this is gonna be a long explanation... the song makes sense if you think about their spiritual beliefs. mainly in this song its buddhism. in buddhism theres rules kind of like the 10 commandments, but theyre not rules in the sense that you HAVE to follow them, theyre there if you want to achieve enlightenment. pretty much the rules are 1: life will contain suffering 2: suffering is caused not by the object you desire, but by the desire itself 3: the suffering can end 4: learning to not desire those things will end your suffering thats a basic explanation of the 4 noble truths. now, for the song, the first sentence is "unlearn me, ditch what i read, behind what i heard" its difficult for me to explain, but in buddhism, youre not supposed to cling to any desire or material object or anything at all that exists, because absense of that thing will cause pain. so to do that, you must "unlearn" everything, and eventually even unlearn what you learned in becoming buddhist... to be totally free, no attatchment whatsoever. thats what he means "from here on its instinctual" instinct is doing something without prior knowledge of it, like something you unlearned. im nearly positive that this song is about buddhism having read a lot into it a little while back. also, the "crow left of the murder" thing, just to add if you look in the inside cd booklet, theres apicture of a flock or "murder" of crows flying one way and one "left" with a hole through it like it was "murdered" a BIG play on words there.

The first thing you should know about this song is the title. A flock of crows is called a "murder." So if you are a "crow left of the murder" you are the one that doesn't fly with the flock. Meaning, you are living your life for yourself instead of just following society.

I believe this song has to do with finding yourself in life and doing what you want. Like if your life was being planned by your parents and you decided to do what you want, even though your not sure what that is at the time.

i agree with pt_mcb. it's like not giving a damn about what he learned in school or what was taught to him by his family (ditch what i read/behind what i heard), but going out to find out for himself what he was taught. even if he screws up, it's still good. he'll manage, anyway (even straight roads meander). he's going to follow his heart, mind, and instincts (from here on, it's instinctual) and experience things his own way to find out what he wants to know/see. every step he takes and ever mistake he makes will get him closer and closer to finding out the truth (every piece contains a map of it all). i just don't know what 'a crow left of the murder' is meaning. anyone know?
