Under the Influence Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jetsam 

Cover art for Under the Influence lyrics by Matthew Good Band

This song reminds me of the TV series 'Lost'. The lyrics of the song match up almost perfectly and the general theme of wanting to be under the influence again is a lot like the islanders wanting to be back in their messed up lives away from the island.

I personally love the lines:

" I dreamed I was a pigeon Slipping through the heavens Like a seven forty seven"

Just going from that idea of being something delicate and graceful and then changing it instantly to an enormous titanic force is very, very clever.

Also:

"Learning the don'ts of fire prevention"

Seriously, how great is that!
