Invention Lyrics
One, (Oh yeah) Two
(laugh, look at the address, hey were recording Lucky Day, oh yea ,sorry)
One, two, three, (that’s it), four
Neurons re-align, til the feeling is fine, or the trouble, is gone…
They're in the business, of inventing saviors
And safe-ty, a-bounds
And safe-ty, a-bounds
You start to trust the thing that deeper comfort brings, before you've checked it
You might be waiting, for a long time
And safe-ty, a-bounds
And safe-ty, a-bounds
You think safety, a-bounds
You think safe-ty, a-bounds
It's about any kind of drugs, it's not about alcohol or religion in particular (which i both consider being drugs). Of course he refers to alcohol, but it's about people's need of forgetting the problems of their life, sometimes taking any way to get that.
i think this is about people being decieved by false saviours and not recognizing the one true Saviour...any disagreements on that?
The song is definetely about alcoholism...example: "neurons re-align till the feeling is fine of the trouble is gone"...and I'm sure the rest of you can figure the rest out from there...
yeah i'm pretty sure its about alcholism.
saviors... in the sense that people use alcohol as a savior. i guess.
alcoholism? i dont know about that. maybe its about people who do bad stuff then go to church to so that they could feel good and safe.
I believe the "inventions" part could be an allusion to Ecclesiastes 7:29 - "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." Pretty sound.
What I got from hearing this is that “fight or flight” mental reaction to stress when your nerves stand on end and your sense are heightened to become more fully aware of the situation dishing out the pressure, which is accompanied by a sense of danger.
When he said “they're in the business of inventing saviors” I thought he was still referring to the neurons, which could be offering a false sense of security, something that is necessary to go about our daily lives, even though there is “always trouble”, we can’t worry about it all the time or else every minute we’d be checking the gas on the stove and calling a loved one on a trip or something, giving us no time for healthy relaxation.
Trusting the things that deeper comfort brings to me refers to faith, that everything will work out okay in the end, that everything happens for a reason so we all learn the lessons we need to learn and things change on purpose as if part of a master plan we didn't even know about.
I can see how it could be about drugs and booze as well because they induce the state that crazy people and children can evoke as second nature, a state where they mentally leave reality behind for a strange world of curious excitement and comfort in limitless possibilities, basically, a place of no responsibilities or obligations, thus, no worries.
Hmmmm...let me guess....
It's about the savior thing.
