I'm obsessed with lyrics, and I'm really wondering what the heck these ones mean. They seem pretty obvious in the beginning, but then it gets wierd. Let's see...here it goes.

God of Wine by Third Eye Blind

Every fault that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin
To get clean again?
Can we get clean again?

I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
We can't get clean again!
I wanna know...can't we get clean again?

The God of Wine comes crashing through the headlights of the car that
Took you farther than you thought you'd ever wanna go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again

She takes a drink, and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way
and cancel out the day


I can't keep it all together
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I can't keep it all together


And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone on your face

Every glamourous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
The star signs out of whack
A fraudulant zodiac
And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
And know I'm going down
And you're not even around
And I say no no no no no no no no...


I can't keep it all together
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I can't keep it all together


And there's a memory of a window
Looking through, I see you
Searching for something I could never give you
And there's someone who understands you more than I do
The sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face

See, in the beginning, it seems he's talking about just a girl who's an alcoholic, and she gets drunk, then passes out and stuff. But then he goes into the whole thing about the sunrise knocking everything out of whack. It's kind of like "What?" It doesn't even seem to go with the rest of the song. Anyway, that was just interesting. I'm sure it has relevance to the rest of the song, I just don't get it. Maybe I will. I'll try. :-) Oh, and if anyone who reads this happens to know what it means, pretty please tell me. :-D
