Incarnation Blues Lyrics
(introduction to "Incarnation Blues")
this one's for the puffers and the scribblers in the lot
save for whom the rose that blooms would be the flower time forgot
and the holy hell [they caught]
---------
knew we'd never stand a chance
we were slave to circumstance
maybe we'd have seen it through
if you were me and i was you
out of mind and body too
got the incarnation blues
know we'll never meet again
but in this life, you were a friend
so i'll hold out for the next
won't be so sorrowed, cursed and vexed
out of mind and body too
got the incarnation blues
cause time moves slowly
when you're alone with no way to be loved
save for whom the rose that blooms would be the flower time forgot
and the holy hell [they caught]
we were slave to circumstance
maybe we'd have seen it through
if you were me and i was you
out of mind and body too
got the incarnation blues
but in this life, you were a friend
so i'll hold out for the next
won't be so sorrowed, cursed and vexed
out of mind and body too
got the incarnation blues
cause time moves slowly
when you're alone with no way to be loved

The song seems to be built around a guy and a girl who could not make it work between them because of unfortunate circumstances. I think the song's really about the period after the breakup where you're getting over your love, still not quite ready to move on and start another relationship "cause time moves slowly/when you're alone with no way to be loved"
To me this song implies that the guy or girl wished they could start over and do the relationship right. That "Maybe In An Alternate Dimension" aka re-incarnation, he could have or possibly will make things right.
anyone notice how the guitar solo in this song is the same as the one in orion by yes dear?
