Cover art for Recognize lyrics by Better Than Ezra

Wow. great input...

I'd say its about being on your deathbed, dreaming about going to hell ('as she let go of my hand') to be punished for all the bad things they'd done ('(You been living out of pocket, out of your socket) Ah, you better recognize. (You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa) Ah, you better recognize, son (Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted) Ah, you better recognize.')

Then its as if the person would change their life, but they realise its too late ('I was horrified to find There were seven horsemen next to me The angel close behind')
