| a picture: two worlds, living one within the other, but both simultaneously hating and ignoring the other. People from one world never visit the other. Now consider that you're in one world and you're told so many times you're convinced that you've got it better, so much better than the other world and that the other world NEEDS what you have. But you also know that the other world is evil, and you should never go there. In fact, you reject anyone who might get lost from that world and find his way to your doorstep. You also reject anyone who has visited that other world but lives in yours. You just go on happily condemning the other world while you live in your own. That's the picture i think of when i hear this song. The two worlds are the worlds of christianity and the rest of the world. Christians (as a whole) know they've got something, but dont want to venture to the world because it's evil. That's why i see the first part of the song as the christians' view of the world, and the bridge (together we are so ugly with rejection but to our eyes we're the ones shimmering) is an introspective at christianity. A great reminder that we cant live in two seperate distinct worlds. Now that we are not alone you know that we could never be. | |

| I can get with that explanation. I also may introduce a slightly different way to interperet it. While it's true that the Christian world is often scared to step out into the secular world to reach out to it, the same meaning can be paralleled in this song for the other world. The secular world often does not want to come out of its "safe haven." Many people in this world believe that they are just fine right where they are and they don't want to move or change a thing, they're just content doing what they do on a daily basis. Nobody knows, nobody cares, nobody bothers to see what's beyond what they already have, to see if maybe there's more. I think both applications work well, since this is obviously such a deep,multi-layered song. This song is, in my opinion, the best on the CD, I just love it. It may be my favorite Project song ever, in fact. It's just that good. Like denmil said, if you don't have this CD, get it. It's one of the best CD's I've ever heard in my life. | |

| I agree 110% with estocopath "Together we are so, so ugly with rejection But to our, our eyes we, we're the ones shimmering I've unplugged the wires from your spine At first you'll be afraid But we will be so content And we Will live. Again" When I hear that I think of a Matrix feel as well. The singer has 'wakened' someone up from the mainstream world and.. yeah | |
