Gravity

I think its about kittens.

I think the song is about a guy making the decision to get sober and the struggles he takes trying to heal the wounds of his addiction. The references to him as a child not able to stand or do much of anything is what people in rehab go through with withdrawls and such. Or this could be the exact opposite, its a man saying he wants to keep going but its too late and he fucked up so now he has to venture into the "unknown". I prefer the first idea, a bit more uplifting.

this song is about how he is only alive whenever under the influence of his addiction (drugs or not)

i will not go quietly into the night no matter how bad i want to crawl into into it. i want the world to hear it when i pop. i will find wat i need to do n die for eventually. we all want a just cause, a reason , a justice to b a part of, its hard when its all so gd confusing, its ez to grab the nurse. mb i m just too fuckd up to even b allowd access tp this forum idk. but i do get it. get it real good

Lost again Broken and weary Unable to find my way Tail in hand Dizzy and clearly unable to Just let this go

• Here he explains how he's lost and "unable to find his way" without the drugs and how he can't let go of them.

I fell again Like a baby unable to stand on my own

• In this verse Maynard reveals how the person in this song has been taken by the drugs again. He was as weak as a new born baby.

Calm these hands before they Snare another pill and Drive another nail down another Needy hole please release me

i think it's about someone who wants to stop the vice that is ending their life. They have developed a dependence for the drug and just wishes they can calm themself before they drug themselves again.

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live, I choose to live

Here, he decided to remain sober and let gravity do what it pleases with him. By quitting he "chooses to live".

Like so many songs on this album, this deals with addiction and recovery. The singer is "high" abnormally (i.e. by use of drugs) and finally decides to give up. They surrender their "high" to gravity (natural forces, the natural state of emotion), which pulls them down (they come down from their high). Now, the singer asks someone to "help me survive the bottom" i.e. get through the most horrible part of withdrawl. He needs them so he won't "snare another pill" i.e. relapse. In the end, he hopes to lifted "back up to the sun", meaning he hopes to feel euphoric again, but not by chemicals, not the abnormal "high".

Pure Beauty...

to me this song is about glory/victory/etc. like with my tail in hand when im dizzy and weary ill still find my way because i CHOOSE to live and i will be lifted unto the sun. i was in a real bad car wreck and almost died and this song pretty much made me not give up tryin.... so it means alot to me...

You fools...this is the best APC songs, makes me cry everytime. This song you can hear his pain...of trying so hard to quit...and he is begging gravity to save him...take him someplace wonderful...because he wants to live...

i have seen a video of this song which is directed by "jake wiltse". is that an official video?
