Feel The Quiet River Rage

I think that this song is about two people sharing a love that isn't working but is a habit and they are doing everything they think is right to hold on to it when in fact they need to let it go in order to move on. I think this song is awesome because you can feel power in it.

I think this song is talking about the pain a peaceful person deals with because they don't want to "turn to hate."

I like katox's view though and it doesn't really matter which view is correct (katox's makes more sense). What matters is the power behind this song. You can hear the emotion Ed puts into this song and I love it. Ed is saying that we are not going to be on this Earth forever so show some love.

"I can feel the quiet river rage forcin' my lips into a smile don't believe that the world is empty just too noisy to hear the sound "

I think that this is about the "river" of energy some people believe surrounds us all. It is said that if one can feel this energy, it brings peace to the that person. That's what I think the quiet river is.

When he says that it's too noisy to hear the sound, he's talking about the constant through process occurring in most of our minds. This incessant thinking is mental noise, and it distracts a peson from living in the moment and feeling this quiet river. When I listen to this album, I believe most of the album is about this sort of thing.

Yeah, totally agree there. Most of the album is about that, a sense of losing oneself to a greater spiritual power, whether love or something else. Magnificent album.
