Surrounded Lyrics

I've always felt this was about a relationship. Kevin Moore, the lyricist, definitely had things going on, listen to album prior, with Light Fuse and Get Away, and then the next, with Space Dye Vest.

All the lyrics in my head point to it, denying that she's gone. And then at the end, coming to terms.

This little bit hits hardest to the meaning.

"It's been a long, long time He's had awhile to think it over In the end he only sees the change Light to dark Dark to light Light to dark Dark to light"

My Interpretation

LOL... "On the down low." Whole other meaning. Special dictionary even ;)
