This song is Awsome, and the lyrics are very profound in some areas. daniel has gotten so good at song writting its not funny.

i used to like his early stuff but now i think it is a little more cheezy. this stuff is SO real and from the heart, he is putting a lot of love into it.

i myself feel like i relate to a lot of these lyrics. when i say profound i mean he is writting in a zen like way, i read a lot about buddhism and think about life a lot and it seems he is doing exactly the same, but at the same time learning to let go.

anyway, i love the line, those leaving words, hang strong from an emptiness, in buddhism they talk about how everything is empty, only mind, you can not label anything, but you can, who is? type stuff.

when im paranoid i see walls, this explains itself, when you are paranoid you try to express yourself but feel like you just keep running into invisible walls that are impossible to get through or past, life is a struggle and you suffer.

when im over joyed i see falls, when you feel good you flow like a waterfall straight easily over the walls.

dont really get the next bit but it doesnt need to make sense. to me, god is in the kitchen faking baby dangers means maybe, when we are kids we are filled with warnings of dangers that are not real, kids should be controlled but not obsessively, they need to learn for themselves.

to me the last bit, lonly in life etc, is also profound, we are all alone in a sense, this is not a good or bad thing, dead or alive? what are we? they are just words, you just have your mind to work out, and what and were is that mind, i dont know, you might say in your head, but they where is that part that claims it knows it is in your head, anyway, i dont know, i just think about it, and this is how i relate to these lyrics.

i like to try and sound wise, but i am not, but i think daniel is a guiniess, and also if anyone can contact him, tell him he must make this song and waiting all day into filmclips, the world needs to hear them.

hope this helps some people.
