In Between Lyrics

In between us 
Good and evil wait 
To lie beside us 
In our bed we make 

In between us 
Caution never heeds 
We prey on weakness 
Then beg for sympathy 

In between words 
Silence parades so confusion is heard 
Our voices afraid 
To speak up and reassure 
So in between words we remain 
In between 

In between us 
Hope we've yet to see 
We long for healings 
But the scars never leave 

Silence fills the void 
Of love and hate 
An effective tool 
When used to separate 
Now separate

There is tension between us and we can't agree. We usually don't work it out, so we're both stuck in the middle of nothing and being an incomplete couple. We need to 'separate.'

This song was probably about how he and his recording company were having problems with never were able to communicate correctly. Though I love how he wrote it in a way that it could easily be meant between a relationship, most of his songs have different meanings.

This is one my favorite songs of theirs, and it's one of their most unknown as well.

Whenever I think about this song, I feel as if Ed is singing about the state of humanity. Think about it. Here we all are, together on this planet, yet separated by ourselves. We remain in between each other, struggling to survive in a sometimes cruel and unforgiving world, and in between us remain all of the things that drive us. Good and evil, hope, help, love, hate, silence, people not caring or being too afraid to help others out.

To me, it is a very sad song, a very pessimistic song, but a very realistic view of how we treat each other on this planet. Instead of being together, we are separated.

This is one of the quieter song in the album that could be overlooked behind more "flashy" songs like "Precious Declaration" and "Listen".

For me, its one of the best song in that album. You could say it's a hidden gem. I like the restrained quality of the sound and its' subtleness.

I think this is just one of the many songs in that album about troubled relationship he had with the band's manager.

a beautiful song. Subtle is a powerfull in this song.

As most of csoul songs its the struggle within ourselves to be more than indifferent, in the middle. So do more as a human being and do for others put our selfishness away and give to others and this will bring you peace and fulfillment.
