But, one of my favorite snippets:
"No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now/It's funny when things change so much/It's all state of mind/ I swallow my words (the truth) to keep from lying/ I swallow my face just to keep from biting/ I swallowed my breath and went deep I was diving/I surfaced & all of my being was enlightened/Now I'm in hiding"
"Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith."

I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing
You're in your own world ...lets see the whole world
I would rather starve than eat your bread
Everything has changed....absolutley nothing's changed
No I don't wanna hurt, theres so much in this world to make me bleed

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
What a different life had I not found this love with you .....

"whos kidding rainy day.....one way ticket headstone....
occupations overthrown....a whisper thru a megaphone..."
I don´t know the meaning or really understand what is about but it sounds good and I like it..
"The smallest oceans still get ... big,big waves"
Again don´t know what the lyrics is all about but it fits the song perfect
Burn my eyes and try to blind me
Bury me so they won't find me
Try to suck my power empty
Got no crown of thorns on me
There are so many great lines and words, some of my favourites:
love boat captain take the reign
saved for tears that were waterfalling
and from ITW: ... make me feel I´m falling ... safely to the ground
I had a dream, before I heard the song, driving down from a mountain by bike, very quickly and then ... not getting the curve, but going straight on into ... thin air and: falling, falling, falling for hundreds of meters and then ...landing save on the ground.

'Are we going to the same place ? If so, can I come ?'
'I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.'
'Escape is never the safest path'
'The direction of the eye, so misleading, the defection of the soul, nauseously quick. I don't question our existence, I just question our modern needs'.

Won't let the darkness swallow me.

One of the greatest lines ever! Although written about Bush, I think we all know someone who could be perfectly summed up by this line.
Love it!
That's a great line, not only for the words, but for the part of the song where the words come out of...somehow.
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing
You're in your own world ...lets see the whole world
I would rather starve than eat your bread
Everything has changed....absolutley nothing's changed
No I don't wanna hurt, theres so much in this world to make me bleed
i've been meaning to get a new mp3 player, and had planned to get let the song protest inscribed..
it just sums it all up for me
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

"You are the luckiest fan in the board having heard oceans, release and hard to imagine three shows in a row!!"
These are a few of my favorites
" I will stare the sun down until it burns my eyes."
"I escaped it a life wasted and I am never going back again"
" I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened"
"I'm like an opening band for the sun"
"Don't call me daughter.. not fit to.. the picture kept will remind me" -side note, this is engraved into my mother's urn, and her picture sits beside it..
" like Pilate I have a dog.. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves.."
" Visions of falling up somehow"
and last, but very far from least,
"how much difference does it make??"
