hell yeah man, why doesn't anyone realize how awesome SDRE is???? The only person i know who loves em more than i do is my best friend. he introduced me to them about three years ago, and i've been hooked ever since!!

This is the best song on the Rising Tide, by far. I don't know why, but I always am hit with a wave of nostaligia when I listen to this song.

This song is so brilliant. I think it is mostly about how we take so much for granted, even the bad things in life...how we need to see the big picture. Regardless, its an awesome song.

I think this song is definitely about drugs. Wasting our lives (novicane)...novicane numbs you, like drugs. The pain would help you rise and overcome and become better or wiser, but "here we stay" because we dont even try to overcome, we just get high. Drug use is like "running from our lives" a clever game. "selling our time" is time wasted getting wasted, plus you could be making your life shorter. I dunno thats what i get out of it.

I also think it could be about Chritianity. I heard that Jememy ''found jesus" before this albumb, so everything i said about getting high might me about being agnostic ( not believing in God )

I'm just wondering what "Novacaine" means... I looked it up and it came up with a Japanese pop band.

should say novocaine not novacaine

such an uplifting song

Amazing.

I HAD to comment here. It is not often that I listen to a song for the first time and I find myself in shivers and tears by the end. This band is absolutely incredible... i found out about them recently... but this song is just, incredible. The last part of the song, the last chorus nails it in. I am an atheist, but this song connects so deeply, and so beautifully. It is pure transcendence, something I aim for in my music. Everything and everyone, and in the end we are all one.
