    Severed Hand

    Big man stands behind an open door
    Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
    "got some kicks, want to take a ride?"
    I said, "yeah!"
    "take your pick, leave yourself behind"
    I said, "yeah!"

    I've no fear but for falling down
    So look out below I am falling now
    Oh please understand I just need, my friend,
    a way a way a way home

    Tried to walk, found a severed hand
    Recognized it from the wedding band

    Said "it's ok, do you want some more?"
    I said, "yeah!"
    "You'll see dragons after 3 or 4"
    I said, "yeah!"

    "Understand I'm not falling down"
    I said, "look around, the room's taller now",
    I can't close my eyes, 'cause I see the sound in waves
    In waves, lets me stay calm

    If I don't lose control
    Explore and not explode
    A preternatural other plane
    With the power to maintain

    Like a tear in all we know
    Once dissolved we are free to grow
    What is human, what is more?
    I'll answer this when I get home

    According to Stone:

    Gossard: "That song is pretty intense in terms of the perspective of someone who says, 'F*** it. I'm going to go lose my mind. That's how I want to live right now.' It's a little bit anthemic. It's not necessarily embracing it, but everyone can relate to that feeling of, 'F*** it. I'm going to go get drunk.' That's an intense perspective to have. It's cool that it's balanced out on the rest of the record with some real characters."

    I thought Eddie said it was from that ritual he was talking about in that interview on the radio with the dj who had gone through the ritual in peru.

    i can fully relate to this part. i see sound in shapes, sometimes too.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Language means nothing. That's its beauty. However, we mean everything, and when language in its nothingness invokes a sense of our everythingness, it's art. I said yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. :D

    Does anyone know where to find the lyrics to the new album??
  • FinsburyParkCarrotsFinsburyParkCarrots Posts: 12,223
    On the ten club site, after the album is released, probably. Also, the album might feature a booklet with lyrics, if we behave ourselves. ;)

    "you'll see dragons after three or four
    i said YEAH!"

    hahaha!! and the room getting taller and "i'm not falling down" and seeing the sound in waves... definitely not about being drunk, either being high or on some thing else....

    yeah, to go with the fact that this song is about trippin.

    plus, it seems irrelevent what the floor is made of.

    I'm sorry. I hear the same thing as you. I'm going with it.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get

    This song owns... or pwns or whatever that previously-hacker-now-myspace lingo is...

    absolutely love this song.. maybe even more than Gone.
    we don’t know just where our bones will rest,
    to dust i guess,
    forgotten and absorbed into the earth below,..

    SOUNDS AMAZING!!!

    This song reminds me of free will, and how we can abuse it.
