"Guide my love right in too / in two / into (you) ."

My love could be his love, or his Love (as in a person).

I used to hate this song. It took me almost a year to be able to appreciate it. Now I see what everyone was talking about when they said it was one of the best on the record.

Every time I listen to this chorus...

*shakes head confoundedly*

...I don't know, I curse Maynard for this one. ;) It defines awsome. That non-slang type of awsome. The one that should be used on rare occasion, like for this song.

*slinks away having said nothing* :(




Peace.

This is the song I'd really like to see the officials on....I've been away from this board for a long time and still this one hasn't come out...but I feel really strongly about the "Live tonight/lift an eye" line...(the chorus, I'm still not sure of)
I really must say that its "Lift an eye to heaven, conscious...."
I really can't believe we are still talking about this....

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over your lie, over blood, over anything
Fight over love, over sun, over nothing
Fight till they die,
(Ahhh!) over what? for their ending

After listening to live versions of this song I'm pretty damn sure that the last word in this verse is "rising", not ending like the lyrics say. I also think he might start the song with "Fight 'til they die" instead of "Fight over clouds". But I'm not positive on that one. I am however on that last line. It's rising.

I reckon Maynard deliberately slurred all the words and obfuscated the meaning slightly so we'd all be thinking so hard about it, and just maybe take on board the message.

[Cutting it all right in two
/ Cut it all right in two]
/ Cutting our love right in two]

I think he is singing:
Got to divide it all right in two (x4)

I don't hear "our love" at all.

Thanks,

i'm having trouble buying these two lines. u don't "live" in heaven, so i doubt maynard would use that; not that i presume to know what the hell maynard's thinking. and why would he change from a third-person perspective into a first-person perspective on the "fight for me" line? that doesn't make sense. did he suddenly change into the devil's point of view? i doubt that.

Definately GOTTA DIVIDE IT ALL RIGHT IN TWO, but I think "cut it all" might be over the top of it on the album version.

Cutting Our love right in two.

It is easiest for me to hear this during the last repition of the chorus...although I'd admit it does sound different here then in other spots.

I downloaded a recording of this show live at OKC from 5-19 and you can CLEARLY hear Maynard's vocals during the part toward the end. It's:

"Fight til they die, over sun, over sky,
They fight til they die over air, over ground,
And fight til they die over blood, over love
They fight til they die over words, over [lies they....]"

The only part that is even remotely hard to hear is that last part in brackets, due to that weird sound effect that hits just before that. It may be "lies they..." or it may be "rising..." or it may be "horizon...". One of the three. Everything else I am 110% absolutely positive--it's quite clear on this recording.

Seriously, I've listened to it a couple more times, and I'm pretty sure this is what he's saying. The angels on the sidelines are asking the question "are the humans too far gone to dig themselves out of this hole they've dug?" Is this constant fighting and dividing going to split the race right in two (between those who have "learned to swim" and those who have not)? The humans, who have free will, use it to forge a blade and cut themselves.

So,
are they cutting it (themselves, the whole race) light, or right in two?

And with the last line Maynard answers the question: Right In Two

The only thing about the live gigs is he changes the lyrics. I've listened to two different recordings on youtube and they're noticeably different to the album, even though the words aren't all that clear to begin with on the album.

After listening to several different live versions:

Fight, till they die, over sun, over sky,
Fight, till they die, over air, over ground,
they fight, till they die, over blood, over love,
they fight, till they die, over words or (of) their rising.

The last part (words of their rising) is the only part I'm not 100% on.

Thanks.

My two cents...

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

***

(quietly behind the guitar he mutters "over" about 7 times before it starts)

Fight for their clan, over earth, over sky.
They fight over life, over blood, over air and light,
over love, over some, over none.
They fight or they die, over words.
Over writing!

I listened to a live version on youtube and this is what I got.


They fight til they die,
Over sun, over sky.
They fight til they die,
Over land, over air.
They fight til they die,
Over blood, over love.
They fight til they die,
Over words, over writing.


The album sounds like:

They fight til they die,
over earth, over sky.
They fight over life, over ground, over air and light,
over love, over sun, over nothing.
They fight til they die? For what? For their rising.



Two entirely different things. They sound completely different.

Re: 10 - Right In Two lyrics

I listened to a live version on youtube and this is what I got.


They fight til they die,
Over sun, over sky.
They fight til they die,
Over land, over air.
They fight til they die,
Over blood, over love.
They fight til they die,
Over words, over writing.


The album sounds like:

They fight til they die,
over earth, over sky.
They fight over life, over ground, over air and light,
over love, over sun, over nothing.
They fight til they die? For what? For their rising.

Yea, Maynard messes with the lyrics live, I wouldn't go by those when trying to decipher the real lyrics.

As for the [Cut it all, cutting it all, cutting our love] part, none of that sounds right when I listen to the song. I hear an "L" sound where the "T" would be in [cut/cutting]. Except that doesn't make sense in the lyrics.....

Damn.

I really think that he sings:

Fight over cloud, over earth, over sky,
Fight over life, over blood, over air and light,
Fight over love, over sun, over nothing,
Fight til they die, over what, over lies and greed.

This song is 1 of the best on the album and is mindblowing live.

I just sing some words that fit with a dash of mild gibberish evertime I hear the song.
It works.

The angels described are not baffled and confused in the sense you mean it. You seem to imply they are confused in some 'general' way. But, quite rationally, they are merely confused by us humans, because our ways are so insane and incomprehensible. How and why do we live like this? This is what the angels cannot work out. But the entire point of this song is conveyed precisely because the angels are able to see this madness for what is is. They are the rational voice of the song.

angels on the sideline again picture love with patience and reason'

'crying about it all right in two'

the crying part makes sense cuz of the angles being sad, or somthing like that

i used to love this song getting the gist of it but now when i listen to how indistinct some parts are it's just so frustrating! i think the last part of the "fight over" sequence on the album anyway, is "for horizon" though. "over writing" makes more sense going with the "fight over words" part but it definitely sounds different on the album one...

Ok, that line near the end definitely has to be "pendulum of patience and reason". Gotta swing back and forth between those, maybe?
