Lyric discussion by Lissy Ratz 

Cover art for Raven lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

When I got Busted Stuff I noticed immeaditly all the lyric changes from Lillywhite sessions, but this song espically. I can't really figure it out. I see the Priest thing, but i still need to be sold on that point. I see that the Man is trying to sell a good point: "..You take care of it please, For it’s the only one." But is really bad. As in he was 'twisting' the 'truth'. i put in quotes becaus i still think it's all metaphoric.
Maybe the man is self-destructive, cuz one hand's bleeding and the other holds the gun. Or something hypocritical like that. Anythought on what he did? As in "..take me a lifetime to undo what you've done" Boy's probably trying to fix something bad that the man did. i think..maybe...perhaps...? Inside the cover it says: "Shake his head like and angry mother, SMOKE the boy..." Still tryin to figure that one out. OTHER PEOPLE: speak! i really want to hear other takes on this one!

"The ground beneath you’s nothing more Than one point of view. " Favorite quote, interesting point
