This song has a nice individualistic message. I think their hearts are in the right place but some of the lyrics are questionable. The first four lines don’t make much sense because your mind is not something to be owned. And I’m not sure if he means that you can only own your own mind and no one else’s, or if he means that the only thing you can own is your mind, and that material possessions are not important (the context of those four lines having to do with the selfish “buying” themselves time). There are some pretty nice lines in this song as well. What do you guys think of this song, lyrics wise? Lyrics and video are posted below.
The selfish, they’re all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind
The North is to South what the clock is to time
There’s east and there’s west and there’s everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I’ll die
The in between is mine
I am mine
And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There’s no need to hide
We’re safe tonight
The ocean is full 'cause everyone’s crying
The full moon is looking for friends at hightide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow’s denied
I only know my mind
I am mine
And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There’s no need to hide
We’re safe tonight
And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocents broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
(We may need to hide)
And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We’re all different behind the eyes
There’s no need to hide
