Hindsight Lyrics
hindsight's giving me
too much memory
there's too much never seen
but it's always there
cuz it's everywhere
taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
but now I come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains
they don't want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener cuz it's fake
cuz that's all that we've been told
since we were five years old
is that all we'll ever know
hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there
the thing with gettin' up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf
they don't want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind
what about canada
this paradise
of pines and ice
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
the never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye
too much memory
there's too much never seen
but it's always there
cuz it's everywhere
worked out for me nice
but now I come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains
is that grass just greener cuz it's fake
cuz that's all that we've been told
since we were five years old
is that all we'll ever know
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind
this paradise
of pines and ice
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
the never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye

Feelin' it's about Canada. Would anyone care to agree?
lol. to me its about hindsight...memories and looking back at your life, mistakes you've made, or maybe just choices you've made not necisarilly mistakes. thinking about those mistakes/chopices in the now and realizing the grass wasnt greener on the other side its just what society has told that since you were five. and a little about the future and material things that hopefully wont be worth as much as other people in the future...thats my take...
Lyrics above are wrong, here are the correct lyrics:
