| i think meesahunt made a really good point. the last quote, "but my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth," for example could mean that when he is performing he is either deafened by the speakers or he has ear plugs and he can't hear what is coming out of his mouth, which are his thoughts expressed through his songs. also, he mentions how he's barely in one place long enough to go "to the porch to have a thought" before he's off to the next town. however, "you still got your words [songs] and you got your friends [band members]." then "moths beat themselves to death against the lights / Adding their breeze to the summer nights" much like his band repeatedly plays the same songs over and over in order to share their art with the everyone, even if it's only a little 'breeze' in the world of music. | |

| Just about living on a whim and living freely, but not in the tone it is usually spoken about with. A dark undertone is there saying how he almost is just searching for something, and will keep floating and drifting. I love the line "The moths beat themselves to death against the lights." because he knows that he is just searching for something he will never get to and something he thinks will bring happiness, but he'll never get it. However he doesnt really care, he'd rather go on killing himself looking for bliss. | |

| Not only does this song sound awesome, but it freakihly mirrors my life. The overall song, about floating around and such, but also little things that are personal jokes between friends that also fit...the first time I heard it I was just astounded. | |

| As someone that is trying to get out of place that I am not happy in, this song hits at many different levels. And just shows how Brock is the best lyricist in the world. | |
