sorta makes fun o ) but then it builds to the epic finish.
Chalk it up to knowledge and change...and life itself
"Trina Magna" = Latin for "The big three", which I am assuming to be the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Alluding to the faiths that may be just a little mis-guided has managed to convince most of the planet... Like the lemmings we are
Based on the refrain in the lyrics, the big three are surely "knowledge, change, and life itself". :) I think the song is pretty secular e.g. "Both parent and child cry apathy but everybody cares And then we vanish in thin air" and "merely pretending We're part of the infinite ending"

An update on my previous post. My understanding of this song is that it is definitely about life's journey, based on teachings from others, and us passing on our experiences onto the next generation.. All for the good of whatever higher power we believe in.
Seems to me to be a slightly tongue in cheek jab at how we follow religions..
Great tune
Trina magna = the big three in latin, yes
what about the last verse- Knowledge, change, life itself.
i think those are the big three =]
