Firstly, a whole section of the lyrics is missing.
"there's a line drawn in the sand, im working up the will to cross it
and i hope, that i will never let you down, i know, that this could be more than just, flashing lights and sounds!
Rhetoric can't raise the dead'
and so on
Amazing song, first Thrice song I ever heard, they are now my favourite band.
Saw them live last time they came to Australia and met Dustin.
These lyrics are amazing. to me they mean this
A person, who is in a car accident, realises after his life has just been saved, his life is not as great as he thinks.
He realises he has alot to be thankful for and there is alot that he has not done in his life.
'Rhetoric Cant Raise the Dead' I think perhaps is Dustin refering to how, no matter how much you talk or run your mouth, it will get you nowhere,
'i know that this could be more than just flashing lights and sounds' is dustin hoping his music can be more than flashing lights (perhaps during there shows) and sounds (the actual song)
he is hoping for it to mean something more to people, 'can we pick you off the ground' take people some place spiritual or amazing,
Just like paramedics literally pick people up of the ground.
he hopes his music can be tlife changing and important to people, that of a paramedic, perhaps who was the ambulance driver 'the angel' at the songs beginning
i dunno. my first post on this site. it easier to edxplain in words. lol
