Fire of Heaven/Altar of Earth

you don't have to have any religious affiliation to associate with what he's essentially trying to say.

he's more or less telling people not to act ungrateful and to embrace what has been given to them; the failure to do so could have some dire consequences

Matisyahu is just so awesome when he sing. His songs all have a awesome meaning to them. When i first heard this song i loved ut over everything! It's so good. And after reading some of the lyric i like it eaven more. I think the song is about appriciate what you have got and maybe an reflextion of his past and his own time with drugs. "Firecrackers ohh and ahh but they never maintain" Maybe what he's trying to say it that, we take drugs as an example, they will make you happy and make it feel good for a moment but that moment will always end. Cause that happiness is not real. This part "One pair of eyes But see two different things One person cries but the other one sings You walk around like everybody owes you something Take what you got, thank G-d for all that life brings The poor man has it all but not content with anything While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a king" is one of my favs. i think that you have to see both sides of things and maybe ones are only showing one side of themselfes. Then it says that you shouldnt be jealous and ask for everything and be egoistic but you should thank people (or god if you are a beliver) for what you've got and appriciate what life will bring to you. Also it says that money cant buy happiness. The ritch man who have all the stuffs have no love and only want more so he'll never be pleased. Therefore his hands are empty, like no happiness and stuff, but he's sitting like a king cause he has a big house and can byw false love like a big tv. The poor man is not content with anything, he own almost nothing but he appriciate what he's got and the love he shares with his loved ones. It's like when we in the west world crys over our hair looking just alittle bad and if we dont get that toy or that computer we want we'll be sad while the people in africa has nothing but a little house and has to work to get their own foob, but still they are happier than us because we are spoiled and they arent. We have to stop living in an overflood and start living in a sharing camunity were we share to everyone. Were we save food 4 those in africa. Just this one song made me think of all of this and now want me to canvert my words into acction. All thanks to matisyahu! This man will make me make a differense! Therefore i love him and his songs!

I love driving to this song. As a matter of fact, I love listening to this whole album when I'm driving. Matisyahu is simply incredible.

there's a whole part missing from the song the 'You should be more humble part'

it's a great song though Matisyahu is amazing

The missing lyrics are:

You should be more subtle You could keep your hustle Keep your laughing Keep your chuckle Flashing muscle brass knuckle Bust your bubble gum pop Take off the muzzle Hate to ruffle feathers Breaking Brother's Struggle through the rubble Concrete jungle Brisk and brustle Slip and shuffle Stumble into trouble Spirit rumble in the temple Mumble nothing You should be more humble In the continental call your bluff Your puffin' smoke is fundamental In this ocean you're a pebble

Thanks for the missing lyrics that part is great!

Amazing Song, one of my faves by matisyahu.

Btw sorry for the long repost :(
