yeah, In Reverie is a beautiful album. You didn't honestly believe that STD wouldn't change throughout all these years. It would have been very sad if they didn't. anyway, I think this song is either about God or about having faith in politicians. But I really think it's about God. He refers to wars and working to earn a living and just stuff that's going on today. And then he says "But i'm driving in the dark towards you/ Not stopping 'till I catch the sunlight in my eyes." I mean, that's what people basically do when they believe in God.

those of you that think in reverie wasn't as good as swya i would have to agree but it is still a great album and i think the change is good. and am i the only one who has seen an error in the lyrics. isn't it supposed to be 'HAVING heard the news" in the third line instead of 'HAVEN'T'

I'm a simple mind and my first assumption is that it's about a girl, but the specifics aren't that important, I guess. The verses describe a scene of confusion and turmoil [kind of like the whole 'Sound the Alarm' album]. The helicopters and the chimps on TV [reporters with bad news] and what not are balanced by driving in the dark, leaving the comotion for something or someone who calms the minds.

yeah great song. and i agree with savestheweez. definately about finding happiness and leaving the darkness/sadness behind. i think chris is turning into a hippie which isn't a bad thing.

This is the only song from in reverie i can stand. God, through being cool was soooo good, why have they gone downhill so much? SWYA was ok at best, but most of this album is just pathetic. Cmon guys. Don't do this to me.

"Life leaks from you fingertips onto sparkling pavement" Almost a leak you can't control...
