What do these lryics mean?
This field guide’s got no soul
Digging for the sacred
In a man-made hole
The soil gets harder
The shovel won’t behave
I just dug myself
Into a six foot grave
I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize
The walks by faith
The sight lines lie
How am I gonna tag along
With one tin ear
And one glass eye?
Well I…
I can’t get there from here
When every sense is in mono
Walk by faith, you appear
I wanna live in stereo
I can’t get there from here
Without a God-directed go
Walk by faith, you appear
I’ve gotta live in stereo
I quit, I fold, I’m done
Trying to scale Everest
Sherpa-less
Ain’t fun
The best-laid plans
Are in my other pants
The base camp’s buried
In an avalanche
I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize
The walk’s by faith
The lone wolf dies
How am I gonna follow you
With blue man ears
And snow blind eyes?
The guy is too proud to live by faith in god, but wants to, as he sees as the life without faith is doomed to fail, and already has failed him.
Here’s another guy’s take on it: “Mono = 1 channel. Stereo = 2 channels (left and right speaker). Stereo is the 2 things combined instead of one. They’re comparing that to walking by faith, letting God lead your life, instead of you trying to do it yourself. ”
(Bleh. against everything i believe in, btw.)
jesus IS the sherpa, etc.
