Post subject: | Into the Light lyrics |
Please feel free to contribute and help with the lyrics. I know it's the first time the songs have been played and they might be more clearer/understandable/change as the guys get more experience playing them over time. Everything I got so far is just a guess, so if you see any mistakes I posted please correct me. The parts I definitely am unsure of are in yellow (and are totally farfetched ![]() I will update this post as we try to figure more out. Into the Light Once you’ve drawn the line, you can’t think twice You would never take your own advice Skating on a grave that’s paved with rice You step into the light How can I be sure if this is a sure thing I’m so tangled up in puppeteers’ strings Once you’ve crossed the line You’re stepping into Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Once you’ve crossed the line You can’t let go Never go out, I have been alone Skating on a grave that’s made of stone You step into the light You better be sure that this is a sure thing As a puppet on a string Once you’ve crossed the line You’re stepping into Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Once you’ve crossed the line, you can’t think twice You’re looking out of Chasing sirens, red lights change No time left to kill Waving flags of fine drawn lines Find a cheaper thrill This is a sure thing Once you’ve crossed the line You step into the light You step into the light Breaking horses, raising cain heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Waving flags of macho life (much of your life) Find a cheaper plan |

Maybe this sounds crazy, but for the ????? I keep hearing "Breaking horses, raising Cain". Anybody else want to weigh in on this one? -Carrie |

Well, at least there's two of us hearing crazy lyrics. I've been listening to this one a lot this afternoon (it's officially my new favorite of theirs - can't wait to hear it in a clearer recording - I just hope it doesn't lose its spark in a studio version). I've only got two more tweaks to suggest for the lyrics, because I just can't make out anything else clearly. I'm pretty sure it's heading (not headed) for the hills, and instead of chasing silence, I keep hearing the line chasing sirens, red lights change. But I could be wrong. You know, I think somebody should just get on the horn to Dave & ask him to send us a copy of the lyrics...this is going to drive me nuts now...lol. |

Okay, Jim - I've listened to it a few more times today, and here are my final thoughts (these lyrics have been driving me nuts, to quote a terrible Dave joke). I'm pretty sure now that "into the light" is some kind of reference to settling down/maturing, something along those lines. The "grave that's made of rice" would make a really funny metaphor for getting married (I know it's a stretch but people do still throw rice at weddings...). I think the breaking horses and chasing sirens part refers to single life/sowing wild oats. I'm still not sure "macho flag" is right, but it fits the theme, and if I listen to just Dan's vocals, I swear that's what I hear. -Carrie Into the Light Once you’ve drawn the line, You can’t think twice You would never take your own advice Skating on a grave that’s paved with rice You step into the light How can I be sure if this is a sure thing I’m so tangled up in puppeteers’ strings Once you’ve crossed the line You’re stepping into Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Once you’ve crossed the line You can’t let go Never go out, I have been alone Skating on a grave that’s made of stone You step into the light You better be sure that this is a sure thing As a puppet on a string Once you’ve crossed the line You’re stepping into Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Once you’ve crossed the line, you can’t think twice You’re looking out of Chasing sirens, red lights change No time left to kill [Waving flags of macho life Find a cheaper thrill This is a sure thing Once you’ve crossed the line You step into the light You step into the light Breaking horses, raising cain heading for the hills The best day ever just got better, it gets better still Waving flags of macho life Find a cheaper plan |

I'm not sure about the rice thing, but I do like the metaphor (although you might be right) ![]() For "find a macho plan" I thought it might have been "much [of] your life" but it definitely sounds like what you said, even for both times it's sung in the song. This video just posted on YouTube, some of the lyrics are a little different than the recordings, but I don't hear anything noticeable enough to make a change to what we've got. The only really different thing is the lyrics starting at 1:44 (which I think is an error on Dave's part... they're still learning ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHVl9mzhYNI Unlike the Mankato show, Dave does repeat the "puppeteers' strings" lyric (not puppets) in the video. I'm just gonna keep going with the lyrics for the recordings unless something stands out in the video and/or we get a little clear version. Thanks a bunch for the help. ![]() |

I got one sheet of lyrics out of four from the NJ concert on 9/11. Here is what is on my sheet. Breaking Horses, raising cain Heading for the hills The best day ever just got better it gets better still Waving flags of fine drawn lines Find a cheaper thrill. |
