Life, it's always overblown
Till we wake up create some other needs
Yeah well, cries, heard from man that knows
Let to witness, the cat upon a ledge
Heats source rained down
Dyad scout craft
Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?
So I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know
Find an other labeled hoaxes
Just as Roswell found another link
Reform witness, night abductions
You always felt a meaning, but did they come?
Well, I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know
And there's a why
I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
One self,
Well I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
Does anybody really see anything?
Does anybody really see anyone?
Lights two miles wide felt it lift felt it pull!
That's why
I'm burning out inside,
With a need to know
With self,
While I'm burning out inside, with a need to know
Does anybody really see anyone,
Does anybody really see anyone?
Does anybody really see anything,
Does anybody really see anyone?
Till we wake up create some other needs
Yeah well, cries, heard from man that knows
Let to witness, the cat upon a ledge
Heats source rained down
Dyad scout craft
Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?
So I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know
Find an other labeled hoaxes
Just as Roswell found another link
Reform witness, night abductions
You always felt a meaning, but did they come?
Well, I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know
And there's a why
I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
One self,
Well I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
Does anybody really see anything?
Does anybody really see anyone?
Lights two miles wide felt it lift felt it pull!
That's why
I'm burning out inside,
With a need to know
With self,
While I'm burning out inside, with a need to know
Does anybody really see anyone,
Does anybody really see anyone?
Does anybody really see anything,
Does anybody really see anyone?

Pete and Sam said when they were traveling through New Mexico they decided to stop at Roswell.
Pete said that he "wanted to believe" something had happened and that there are other races created outside of Earth... So he wanted some proof or something tangible to believe in.
However, upon arriving at Roswell, they were completely unsatisfied with any type of proof, and now believe that everything involved with Roswell is more about the people and not the actual event. That maybe it's characteristic of certain people to imagine abductions or encounters that are completely ludicrous.
Pete said that one woman claimed to have 3rd-degree burns on her arms from shielding her face from a spaceship taking off in her backyard or something silly.
As for some of the lines:
"Life, It’s always overblown, Till we wake up create some other needs" : people create fabrications to create excitement, or just something to distract them from day-to-day life.
"Heats source rained down, Dyad Scout craft, Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?" : Explaining the woman with burns... Seeing the burns but still being skeptical.
"Find an other labeled hoaxes. Just as Roswell found another link, Reform witness, night abductions. You always felt a meaning, but did they come?" Same idea as first verse.
"And there’s a why, I’m burning out inside, With a need to know, One self, Well I’m burning out inside. With a need to know

Does anybody really see anything?
Does anybody really see anyone?" Pete wants to know what the truth is.
"LIGHTS TWO MILES WIDE FELT IT LIFT FELT IT PULL!" Two miles wide? Felt it lift you up? Beginning to see the ridiculousness of the "encounters".
"Does anybody really see anyone, Does anybody really see anyone?
Does anybody really see anything, Does anybody really see anyone?" : Repeats to emphasize Pete still doesn't believe.
to me this song is about a fantasy, and wanting it to be real so badly that you lose yourself in it "thats why i'm burning out inside, with a need to know oneself"
the aliens are just the particular fantasy the subject of the song is lost in, aliens are actually the least important part of the song, interchangeable with any other fantasy. replace them with things from say, the wizard of oz and the song is still about the same thing
does anybody really see anything?
The overall desire of so many people to believe in aliens and UFOs and in general beings or entities greater than themselves, to explain things or to have some sense that they have a purpose or there is an ultimate structure to life. I get a hint of epistemologic pondering, like what can we really know? Is there more to reality than we can perceive? What is reality, do other people see the world like I do, do other people even exist or is this all in my mind?
And then there's lines like "Does anybody really see anyone? Does anybody really see anything?" To me that's wondering does anyone ever ask questions like these? Are people awake and fully immersed in this experience we call reality? Or is everyone stuck in their own robotic drone state of being, playing victim to reality and getting swept along by what they "know" must be real and definite.
I know that's like a lot to get from a song, but I've been thinking about similar things the past couple of weeks and when I heard this song it reminded me of this kind of inquiry.
Great song anyways, I'm really liking the whole new album, sounds great live as well.
I love the bridge and chorus more than the verses.
However, I don't think that's what this song is about exclusively. It's not just about an alien abduction.
I believe it's about wanting to know the truth.
Did anybody really see anything?
Or was it just a hoax?
Or was it just reformed to look like a hoax?
Maybe it's a song about wanting the truth from the government.
Or maybe just the truth in general.
"Burning out inside with a need to know."
The first verse: "Life, it's always overblown. Untill we wake up and create some other needs." Maybe it's saying that our life is over-investigated and we should look into other stuff like aliens. Then it goes to talk about U.F.O. sightings and the "Dyad Scout Craft" is a U.F.O. that was supposedly spotted in more than one place on more than one occasion.It is said to emit extremely bright lights from the bottom, possibly "heat source rained down". "Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?" Maybe the speaker who was abducted has some sort of scar which he considers proof.
"So I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway. I look at the eyes, know all that you know." Could be talking about how the listner could see that this man telling him this stories was honest from the look in his eyes or on his face.
Burning out inside and all that is talking about how the listener wants to know so badly if this is true or not. "Does anybody really see anything" is refering to how this could be a lie, a hoax people make up. Or could it be that the U.S. government is leading people to be a hoax. The listener wants the truth.
"Find an other labled hoaxes, just as Roswell found another link" These sightings are all similar. These "hoaxes" meight not be false or fabricated.
"Lights, too miles wide, felt them lift, felt them pull." This line is refering to the actual abduction.
"Finds and other labeled hoaxes, Just as Roswell found another link. Reform witness, night abductions You always felt a meaning, but did they come?" Maybe the sighting in Roswell is another "Dyad." Maybe, this is coming together, feeling real. Then says this "meaning" the listener felt is that the aliens really did land.
Yaa, that's about it. That's my input and thoughts on the song. I love Chevelle and their spectacular lyrics. Every song is great. Oh, and this is the Dyad Scout Craft I was reffering to. Pretty cool. nicap.org/… . And if you dont know, Roswell, New Mexico is like the U.S. capital for U.F.O. sightings. Have a nice day.
