i agree with pt_mcb. it's like not giving a damn about what he learned in school or what was taught to him by his family (ditch what i read/behind what i heard), but going out to find out for himself what he was taught. even if he screws up, it's still good. he'll manage, anyway (even straight roads meander). he's going to follow his heart, mind, and instincts (from here on, it's instinctual) and experience things his own way to find out what he wants to know/see. every step he takes and ever mistake he makes will get him closer and closer to finding out the truth (every piece contains a map of it all). i just don't know what 'a crow left of the murder' is meaning. anyone know?

a group of crows is known as a murder similar to a group of geese is a gaggle but what it is saying is in a group that can not be separated there is an individual that has done so ( the crow left of the murder)

The first thing you should know about this Incubus song/album is that a flock of crows is called a "murder." So if you are a "crow left of the murder" you are the one that doesn't fly with the flock. Meaning, you are living your life for yourself instead of just following society.
