yep! you know it!

That's what I first heard, and for me, it fits perfectly.

the whole inset idea of religion that true life is spirtual, and celestial, and whatnot. Way up there. unreachable.

bullshit.

Our lives are here on the ground and I will find my higher purpose down here.

I can see where you could hear the "r" sound in the word after unconditional, but "one" sounds the closest.

I think it's more like this:

"High is the way" means that getting into heaven is the goal.

"but our lives are upon the ground" coupled with "you were the light and the way they'll only read about. I only pray god knows when to lift you out" means that our actions hear on the ground are, or should be, just as important as the desire to get into heaven.

I've never agreed with this lyric

"high as a wave but ill rise on up off/on the ground"


I think it's -

"high is the way but all eyes are upon the ground"

Any opinion

I'm new here, but I'm with Iota on "our lives are upon the ground."
It refers back to the first stanza, when the rivers overrun...we don't "rise to the height of our halo."

However, on the last line, I hear "unconditional love", which would make sense, considering he's talking about his mother. And who, besides possibly our dogs, gives us more unconditional love than our mother?

Nice, clean comparison. No really. The idea comes through. It's just kinda funny.

But I still think it's unconditional one.

This is definitely one of the most emotionally moving songs ever!!! A friend of mine and I are debating over the line:

High as a wave, but I'll rise on up off the ground.

Which could also be:

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground

here's what i hear, just some fine tuning of the version that's posted to the lyrics section... i really feel that it's accurate.

this song is inspirational to the point of life changing...



Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.
How we rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior,
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations;
None of us have actually been there.
Not like you...


Ignorant feelings in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me....
None of them could even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choice these hypocrites won't see...

But, enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine...

And this little light of mine, the gift you passed on to me;
I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way,
Your way home ...

Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they going to do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?

High as a wave, but I'll rise on up off the ground.
You are the light and the way, that they'll only read about.
I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough, you're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
"I have come home now...
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my, give me my wings!"

give me my
give me my
give me my
give me my
give me my
Give me my wiiiings!
...

You are the light, the way, that they will only read about...

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light...
Please forgive this bold suggestion:
Should you see your Maker's face tonight...
Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one.
Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home..."





amazing... anyone think that we'll EVER see it live. i doubt it, but how awe inspiring would that be as an encore maybe???

I'm pretty sure he's saying:

"Ignorant flippants in the congregation"

just my 2 cents.


flip·pant adj.
1. Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness; pert.
2. Archaic. Talkative; voluble.

This has been suggested before, and criticised before on the grounds that "flippant" is (as per your definition) an *adjective* rather than a noun as the line requires.
Even so, I think "flippants" is still possible as I can hear an initial "fl-" sound. Sounds like "flibbers / flippers" to me, though I suspect the correct lyric is "fibbers" being made to sound like "flibbers" by some kind of distortion.

it's really not that difficult to play the kazoo... I think TOOL could be helped out in this area (as could most other bands) as there is an extreme lack of kazoo-ing and kazoo sounds in rock 'n' roll.
