its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
(G. Anselmo, 2007 ChargeUp'd Inc.)
a message i'm calling my home
and it's much safer now
we're free to talk, still not to fall
i'm ready to show it all
throw on that simple paint
to demanding such sound
we're all moving upon ground
since we've all become aloud
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
for animal acts i've grown immune
you hold me up in light of you
we are aloud to come through!
praise is united, as praise is real
cool air of free thought is all,
all that ever really matters right now
in the very moment
to wear the paint, to believe
we all know it's just another day
demand is the love we conceal
through sunset falls, until we feel
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
for animal acts i've grown immune
you hold me up in light of you
we are aloud to come through!

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
although the placement of this song shifts a lot, as a result of it being the only non album studio track effort, it will likely be included on the "greatest hits forever" compilation following the last of the 5 studio recorded albums.
