It's a beautiful world but everyone's insane
Either you swim or either you fade
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
I want to be for you what I've never had
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
Through the rain traffic
As you |oat into space
Your white eyes hide your face
As you float in between
I am with you - If you leave
Fragile to the waves
Vicissitudes of days
When I am with you I feel a little brave
The madness and the wars the circles that we run
Confusion we import look what we have become
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
Through the rain traffic
As you float into space
Your white eyes hide your face
As you float in between
I die with you - If you leave
I die with you I die with you
Either you swim or either you fade
It's a revolution time we're sleeping at the wheel
Apocalypse child in a nuclear field
We want to change the world but not what holds us back
I want to be for you what I've never had
As you |oat into space
Your white eyes hide your face
As you float in between
I am with you - If you leave
Vicissitudes of days
When I am with you I feel a little brave
The madness and the wars the circles that we run
Confusion we import look what we have become
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
As you float into space
Your white eyes hide your face
As you float in between
I die with you - If you leave
I die with you I die with you

i love this song, it just talks about wherever the person you love goes, you will follow, and be there too. I just went to the bush concert last night, it was the best night of my life. BUSH RULES! GAVIN IS THE HOTTEST MAN ALIVE!
i LOVE this song as well. it is just so sonderful, it got me through some bad times and the lyrics are awesome. bush lyrics just make so much sense to me, me being an ecowarrior.
dude....thats about all i can say for like 5 minutes. this IS the song. its so fucking powerful. you just wanna curl up in a ball and cry. i aslo went to the BUSH concert. but like way back in march, the 26th. it was...dude...the best night. this song....dude, i cant cant even say. its just one of those rare beautiful things captured on tape or cd or whatever that will stick with you the rest of your life. its just...surreal
yeah man... this song is more powerful than everlong
this song is the best!! i always listened to it, in a situation when i always thought about a girl and our relationship...and i was far away from her...finally this song described my feelings better than any other lyric..

The lyrics are hardly open to interpretation; they explain themselves quite well. He describes himself following a girl, and protecting her, where ever she travels. With her, he feels empowered and enlightened... however, he may not completely have the girl as "his". This song cries out to the woman, simply asking her whether she wants him there or not.
wow..just wow, this is my favorite song from the golden state album - i love it - and i love the lyrics - one of the best lines i ever read was :
I want to be for you what I've never had
Sadly, this is so true and applies for me all the time i try to get into a new relationship - mostly i give 10 times more than i ever recieve back.... oh my thats life
The song itself is probably (imho) about trying to pursuade a girl or woman whatever that you (he) is the right person for her...
And all of this time I was just trying to reach you
he tries hard, really hard and does everything he can that she will finally choses him and gives him a chances
This is a beautiful song about a man's devotion to his lover. He has see the evil, self-destructive, and sinful world. We only preach morality and change to feel righteous, but really we embrace this sin to satisfy our weakness. The world would die without this false satisfaction (afterall we are only human right?). This lesson he has learned about life and he is trying to explain it to his lover to protect her in hopes that she will not have to learn the hard way as he did. He admits he is fragile but goes on to say how brave he feels in this dangerous world when he is with her. In th chorus he is comforting her, telling her that in this rain filled world that cries with sorrow he sees her white eyes (her innocence) as she floats through space (not knowing of the evil around her) and he is saying that he will protect her even if she dies ("leaves"). He is willing to die for this woman because he wants to preserve her innocence. His love goes beyond the limits of this world. He will protect her even in death by protecting her in life.
I can't believe there aren't more comments on this song!
To me, when I first heard this song, I thought of a man devoting himself to his dying lover. If she dies, he will go with her.
