Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
The soul can wait
Well, it is still pretty what with all these leaks
We'll be fine
We'll be fine
But if it's still pretty what with all these leaks
Will we find, oh
And supervise
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
Oh no, you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
But here comes the fall
So much for make-believe and not so
So much for dreams we see but not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel, your heart makes me moan
For always and ever I'll never let go
Always concealed, safe and inside, alive!
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke; I pull the black from the gray, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
The soul can wait
Well, it is still pretty what with all these leaks
We'll be fine
We'll be fine
But if it's still pretty what with all these leaks
Will we find, oh
And supervise
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
Oh no, you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
But here comes the fall
So much for make-believe and not so
So much for dreams we see but not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel, your heart makes me moan
For always and ever I'll never let go
Always concealed, safe and inside, alive!
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke; I pull the black from the gray, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

Excellent combination with Banks' baritone vocals.
"New York band Interpol wrote a song titled "Pioneer to the Falls", which is believed to reference St. Guillen's murder. The title of the song most likely refers to the journey that St. Guillen made, walking on Spring Street from the Pioneer bar to The Falls bar."
The murder was in NYC, so they could have really sympathized... my basic interpretation of some parts in the context of the murder:
Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Dirt pile: where her body was found?
Three stowaways: still don't know about this line, but maybe to do with the other girls he was suspected of kidnapping/assaulting? Or, maybe something to do with the other people suspected to be involved (bar owner Dorrian, mafia faimly, etc.)
And oh you try..
You tried.. straight into my heart
You fly.. straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try...
You fly.. straight into my heart
He sympathizes with her story, knows she 'tried' to get away (evidence of defense wounds)
I don't know. This is all just off of the Wikipedia article about St. Guillen's death. Not sure how much I agree with it.
"So much OF DREAMS DECEIT, I'm not prepared to know"
So much OF dream's deceit, I'm not prepared to know.
I would replace, "So much for pain's deceit..." for, "So much for dream's deceit..."
So much OF dream's deceit, I'm not prepared to know.
There are many references to the strength of his love:
* The opening verses make me think that if he is shown the dirt pile, or a death or grievance on his love's part, he will pray that he can accept her religion (the "three stowaways" as the trinity)
* The beautiful verse near the end, "your heart makes me feel / your heart makes me bold / for always and ever / I'll never let go" is obviously a testament to love.
* "I felt you so much today" reminds me of when someone is heavy on your mind
Then there's references to pain and hardship:
* If you leave me because of this (vanish with no guile) than it'll be alright, it won't be me paying for it
* The soul can wait. That alone shows that it'll be a difficult time.
* "All these leaks" makes me think of tears. "We'll be fine" is just a reassurance.
* Here comes the fall, here comes the difficult time
* "So much for make believe / pain's deceit" refers to the difficulties of the situations and how they can't be covered up, they're plain in sight
* I pull the black from the grey. Like, "the grey area", pulling the black from the grey might mean being pessimistic, pointing out the bad parts of this muddled situation. However it ends with "but the soul can wait", leading me to think that he's telling her that yes, it's tough for me, but it'll be alright, i can wait.
