| 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 | |
