Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

"We're all in the gutter, but some of us look up to the stars, and you can be happy in the gutter if you don't know to look up. So the people who can become addicted and driven and sort of obsessed by music are the ones who look up and see the heights they can try to get to. But that drive never lets them be happy where they are" --Mike Turner

"The more general and open-ended you can leave lyrics, the more people are going to be able to take home for themselves and put their own perceptions on them, and not be so narrow-minded because someone is telling them specifically what you need to take out of a song," --Raine Maida

this was always my main reason for loving my favourite bands. Soundgarden and Chris Cornell have some of the most beautiful, ambiguous lyrics I've ever read. the same goes for olp's previous albums. I kind of miss it on Gravity. I really admire a song that can mean different things to me depending on my mood, no matter if I'm furious or euphoric. :nod:

Yeah, I thought she was the one, cuz in the song doesn't Raine go "She fell very far" or something?
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Yeah, he does let her fall. I'm not sure about him killing himself. There's a good chance there was just a bunch of typos...

I have no clue. I do, however, love that quote!

It was most likely pre-SM though... That site was updated to the point of SM.

Yes, but it's nonexistant at the moment, so that page is the best...

If you'd get off your lazy behind and start working on the site, maybe we could call yours the greatest! :P

Wowzer, I had no idea the Trapeze guy killed himself. :|
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
