It's all the same thing
Now that it ever was
Except now you've strayed too far
Need you to stop digging your hole
And follow the path we light
Don't need an invitation to be reconciled
'Cause these home fires are burning
Stare into your empty eyes and wonder...
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
You spent your time making excuse
For the ways of life that you are choosing
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am
The more we organize
We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind
You want to take the passion in my veins
And put it down in black and white
You've got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast
Now I can see just what you've become
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am
(One) one thousand (good) intentions
(Lost) translation (lost) forever
(One) one thousand (good) intentions
(Lost) translation (lost) forever
Lost
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly
Where I am
Where I am
Now that it ever was
Except now you've strayed too far
Need you to stop digging your hole
And follow the path we light
Don't need an invitation to be reconciled
'Cause these home fires are burning
Stare into your empty eyes and wonder...
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
You spent your time making excuse
For the ways of life that you are choosing
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am
The more we organize
We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind
You want to take the passion in my veins
And put it down in black and white
You've got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast
Now I can see just what you've become
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly where I am
(One) one thousand (good) intentions
(Lost) translation (lost) forever
(One) one thousand (good) intentions
(Lost) translation (lost) forever
Lost
How could something so right turn out so wrong?
I don't have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And how could something so right turn out so wrong?
Not sure exactly
Where I am
Where I am

for the ways of life that you are choosing"
To me, it seems like a reference to vegetarianism, the steps towards it; a criticism of consuming meat
"the more we organize
we suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind"
The second line especially seems referencing directly to our use of animals as food
"you've got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast"
This could be referencing to the unsustainable nature of the meat industry
Overall, perhaps its the analysis of the meat industry on the whole, the intention was good; to support the economy and the people with a source of food..
"it's all the same thing
now that it ever was
except now you've strayed too far
need you to stop digging your hole
and follow the path we light"
The meat industry has gone to far, because it is such a large and competitive industry, farmers resort to cruelty and chemicals to speed up efficiency of their production of meat
"you wanna take the passion in my veins
and put it down in black & white"
Meat farmers try and justify the cruelty by pointing to the fact that its a major support to the economy and its a huge food resource, straying away from the central criticism: the animal cruelty
Like...When he says: You wanna take the passion in my veins and put it down in black and white.
They want to take our color, our voices and smother them. Silence them.
How could something so right turn out so wrong? We don't have any way to change who we are. This is who we are and we're putting it out there and you're either gonna take us as we are, or try to change us. And you may have the best of intentions, but so did a lot of people who committed crimes.
Their lyrics usually have deeper meanings than that.
My opinin is like Rave's:
Their intentons are good, but in all they just do not get it.
I think the song's about a boy and a girl who started good then something crappy happened but he still wants her back..
"I dont have a backup plan this is all that i am"
sooo good.
'need you to stop digging your hole
and follow the path we light '
feel me?
I think your right about what they mean but i think the song was intended to be about a couple. More like the world.
"except now you've strayed too far" we intended to help the planet but now our intentions have strayed.
"you spent your time making excuse
for the ways of life that you are choosing"
we keep making excuses like "we need this forest to build fires and to make furniture"
we just make excuses for the ways we live like "why should i ride my bike to work no one else dose my contribution means nothing.or i have to drive my car its to far to ride.you choose to ignore whats going on around us.
