This song has a simple, but emotional meaning... It was written when SOAD were in touch deeply with their Armenian side...
'Eating seeds as a pastime activity' - literally, in Armenia, US/Armenian places, you would see people eating sunflower seeds to pass the time, in public places there's often trails leading to groups of Armenians.
'Do you own disorder' - There is alot of disorder in Armenia. There's no jobs, police are corrupt, the goverment are connected to the mob and the Armenian race, to some point, has given up. THis is why the US seems like a heaven compared to Armenia.
'Sacred silence and sleep' - With there being no jobs and the country going to the dogs, having something to pass the time (Like eating sunflower seeds) is ideal. Silence occours because nobodys really, genuinely happy; thus silence is created. People have nothing much better to do than eat sunflower seeds and sleep to pass time.
'Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub' - This means you don't care how fast you're moving through life, you only see a fraction of what's out in the world.
'When I became the sun, I shone life into mans hearts' - this means he used to be really happy, social and doing what we would consider normal activity, until the toxicity (danger, poverty, disorder) caught up and took over. 'The toxicity of our city' was also explained there.
I first heard this song today because i was looking for acoustic mandolin material out of the norm. I was pleasantly surprised! (youtube acoustic mandolin collab W chris 1999876) I have, with interest & facination enjoyed the many different meanings submitted. Thanks for all who took the time!
Lets think about this.
Maybe the song in general IS talking about mankind's pursuit of highest technology, or the best of everything, but how, actualy, we're worse off now than ever.
1st line=thirst for higher tech, better ways to control & organize
2nd line=(am I mistaken? everyone seems to think this is talking about a "tire"...

1st line=thirst for higher tech, better ways to control & organize
2nd line=(am I mistaken? everyone seems to think this is talking about a "tire" hub, the lyrics say "tired" hub, which would mean an exausted center of great activity or interest! thus=we have lost interest in the REAL meaning of life.
3rd line=seeds;Luke 8:11 "The seed is the word of God" are religions passivly or inactivly applying this message? are the historical mistakes & advances in mankind's history,being the "seeds" we've sown, not been taken seriously. Poison!
Man has, and probably will always (until intervened by a higher source)try to own the world. What has been accomplished is DISORDER. Man can not own the world without disorder.
Sacred=Holy,Sleep=Death, somewhere in between,disorder, confusion, lack of civic guidance.
More wood=material gains. Loud neighbors=lack of respect for fellow man.
Flashlight reveries=a flashlight is impulsive & only shines so far. Reveries are dreams...only to be brought down by the inevitable when lit with a flashlight that can only see so far!
Last verse= of course Jesus, who simplified all this with two laws:You must love God(a higher source)and you must love your neighbor, on these two commandments the whole law hangs....(thus, the solution to disorder)
Well, what do YOU think?
"There's no jobs, police are corrupt, the goverment are connected to the mob and the Armenian race, to some point, has given up. THis is why the US seems like a heaven compared to Armenia." You realize you just described America?
