  • It was an evening I shared with the sun
    To find out where we belong
    From the earliest days
    We were dancing in the shadows

    More wine
    'Cause I got to have it
    More skin
    'Cause I got to eat it

    Inside the outside
    By the river
    Used to be so calm
    Used to be so sane
    I rushed the lady's room
    Took the water from the toilet
    Washed her feet and blessed her name

    More peace
    Is such a dirty habit

    Slow down
    We're too afraid

    Let me ride
    Burn my eyes
    Let me ride

    It was an evening I shared with the sun
    To find out where we belong
    From the earliest days
    We were dancing in the shadows

    Slow down
    We're too afraid

    Let me ride
    Burn my eyes
    Let me ride Writer/s: CHAD ALAN GRACEY, CHAD DAVID TAYLOR, EDWARD JOEL KOWALCZYK, PATRICK DAHLHEIMER

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganDon't know what the Hell it's about, but it's definitely one of their funkier songs. Just learned in on the guitar today. It's got some funky chords in it. Unlike most of their other songs which are in standard e flat tuning, this one's in drop d flat. Chad Taylor uses his 1961 "Ruby Lou" Fender Jazzmaster to play on the song. He also used it on "Unsheathed" and "Heropsychodreamer", both off the same album.
  • Some_guy from Earth... UnfortunatleyI'm really surprised nobody seems to understand this one.

    "It was an evening I shared with the sun
    To find out where we belong"

    On the seventh day god made light...

    "From the earliest days
    We were dancing in the shadows"

    Lamenting that all Humans are born of sin.

    "More wine
    'Cause I got to have it
    More skin
    'Cause I got to eat it"

    Wine is the blood of Christ, Crackers are the body of christ...

    "Inside the outside
    By the river
    Used to be so calm
    Used to be so sane
    I rushed the lady's room
    Took the water from the toilet
    Washed her feet and blessed her name"

    Desperately trying to perform the sacraments of penance for some lady; in an effort to distract from His own sins. He had to use water from the toilet because He could not go near the river. He has done something bad there... Something very very bad there. Something so bad there is no body to to whom He can ever confess His sins.

    (This might not be what we all assume of the catholic church. He may have been simply having consensual sex with a man, eating fish at the wrong time, drowning a witness or having a wank.)

    "More peace
    Is such a dirty habit"

    Oh, He's banging one of the nun's.

    "Let me ride"

    Let's f--k

    "Burn my eyes"

    Many religions practice the idea that pain cleanses the body of sin. He's also comparing Her to the light of God.
  • Compusaurus from Saratoga Springs, NyLakini is not the Hindu Goddess of Destruction; that is Kali. Lakini is the Yogini or Devi who presides over Manipura Chakra. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakini
  • Char from Here, IlI love this song. The meaning's a little scary, though.

    With love,

    Charlotte.
  • Jayson from Herenesate, MsYes, this title explains itself. Lakini likes to drink his own juice, plain and simple. He is the sickest kind of pervert, but there you have it. You all listen to a song about a guy drinking his own "juice".
  • Natasha from London, EnglandI just wanted to say happy Canada day to Steph in Ottawa
  • Ashley from Perth, WaThis song rocks as much as nirvana
    i think its message is very strong. When i saw the vidoe 4 it i just throught that LIVE ROCKS so much and the lyrics of the song are very powerful in all of the songs and not always throught less like most modern music is.
  • Charles from Sydney, AustraliaThis is the hardest song of all time. Very unforgiving and touch with the raw gnuitar at the end to promote he rawness
  • Addum from Williamsport, Md"let me ride" and "burn my eyes" to me are just like. "LET ME GO!!" "IM SORRY JUST GET AWAY!!" or something like that, I can feel anger towards the end.
