Oliver Twist

I think this song is about accepting what you have, and trying to be grateful. I think it's titled Oliver Twist, because the character Oliver Twist from the Charles Dickens play/book of the same name asked for more soup or chowder or whatever when he was being served a meal. "Please sir, may I have some more?"

"when i look through the door of my living room i want another green room from my living room" Should be lean-to, not living room.

This is what I've made out of the lyrics:

("...he saw what, he would look in the rock and see what was in there and i guess that day he saw a spell; one of his dark days.")

Pockets

I went after the door through my living room I don't wanna know the new from my room Should I pull up the phone on the kitchen so I can feel the dark while I'm doing all my dishes To live in a house and have breathing is a luxury when you understand its meaning But even in the dusk am I dreaming? a galaxy of stars above the ceiling

In my eye I'm understanding what I see its hard to think 'bout all the time it takes to get from the space to me (yeah, they're everywhere) Yeah, they're everywhere wouldn't ever know where I should be and there's the thinking and I've been thinking of the many little pennies

This different ocean Wanna be good and stay queued when we step inside the ocean

(Oh) stay grind It's hard to sit myself down and just think about the notion

Oh, I'm crying shouldn't I be intent with what I've got and not seek dimes

(Oh) Am I denying What I sought ?? something that I enjoyed but acquired

And I wonder if it's me who's just a thief who's taking a stash and blazing the grass digging a hole and digging it deep, (and I'll dig for a while) Yeah, I'll dig for a while 'cause I never know when to plant the seed and I must start thinking and I'm gonna (be) thinking of the many little pennies

(but it's good)

It's good to be a... ???

It's good to be a... ???

And if I had some kind of need Maybe the thing I need is the thing I’ve got And if I look inside of me I’ll find the thing that gets me to the bottom

And I know that there are needy some are good, yeah but some are rotten Why should I motivate the needs When I know my needs should be forgotten

Is it alright if we feel good?

"stay grind" should be "city grind"

Here's what I got... quite a few corrections but there are still some parts I'm shaky on since he manipulates his voice so much. Avey's lyrics always seem to hit the personal nail right on the head... he obviously resents his feelings of depravity and would like to acknowledge they aren't anything as bad as those of the characters in Oliver Twist. This song is has so many Buddhist elements to it, hope ya'll transcend as much of the reality-of-selfishness as this song implores.

Movie Sample: “He saw what he would look in the rock and see what was in there and I guess that day he saw a skull… one of his dark days. —Pothead–“

In through the door in my living room I don’t wanna know the aura from my bathroom. Should I pull up the floor from my kitchen So I could feel the dirt while I'm doing all my dishes? To live in a house but without breathing Is a luxury when you (who) understand it’s meaning. But in the dark what am I dreaming? The galaxy of stars above a ceiling

In my eye I'm understanding what I see it's hard to think about the time it takes to get from space to me.

Yeah I think that you are, Yeah I think that you are but I didn’t know whether I should be and then there's the thinking, and then I'm thinking of the many who have been here (OR “the many who have been me” ?)

(oooohhhh) Ocean, why do we gotta stick here when we're stuck inside the motion?

City grind OR Sick rhyme (not sure), It’s hard to sit myself down when I just think about the ocean. Oh, I'm crying. Shouldn't I be content with what I got and also dying?

Demanding I receive something I enjoy if I acquire and I wonder if it's me who’s just a thief, taking a stash and blazing the grass, digging a hole and digging it deep, (you can dig for a while) yeah dig for a while 'cause I never know when to plant the seed, and I must start thinking, and I'm thinking of the many who’d have been here.

(mmmm mmhhhhmmmmmm mmmmmmm)x2

It's going to be a new world with us, It's going to be a EITHER founding flaw OR fine day Paul. (not sure)

And If I had some kind of need Maybe the thing I need is the thing I’ve got And if I look inside of me I’ll find the thing that gets me to the bot[tom].

And I know that there are needy Some are good, but some are rotten Why should I motivate the needs When I know my needs should be forgotten. x3

This is going to sound insane, but I think Avey sampled this euro-crap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4aISmYVRTo :D

("...he saw what, he would look in the rock and see what was in there and i guess that day he saw a skull. one of his dark days.")

pocketsssssssssss...

when i look through the door of my living room i know another living room from my room should i pull up the floor from my kitchen so i can feel the dirt while i'm doing all my dishes should i live in a house that is breathing (do it) it's a luxury when you understand it's meaning but even in the dark am i dreaming? a galaxy of stars above our ceiling

in my eyes is an understanding what i see it's hard to think about the time it takes to get from space to me (even if it were/in a different world) well i never know what a man should be and there's the thinking, remember the thinking and the many dirty pennies

a different (oooo) ocean why do we gotta stick here like we're stuck inside the ocean? city grind it's hard to sit myself down i'm just thinking about the notion oh, why i'm crying? shouldn't i be content with what i've got and not seek dime or, am i denying myself, it's something that i'd enjoy if i'd acquire

and i wonder if it's me, just a thief taking a stash and blazing the grass diggin' a hole and diggin' it deep (you'll dig for a while) yeah you'll dig for a while cause you'll never know when to plant the seed and i'm still thinkin', remember the thinkin' of the many dirty pennies

(it's going to be a fine night tonight, it's going to be a fine day)

and if i had some kind of need maybe the thing i need is the thing i've got and if i look inside of me i'll find the thing that gets me to the (bottom)

and i know that there are needy some are good yeah but some are rotten why should i motivate my needs when i know my greed should be forgotten

(a few feel good, and some are rotten)
