Man I just heard this today like I have never heard it before. would dare say that Rusted Root is referring to Jesus' story!
"Invoke the light to shelter you
'Cause everybody wants a piece of you
It's the dyin' man, what she said"
---His interaction with the people and the masses...Everybody wanted to have a miracle happen in their lives and would flock to him.---and His crucifixion..."dying man"
"Yesterday I was lost and you kicked me some food
Boy it was nice to be here with you"
---Again- Jesus' interaction with the masses....feeding 1000's from a little fish and a little bread (and ultimately Himself)----
I was lost and now I'm found.... Strange they chose this when it is so clearly a statement of faith... Amazing Grace, etc.
IDk.... It's all in the eye of the beholder, right, but geez! I sure heard it differently yesterday than any other of the million times I have listened to this song. been listening to it for years, and never once did it occur to me this fits the story PERFECTLY until now.
