| Why? – Even the Good Wood Gone Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
everything up until the first chorus is describing a dream he had. It just sets up the egyptian tomb imagery. the second verse has him being buried with things that have nothing to do with his life, new pair of skis, etc. hence would "throw the scent of my true purpose from god and grave robbers" The next two lines are basically the message of the song and the point he's getting at. the last verse elaborates on the second, having him holding a hockey stick or cattle prod, which have nothing to do with his purpose in life. He says "aloof and tinged with truth" refers to the fact his left hand was gripping the stick or prod, and as he "always shot pool south paw", it would make sense that these items would be in his left hand, though the items themselves are misleading. The song is basically about his sense of purposelessness, or not knowing what his true purpose is. |

| Why? – Eskimo Snow Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| definitely right about those lines, and the closing lines im pretty sure are about him not killing himself. I'm trying to figure out what the cross symbolizes. Its a pattern: snow is to sadness as cross is to _____. Can't figure it but I wouldn't be so surprised if he was talking about christianity because "barely understanding what truth that rarely calls" seems to fit. And he references christianity in positive ways in other songs | |
