Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by,
Low light
Sidetracked, low light
Can't see my tracks,
Your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice rolls by,
Low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask,
Your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by,
Low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
Your dream I see
Its not an easy one to interpret... and to be honest, I have never myself really ever thought too much about its meaning.
For me, I think it is a song about 2 people running from the law.
The guy has done it before, but the girl, well, its her first time ....
damn, who's got the real meaning??
I think "Pilate" was the question I was asking myself, and "Low Light" was the answer, the realization. Have you ever read ''The Master and Margarita'' [by Mikhail Bulgakov]? I just read that book, and at the end they talk about Pontius Pilate being all alone on a mountain with his dog. He couldn't sleep and he couldn't function. It really struck me hard, because at that point I was feeling very alone. I've always had this recurring dream about being old and just me and my dog sitting on the porch. It wasn't necessarily a sad dream or a premonition, but it did get me to thinking about why Pilate was so alone and freaked out. Then I realized he didn't get to finish his conversation with Jesus—that's why he can't function, because he didn't tie up the loose ends in his life. Later, I was playing the guitar, and I was hit so hard by this amazing, emotion. In that moment the words "low light" came out, and somehow those were the only words to explain what I was feeling. It was a kind of gratefulness at finding that place of calm and peace at my center and getting a glimpse of the person I could choose to be. It was the purest happiness that I've experienced in a long time, that particular emotion. God, I thought I was going to explode. I feel very lucky to have been able to put it down on tape that morning and work through it until it became a song.

If you hate something, don't you do it too
Thanks Stone Irons for the post, sheds some light on the song, pretty profound, I love that about PJ, it's always about depth which is something lacking in today's music, depth...I mean being a person isn't all Fa-la-la-la....It's so much more than that and it amazes me that Jeff could get that unexplainable feeling out and down, that's just great....Shows really what Jeff's writing has contributed to PJ's amazing catalouge!
