Seems Uncertain Lyrics
I wish it was forgone
To know the version
That made life go wrong
What rearranged our molecules
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain
Everyone joins a team
No one waves a flag
For all human beings
Unless they are divided
Someone’s going to have to give in
It seems uncertain
One of the faithful millions
But what I see
Is an excuse for the killing
Should be a private thing
How about a spirit
For all human beings
Turn out to be divisive
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain
He's not sure how and why we are here and he can't understand why there are wars over basically nothing. Why does everybody have to be divided? Why draw lines to divide everybody? Why not fly a flag for all human beings instead of individual countries? He's confused about why people act the way they do. If you really think about it he has a valid point.
Another great track off the amazing new Evolver record. I really enjoy Nick questioning religion, in a low-key yet powerful message: "I’d like to be One of the faithful millions But what I see Is an excuse for the killing" Religion is used to control the masses. Find your spirituality within.
beyondthegreysky i agree, its always refreshing to see artists as prominent as 311 question religion in their songs :P
Its crazy how every country has their own flags, thats their team. It is a great divide. And every nation/country/continent/race, or whatever has their own religion. There is only one God and I agree with Nick about it is just one great spirit. That is what the Native Americans beleived too. They were very spiritual. In the Middle East, I think they do use religion as an excuse for killing. Obviously God would not want anyone to kill anyone else. But when 9/11 happened, those hi-jackers thought they were doing it for their God. They are brain-washed. (How could something well guided, Turn out to be divisive)
Why not just beleive in one great GOOD spirit and always do what you think is right. Thats my religion.
NICK IS A BRILLIANT WRITER...A ROCK POET REALLY.
