Revelation Big Sur Lyrics
i can't make anything
of why the brightest light fades
or how you slept a sleepless slumber
and through the rhythm of the timeless season
and you are the dark on my soul
and it's your love that i steal
and you're my cuts that won't close
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain
i don't see anything
through all your worries
and the worst in people
and you're the builder of your own high temple
and that's the magic of your mind
and you're the reason that i'm down
but you're the promise that i found
and you're all that i got
who's the meanest
and who's a genius
and who's mine
and from the bed you lay and wonder
and from the morning come like thunder
it's the downfall of your time
and you're the dark of our home
but still the home that i feel won't let up
or let go
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain
of why the brightest light fades
or how you slept a sleepless slumber
and through the rhythm of the timeless season
and you are the dark on my soul
and it's your love that i steal
and you're my cuts that won't close
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain
i don't see anything
through all your worries
and the worst in people
and you're the builder of your own high temple
and that's the magic of your mind
and you're the reason that i'm down
but you're the promise that i found
and you're all that i got
who's the meanest
and who's a genius
and who's mine
and from the bed you lay and wonder
and from the morning come like thunder
it's the downfall of your time
and you're the dark of our home
but still the home that i feel won't let up
or let go
and this i'm certain
and this i'm certain

i think this song is about how a girl meant absolutely everything to him; he so reveres her that she even becomes an idealized caricature of herself; so great that he almost resents it, but at the end of the day his love for her overcomes even that resentment
this is one of RHP's better songs, i think
this song is really heartfelt on a mature level. if someone were to ask me what true love is, i would probably just tell them to listen to this song.
it amazes me how few people have ever heard this song.
this may be one of the best unknown songs in existence. a great song by a great band. i agree with your explanation of the song iamchipdouglas.
buenos, you're right about it possibly being the best unknown song. it's a sort of privilege to know it at all :). great melody, great heartfelt lyrics...
i think i got a more correct version here, tho (look closely for differences):
i can't make anything of why the brightest light faded or how you slept a sleepless slumber and through the rhythm of the timeless season and you are the dark on my soul and it's your love that i steal and you're my cuts that won't close
and this i'm certain and this i'm certain and this i'm certain
i don't see anything through all your worries and the worst in people and you're the builder of your own high temple and that's the magic of your mind and you're the reason that i'm down but you're the promise that i found and you're all that i got
who's the meanest and who's a genius and who's mine
i can't take anything and from the bed you lay and wonder and from the morning come like thunder it's the downfall of your time and you're the dark of our home but still the home that i feel won't let up or let go
and this i'm certain and this i'm certain and this i'm certain
I think it's just about living with someone for a few years, how difficult it is and how it's very tough to leave such a situation. "I can't anything of why the brightest light fades."
