An echo that rings
A bullet unchained
One life, one grave
Joins the parade
The sky grows dark
With fallen stars
Who'd come so far
A headstone engraved
The colors turn gray
The black and white fades
It's growing up just like me.
I actually woke up this morning still singing it internally.
I love this song!!!

Here, far away,
One could feel the Earth vibrate
Moon, changing shaping and shade
As we all do under its gaze
Damn! So beautiful, solid - When I first heard this, it was so apparent that the music was Jeff's - his music is tangible when I hear it - which may seem strange - but it's like light on fingertips, moving with each heartbeat.
Lyrics - again, so strikingly appropriate - the brilliance of Eddie - I think a lot about his grasp of and usage of language - it fascinates me, his ability. As a high school English teacher, I cannot help but wonder if he wrote like this as a student. He is truly gifted.
An amazing song - powerful.
Yes yes yes. Perfect description. The beginning pulls you in quick and doesn't let you go. I liken this song most to Parting Ways as it slowly builds, gets inside your head and then slams you to the ground with its grinding chorus.
Right on!!
Really do love this song and glad I was able to hear it live at the concert. I'm a big fan of songs that Jeff wrote.

Sounds like someone who is fed up on life and has gone off on their own to reassess their life and meaning and ultimately commit suicide.

I don't mean this in any offense, or to curtail the discussion, as like I said, it does have deeper meaning, I only want to add what nobody mentioned, and that is that the moon is actually the centerpiece of the song..
if you have a profound relationship with nature you will be more able to appreciate eddies lyrics. you can take offense to that if you like
It's so serene and majestic.
I think the previous poster is spot on.
I feel it's a wonderfull salute to nature and the way you can escape
and feel very small and humble in it.

Couldn't agree more. Subtle, but direct and powerful at the same time.
