Will I wake up
Is it a dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will change us
Or will we mess up
Our only chance to connect
With a dream
Say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound
In a world of human
Wreckage
I'm lost and I'm found
And I can't touch the
Ground
I'm plowed into the sound
To see wide open
With a head that's broken
Hang a life on a tragedy
Plow me under the ground
That covers the message
That is the seed
Is it a dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will change us
Or will we mess up
Our only chance to connect
With a dream
Say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound
In a world of human
Wreckage
I'm lost and I'm found
And I can't touch the
Ground
I'm plowed into the sound
To see wide open
With a head that's broken
Hang a life on a tragedy
Plow me under the ground
That covers the message
That is the seed

The other meaning is a religious person. They're surrounded by sin and hoping to stay away from it, asking people to pray for them. The line 'I'm lost and I'm found, but I can't touch the ground' is a reference to the bible. In the prodigal son, the father says 'My son was lost, but now he's found.' A reference to Christians. And the narrator is asking for prayers to help them survive without falling. Also, a lot of Christians say that this life doesn't matter, because Heaven will be amazing, so this life is like a bad dream. Either or.
"will i wake up

or will we mess up
our only chance to connect
with a dream"
Generally daydreams are about things we want. He's hoping that he won't wake up and be disappointed to find out that his possibly life-changing pursuit will not have been real.
"say a prayer for me
i'm buried by the sound
in a world of human
wreckage
i'm lost and i'm found
and i can't touch the
ground
i'm plowed into the sound"
He asks for those around him to wish him luck in his pursuit, because he knows the sound of those with broken dreams who will inevitably attempt to dissuade him can be deafening. The further and closer he gets to accomplishing his dream, the more opposition he may face, but presses on nonetheless.
"to see wide open
with a head that's broken
hang a life on a tragedy
plow me under the ground
that covers the message
that is the seed"
He knows that even getting closer, that dwelling on failure is how self doubt begins. Doubt that could cause him to give up his cause, accept defeat, and join the rest of those who have abandoned their hopes & dreams.
"will i wake up
is it a dream i made up
no i guess it's reality"
The songs ends with him having made his original dream a reality.
I mean, c'mon..the singer sounds like Mike Ness, don't he?
Great song. Two great bands.
And I am very very sorry to people who lost someone they love in a car crash, I have also lost people I love before I believe it was their time...
And if I made you not like the song; just be happy inside when you hear it, God will save the boy and everyone else at the end of time, there's an afterlife, there is not just blackness when we die.
It's a sad song and your subconscious knows what it means,
that's why you feel overwhelmed when you hear it.
It takes place in the 50's.
A young guy (or a boy, really because he is singing to his parents) was killed by a car going very fast; with a big fender or grill on it (you know with a spike on the front old 50's car) on a far away two lane country road he was walking on.
He was basically ALL covered with blood and his body was badly ripped up.
The Sheriff arrived at the hit and run (probably because the farmer called). The Sheriff said he was "too gross with blood to take hospital (or the morgue) unless you sewed him together before you put him in the car".
So the farmer plowed him into the ground because the Sheriff said to.
In the old days they used to plow pig remains in the ground like the bones and unused pieces or (hopefully) dead sick ones as fertilizer.
Months before in that field the farmer plowed some pig remains in the Earth where they plowed that boy. He says he is plowed into the SOUND (maybe nobody could hear him screaming over the plow running the boy over) but change it to sow. He wants you to know where he is buried.
My brother says this is what it means, I believe him. He is a genius.
Human wreckage, his world is now literally human wreckage and he is a ghost stuck reliving it (hanging on life by a tragedy).
His only chance was lost when the farmer and police plowed him into that random field.
Now he doesn't have a grave.
His parents can't try to sew him together to save him, he's mixed with pigs remains in the dirt.
He is Lost and Found. Because there is no record of him being anywhere.
He's atoms are telling him he is a ghost now.
* Really he'll be okay one day Jesus will pull him up from the ground with a perfect body, he just has to wait though.
songs from that time...
Good stuff.
