All of Everything, Erased Lyrics
Also,
"The earth grew green, and nursed itself to what she used to be. All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory..."
Is a statement that, without humans, the earth can truly flourish, we are the cancer of the world perhaps.
I dunno, that is just my opinion.
great, i've been expecting for this to happen since i can remember..
:)
I might not be giving it enough thought but it sounds like he's talking about his girlfriend having their child
she clutched her belly close and whispered, "keep us safe" they ground her down to dust no more miracles today
i dreamt myself awake in a resort hotel above a golden coast beside my Southern belle we heard the sea reborn in each singing shell
I don't know a lot about his personal life though, so I could be wrong.
no, i don't think this is about kevin getting anyone pregnant.
i feel like this song is what kev sees happening for our society in the near future "she clutched her belly close, she whispered 'keep us safe'" I think is kevin's oppertunity of ever having a family, wife, kids, love, telling him to wake up and remedy his wars with himself and that he needs to keep his head on ('keep us safe') while america goes to shit so that he can one day have that house and picket fence and ya know, the american dream.
"How everyone talks about how we're going to do all this stuff and how we're going to end the world with either nuclear war or with what we're doing with the environment, but we're actually not, we're just going to end us. and the world will be fine, and all the trees will grow back and all the cities will be erased, and we'll be this little blip. and that's very comforting to me... so this song is about that"
a very loosely interpretted quote of a live song from Danbury CT.
PS I love you Cady!
Jes, I love you MORE. WHAT A GREAT SHOW THAT WAS!
anywho, agreed. this song is about how Kevin sees the environment reacting to all the years of damage we've done. rather than fixing things, the human race will one day be extinct, leaving mother nature to take her rightful toll on earth and erase what we've built in order to rebuild what once was.
sparkling song by a smooth voice. i've been listening to this for months. beauty beauty beauty.
It's about the world ending.
At a show he said: "one thing that's very comforting about everything that's going on, about the craziness is everyone talks about how we are going to do all this stuff, we are going to end the world with nuclear war, or with what we're doing to the environment, but its not like that... we are just going to end us and then the world will be fine, and all the green will grow back, and all the cities will be erased and we will just be this little blip, and that's very comforting to me, I mean we just fuck ourselves"
but its not about the world ending
its about humanity ending and the earth flourishing again when we're gone
Song is so good, reminds me of Elliott (RIP <3)
