************************************************************************
* Note: You may have noticed that in the verse that the 16 on the "G"  *
*      string sounds the same as 14 on the "A" string only in a higher *
*      pitch. This is because the 16 is the same note as the 14 only   *
*      an octave higher. Throughout the different verses they change   *
*      between those two notes. But because they are the same note you * 
*      don't have to. My point is that the verse I have writen down    *
*      doesn't stay exactly the same but if you just stick with that   *
*      one it still sounds right because they're the same notes, just  *
*      an octave high or low.                                          *

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Eric Average	#1 by Eric Zinkhon at Sep 9, 1976 at 2:20 AM EST
	This is how I see the song... "Zenith" means something at its highest point... like either a celestial body at its highest point in the "heavens" or someone at their highest point. So I think it's about someone who is depressed, or going through a depressed time and needs someone there with them.. not necissarily to cheer them up, but just to be there and make sure things don't go too far ("much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that leash"), because what they're going happens all the time and it's good for them("it's healthy if not for long") I think the "frozen man" refers to someone who is "emotionally frozen" so they don't feel anything, but it's not good to be like that and "someone somewhere has to cry" and the cycle that he sings about is the depression that person is in, but is saying to go ahead and let it run its course, it's not going to hurt anyone.... and finally, I think that the end part where he sings "I love how you let me fall under but not to far I love how you let me fall only now I see where we are hold me" is the person going through this talking to their friend, letting them know that they like how they let them get that way, but they are always there in case it gets really bad.... I don't know.... just my thoughts on it....

	This is easily the best song on Naveed...the way he uses his voice is fucking brilliant

No Picture Simon (Si) Lead Player	#3 by Simon (Si) Brown at Apr 27, 1982 at 3:49 AM EST
	I think this song is about a drug addict. I dunno what Zenith is, but the line "were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die." Really means something. The "cycle" obviously refers to drug addiction. "sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry," implies that the persons sleepying on the street, and just generally has a pretty messed up life.

	I just think this song is fucking brilliant. Lyrics open for interpretation, vocals kick ass. Correction: 'under but not TOO far' ;)

No Picture Gladis Wanna Be	#5 by Gladis McHumphry at Mar 2, 1994 at 9:50 PM EST
	I think this song is about a relationship. 'maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone one day you'll find me sending their message strong.' I think this refers to a 'break up'- you know, the kind where Brad and Britney break up, get back together, break up, get back together, ad nauseum. 'under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky we're under zenith again, it's healthy if not for long.' The guy feels absolutely shitty about how they're always breaking up, because his girlfriend is the one always doing it. Once again, the couple is 'under zenith' (the highest point), and perhaps it healthy to get away from each other for a while, but once again they're get back together and continue to unstable relationship. 'much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that leash.' The guy starts getting very depressed after a week, perhaps because it's unusual to break that long or that's the way he is. But his best friend tries to help him to break up with his girlfriend for good. His best friend yanks on the leash his girlfriend has him on, trying to snap the guy into action. 'sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die.' The guy is 'frozen' because he doesn't seem to realize the damage the relationship is doing to him. So someone, a friend perhaps, has to cry out the reality of the situation. But he's convinced she'll take him back, that their relationship won't 'die'. 'I love how you let me fall under but not to far I love how you let me fall only now I see where we are hold me.' I think this refers to the guy's psyche- he secretly thrives on being treated like crap from some reason.
