its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Rays driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
And I'm feeling, so good, so
The fish in the sea
You know how I feel
Live and run free
You know how I feel
The lights are on the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new day, it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I need
But flies on having fun
You know what I need
Sleep in peace when the day is done
That's what I need
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world for me
Oh, you know just how I feel
It's a new day, it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Say you know how I feel
Say you know how I feel
Freedom is
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Rays driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
And I'm feeling, so good, so
The fish in the sea
You know how I feel
Live and run free
You know how I feel
The lights are on the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new day, it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I need
But flies on having fun
You know what I need
Sleep in peace when the day is done
That's what I need
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world for me
Oh, you know just how I feel
It's a new day, it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Say you know how I feel
Say you know how I feel
Freedom is

Corpse I Fell In Love With

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
