does it get any better then Indifference? it's perfect @ the end of Vs. a mellow yet powerful closing song on a great album

and this song live is just a whole nother story. awesome. esp when the crowd joins in on vocals. sweet :)

Indifference

I will light the match this morning so I won't be alone.
Watch as she lies silent for soon that will be gone.
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched. Pretend I'm free to roam.
Oh, I will make my way through one more day in hell.

How much difference does it make? (x2)

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm.
Oh, I'll keep taking 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.

How much difference does it make?
Mmm, how much difference does it make?
How much difference...

I'll swallow poison until I grow immune.
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room.

How much difference... (x2)
How much difference does it make? (x2)
Ooh... Ooh... Ooh...

    oh god. got to hear this in phoenix and i had to pick my soul up off of the floor. always will be one of my favorites. can't deny the lyrics either.
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    It is very dreamy, I think of it as a song about having strong will

    Indifference just draws you in. I can listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it. How great is Eddie's voice on this one?

    I wish I'd been at MSG. I've heard the bootleg and can't wait to see Indifference on the DVD.

    This is how I see it too. God I love this song,it also speaks to me about some one having one person with them- yet being very alone, ...solitary.(almost)
    And we're all allowed to dream of the next time we touch.

    I was drawn to Indifference when Vs first came out because it agreed with my teen angst but overtime I have learned to appreciate the power of the lyrics and like someone said....INDIFFERENCE LIVE IS AMAZING!!
