General Comment I always assumed this song was written about the tragedy of his sister and her husband. The one who killed her and ultimately killed himself What you are is the beast in a lover's arms What you are is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss What you are is missing a piece What you are is a puzzle to me The beginning is almost like as if he is describing walking into her funeral.
Like everyone is looking to him for answers I walk into this room Oh, all eyes on me now But I do not know the people inside They look straight through me, these eyes Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away Realize, realize what you are The seas unsparing We're all drifting away Away from you, I pray for you now But hoping to God on high Is like clinging to straws while drowning, oh Realize, realize what you are He knows that his sister is gone, "drifting away.
He is an atheist so of course to him, hoping to God that she is at peace is like clinging to straws while drowning The first time I heard him play it live and he said get down on your knees mother fucker! I had this eerie feeling that he was talking to his sister's husband, but he was the yelling at him to get down on his knees, like he was about to kill him. It was the first time where I felt a really dark vibe coming from Dave and even the inflection in his voice had a sinister tone.
There was an error. You hear him say something about "God is on my side", but with him being an atheist, that wouldn't seem to make sense, so I've still never been able to figure out what he was saying the adlibbed part at the end.
It was extremely obvious there is some very powerful emotion he's feeling when he sang the song in the Central Park show. When he sings the word "self" in the line "don't trust me, trust yourself" is one of the most belted out powerful vocals I've ever heard. It still gives me chills every time I hear it. ScottRussell on June 10, General Comment Perhaps it's the "afraid if we dance, we might die" that first struck me, but when I heard this song first years ago, I was walking along a college campus, my now, five-part novel series in its infancy stages.
It hit me so strongly due largely to the fact that it fit my central characters so predominantly, that I'm just as perplexed as to its actual intended meaning as the rest of the forum members.
That is, something that may have been an outlet to work through personal joys and sorrows, soon becomes a source of angst with the complications that come with business relationships, touring, and fame. What was a passion becomes a burden and he argues with himself about all he gave for it. After all, it is the passion of his life. I think that I t means he was I love with a girl wanted to tell her how he felt but he could by and gain it was the ;1 song he wrote and it gives him pain thinking about not talking to that girl and telling her how he felt.
It's already been told it's about when he was in the circus. He was a stunt performer for a great friend of his at the time and they made a killing that day and instead of splitting it his friend kept it all. So dave left to pursue his music and went his own way. This is my favorite DMB song. I believe it's about losing someone u love. Has anyone who commented heard the song?? Or know the lyrics??
She doesn't want to take the chance of getting back together but he wants her back. Dave almost always writes with multiple meanings. Pretty sure two of them in 41 are love-relationships and ecstasy and other drugs. Dave's music is e music, do it and listen. Dave is a beast and he is also hallucinogenic entertainment at its finest. Dave loves E and what it has done for him, he has written a lot of jams based on ecstasy experiences. I know Dave and Dave makes e music for sure.
Get a clue people, expand your lil brains a lil. Get some good X and sit back and relax and enjoy Dave and his great ecstasy music because that's what most of it is. Back when www. If I remember correctly it was a song about A disagreement about money with a friend. It was called "police 41" because it sounded like a police song. The song changed a bit and the lyrics completely changed and now the song is Search for Police 41 and you'll get a cool song but the lyrics are hard to hear.
Ever since I heard this song I immediately thought it was about the sheer agony of losing someone you love and wanting them back. Memories coming back "all at once the ghosts come back reeling in you now. God love Dave and his beautiful song writing skills. I've actually heard that this song was written about his sister that passed away??
Not sure, but it's a really beautiful song. I love the sax solo at the end. Steve Hoffman Music Forums. Location: DuBois, PA. From 's Crash album I could swear the lyrics were slightly different than what the lyrics sheet read Dave says it's about a "peeping Tom" In a boys dream Oh I watch you there through the window And I stare at you You wear nothing but you wear it so well tied up and twisted the way I'd like to be For you, for me, come crash into me I think the song is certainly sexual in parts To sum it up I am going to present what I think he's singing To me, this song is just another case of that Dave sings as the lyrics read above He's mad at himself, but overwhelmed by love.
He's spouting this sweet, romantic poetry at the beginning Any opinions? I'm not saying that I am correct, just starting a discussion
