I'd give this a 10+ if I could, such a powerful song.

I really like the sound these guys produce. The lyrics to this one however... don't quite do it for me.

still a solid 7. especially the end

Pearl Jam then Pink Floyd and then Porcupine Tree...

3 x double name, 3 x starting with P and 3 x great band

Is Bill trying to reach us with some subliminal message?

and again:
The Avett Brothers — The Once & Future Carpenter
Pearl Jam — Black
Pink Floyd — Marooned

Wow, we were just talking about this on that other Pink Floyd thread! What a coincidence. {#Liar}

Well, let's take a look at the lyrics and decide...

This means out
This is your way out
Do or drown
Do or drown in torpor

Leave no trace
All my files erased
Burn my clothes
Burn my Prada trainers

Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's leave forever

This is fate
This is your escape
Leave here now
Leave here like it's over

Let's sleep together right now
Relieve the pressure somehow
Switch off the future right now
Let's leave forever

Sounds like a suicide pact to me- I'm thinking a Heaven's Gate cult suicide pact reference here. Great song, btw.




..i dunno..could also read it as escaping consumerism (Prada) & contemp society/standard expectations (off the grid/"all my files erased")..

..the sleeping together is just another form of escape..living in that sexual moment away..

..just a thought..prolly off base..

Another example of, erm, 'linguistic diversity' either side of the Pond. Over this Eastern side, the verb "to toss" has a rather different colloquial meaning from that which you mean :o)

Geez!!! I came on the site (listening on my home stereo in the background) to rate this a 10 and discovered I had already done that! {#Embarassed}

Sadly I can neither vote this up to 11 nor turn it up to 11. I'll just sit here quietly and love it as the 10 it is.
