Emptiness Unobstructed Lyrics
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
Here we are again
In the subtle valley of deception
Where does it go
Is it swimming against the flow
Or does no one ever know
Destiny, tranquility, validity of soul
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
So the river ends
In this calamity we call heaven
Is this perfection
Are we spinning into the grey again
And transforming into the insane
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
He will shelter you from harm
And sing to you throughout your darkest hours
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
What grows upon this rock
And its urgent sense of tragedy
Time has stopped
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
In the subtle valley of deception
Where does it go
Is it swimming against the flow
Or does no one ever know
Destiny, tranquility, validity of soul
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
In this calamity we call heaven
Is this perfection
Are we spinning into the grey again
And transforming into the insane
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
And sing to you throughout your darkest hours
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
And its urgent sense of tragedy
Time has stopped

"Some things just can't be explained" says it all. Not really sure though what Warrel's trying say with it, are there things that can never be explained, or just can't be explained at the moment.
My interpretation is that Dane is expressing his usual sentiment of being fed up with the world and does not accept religious doctrines as an explanation of this "spinning ball of confusion" we live on so he is looking perhaps to the spiritual for guidance or "validity of soul". Perhaps the title is a metaphor for a state of mind he wishes to achieve either through spiritual teachings or even psychedelics in order to escape from the oppressive reality we live in.
"Within the cold absolute The cold brutal truth There is a pained angel
He will shelter you from harm And sing to you throughout your darkest hours"
possible reference to christ? although dane doesn't seem very fond of christianity, that's what it sounds like.
Dane said last night, 10-19-10, Live at the Gramercy Theater in NYC, that this song is a dedication to his friend that recently took his own life, because he was having trouble with religion and his beliefs, not knowing if he would go to heaven or not. Nothing good ever comes from religion.
I was also at that show. He said it was for his friend who's son committed suicide, for his trouble with religion and everything you were saying. Absolutely performance of it that night and song in general
