My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way
When you're not I follow you, and always go astray
You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees
Lunch time comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so
The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear
I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year
Chorus:
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to my knees
I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you
Smile at you, trust in me, laugh and brush you off, and I'd agree
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way
When you're not I follow you, and always go astray
You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees
Lunch time comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so
The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear
I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year
Chorus:
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to
Silent in the morning
You found your voice that brings me to my knees
I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you
Smile at you, trust in me, laugh and brush you off, and I'd agree

Anyway, here goes my INTERPRETATION/opinion...
My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way
When you're not I follow you, and always go astray
-An addict looking for fix. Trusting only in the drug to fix everything going wrong within.
You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees
Lunch time comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so
-This speaks of how every day is a fresh start, a new outlook (with the cravings waiting/looming). By noon the cravings come back, and are debilitating. The cycle continues, once again basking in the morning peace that sleep and a new day brings.
The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear
- Self explanatory. Shooting for a vein. The rush/fear of unknown comes in.
I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you
Smile at you, trust in me, laugh and brush you off, and I'd agree
- I will not ignore this addiction.
Maybe.
They seem to be conveying some powerful emotions here. "Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear." That line gets me every time and obviously, I can see a possible trip reference. What I don't see is triviality or dog metaphors.
Something I see no one else catching is the refernce to the sun. "Silent in the morning, suspended in the trees". From the perspective of earth, the morning sun seems to be suspended in the treeline as it's coming up from the horizon. It's also a little dim and less intense at that time (silent). They go on to say, "Lunchtime comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees." Now again, this would equate with a solar reference. The sun would be in full bloom at lunchtime (think high noon). I really can't give a definite interpretation but I've long suspected this song references the interpolation of pagan sun worship as worship of the absolute (i.e. ancient Egyptian paganism disguised as modern Christianity, based on New Testament correlations). That might be a stretch, but I get that feeling every time I hear it.
Still mysterious to me, and like any good song, it seems rather open to loose interpretation. That third verse just seems to be replete with psychedelia, though...
