What did I have to lose?
Be negative
I fled through the snow
Then never sat down
It's clear for today
You're sleazy at night
As soon as we hear we will run
Or start swinging
Start swinging
For below
They're begging for it
I want my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there
This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over heed
Luck must fight over me
And never give in
To weed out the soul
Replace it with salt
I live, weep, and sigh
In this bed of cement
How perfectly shadowed this circus
I start swinging
We start swinging
'Cause this might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so
Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Wonder more
For grabbing hold
Below
They're begging for it
I want my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there
This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so
Clear
Be negative
I fled through the snow
Then never sat down
It's clear for today
You're sleazy at night
As soon as we hear we will run
Or start swinging
Start swinging
For below
They're begging for it
I want my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there
This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over heed
Luck must fight over me
And never give in
To weed out the soul
Replace it with salt
I live, weep, and sigh
In this bed of cement
How perfectly shadowed this circus
I start swinging
We start swinging
'Cause this might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so
Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Wonder more
For grabbing hold
Below
They're begging for it
I want my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there
This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so
Clear

I think this song is about looking for something better and the perseverence it takes.
It is "I live within sight of this Medicine Man, how perfectly sure of This Circus" Pete is a much better lyricist than I live weep and sigh in this bed of cement.
But after hearing it more and more,
I think it might actually say, "This might just feed the mother of all our needs"
But I'm really not sure.
Great job though.
The great thing is, we will find out in 2 days!
This song is amazing, I can't wait for the new album.
Other than that, great job!
My 3rd favorite off Sci-Fi Crimes
The song appears to be about a performers experience of feeding off the energy from an audience...Or specifically how Chevelle feels (and feeds off the energy) when they perform in front of people.
========
"Below...They're begging for it":
The fans of any event.
"This might just be the mother of all our needs":
Any performers need to get in front of an audience, lay it all out and feed on the energy.
"I live, weep, and sigh...In this bed of cement...How perfectly shadowed this circus":
How regular day-to-day life is tedious and regular.. But it is all overshadowed when they perform.
"I start swinging... We start swinging":
Metaphor for any performer doing their act on stage.
