| My Morning Jacket – Steam Engine Lyrics

Amen! I was there that night as well...drove down from St. Louis. I really didn't think the night could get much better until they played Steam Engine. I don't know why I didn't think they would play it, but I got goose bumps when they did. Standing there with my wife and singing at the top of my lungs with thousand of others was one of the best nights in recent memory. It's my favorite song and that night was definitely my favorite concert ever! |

Agree with all above. CW is one of the most under-rated bands ever. Their songs are truly magical and this is one of the best.
I always took this song to mean that all he can do is think about this person he loves but can't have. Even in the worst of nightmares, he'd still be there with her...just to be with her. But basically it's consuming his life and he needs to just sleep and get her out of his mind...but he just can't.
Yep...I think it's kind of a tribute to Robert Fripp as well. |

Outstanding song...in fact for a bunch of B-sides on this album...I feel like they're some of the best of CW's stuff.
Not sure what this song means, seems tho that he's saying he'd like to kill himself and if that would end his pain and make him happy...he'd do it...but that's he not sure it would do the trick. Probably oversimplifying tho. |

This song actually reminds me of a girl I dated for a long time who was a pretty good person, but kept getting colder and harder the longer I knew her. She started turning into someone I didn't even know and had a lot of secrets, etc. I feel like she soon couldn't almost face me or herself for that matter (staying all day under the covers) and ultimately we broke up. I think she knew she was being shitty, but somehow continued down that path. She's now been married, beaten, divorced and I'm glad to have known her for the time I did, but way more happy to be away from her.
Anyway, I think it's about someone you love who's fading away from you and what's good and you're trying to bring them back before they go the wrong way (whether it's to drugs or something else).
No matter what it's about, it may be one of the best songs ever! |

I think it's saying did we not learn anything from the story of Gideon (there's more than one way to win a war or deal with problems...a la Iraq). Then the part about religion is just what was said above...what the hell happened to it. It's now more about politics than goodness and love and all that crap. The other verse is like Bigs said above...almost a plea to the rest of the world...that we too believe this is wrong so don't hate/fear us. Great song! |

It's funny actually. I used to always listen to this when my girlfriend and I would wake up in the morning...and I told her I thought he was talking about waking up and wanting his girl so bad...the first thing he sees when he wakes.
But then I thought...maybe he's looking at a heroin syringe or something on the night stand and that's the first thing he sees and what he wants soooo bad.
One of my favorite MMJ songs either way! |
