well....hmm. it sounds to me like he's getting veeery slightly annoyed at someone who is very slow to make a decision or do..erm..something. yeh a certain shade of green as in a traffic light. he's saying they're being soooo slow that they probably wouldn't even go if they saw a green light...but wait for a certain shade...ahhaaaah. yeh, i'm BAD at explaining things.

Gobsow hit it right on the head, this is definitely not about marijuana, why do you think there are all the driving allusions? He's talking about a street light, not a certain shade of leaf.

to me its about people who sit back and wait for stuff to be handed to them and he is saying do u have a voice and oppinion. Can u take ur own advice and go your own way. In no way is this song about drugs to me the only referance is green but green is also a calm color and not just always weed. he says certain shade of green and to me that means his calm and somewhat doaist life style

yea i agree... i think the certain shade of green is supposed to make u think of the green light as go, and it is about how ppl wait around too long and miss oportunities and what not. and he is saying that why are u still waiting around when you know you should move forward... or do what you are hesitant about doing... thas just my opinion thou
