I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting inner light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control
you Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control
I think this song is about connecting with our higher selves or god in effort to free ourselves from the ego and material/physical pains of this life... to find peace in knowing there is more than just this life... and if we try to free our minds and see our lives thru the eyes god would see us... then we may feel comfort and that peace... this is very hard to do and yes you need to be able to meditate, but it does help free you from stress and other burdens you may be going through... or you could just get stoned... lol
Wow I honestly can't believe no one has commented on this song yet ... probably one of the most moving and spiritual pieces of music i have heard a band play in ... forever. excellent song
I heard is has something to do with the drummer from Rush.
Actually king nothing, youre right. Its a song sully wrote after reading "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart (drummer for Rush). Neil's wife and daughter were both killed within about a year of each other and neil takes his motorcycle out on the road to vent and kinda get away. Its an excellent book by the way.
I personally believe in my heart of hearts that this tune about Sully's lack of bladder control. Can't anyone hear his cry for help? "I need Serenity...nothing changes, days go by!" When he says, "Where do we go when we just don't know...", it means the poor guy just pissed his pants! That's the most obvious meaning I could come up with. Does anybody disagree with me?
:)
OpinionHead, dont get me wrong, but there are no words that will describe how much i disagree with you, and i just dont understand why you would think something like that. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so... enjoy that theory.
Finally!!! Somebody fell for the joke. I was waiting for this too happen. I work in a stuffy receiving area and one of the only saving graces is the fact that the rest of my co-workers are musicheads. One guy is a huge Godsmack fan and I heard the song Serenity. I saw the box of pads and I came up with the "true meaning" of the song. He didn't think the joke was funny as I am sure you did, Phoenix. The smiley face at the bottom should have given the joke away. I really like this and it is very deep but is it sacreligious to come up with a funny and retarded meaning for it?
hehehe nice OpinionHead
Ha!!! I laughed my ass off when I read your interpretation OpinonHead. I can't believe I never saw that in the song before. I'm also surprised there are such few comments on this song. Its such a great song, being on of my favorites.
good song to have in the background while meditating, lol... i think the whole "bladder-control" joke thing was kind of stupid... i guess i just don't like potty humor. i like the line "Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing?" its a good question
