Cover art for A Quiet Mind lyrics by Blue October

Wow its been awhile since someone has replyed to this so I will. I think this song is about all his problems that have happend in his life and what may happen in the future. But he has his friends around him dealing with simular to the same problems of his.

"I've got 14 angels and we're sleeping alone In the back of a cave, where the rest of us go To feel normal"

I think this refers to his friends in his life who are outcasts like he is and together they try to deal with everyday life.

"Give me strength to be kind... To combine All the good things in life that were so hard to find

But I have and I won't let them go like I do with my friends" some people might read this line thinking it might he wont let the strength go like he let go of his friends. I think this line really means he wont let go the good things in life and the strength given to him just like he wouldnt let go of any of his friends that are close to him.

"Still bearing voices... From front... From behind They're the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die When to cast... When to reel When to buy... When to steal"

This line I think the "voices" he hears are not in a literal sense. I think it means more of "voices" from the past prestent and future struggles he has, have, or will have to deal with.

This song is amazing
