That's why Brittany sells 50 billion albums. Fans of Britney Spears are not musically sensed and they eat that shit faster than pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner. By that comes my cosmetic mathematical judgment. I think there is an ingrained acceptance to digest shit known as "music" and the truly artistic and musically talented ones are left to rot on the vine. They think these are guys are strange and won't give them a second look. That doesn't mean a non-fan has done what I have done. But, I threw my initial thoughts and perceptions to the side and I came back with a greater appreciation for them. ![]() When I heard these guys at first, I thought they were from Hell. Maybe the heads at Columbia thought these boys were freaky and from another plane of existance. These guys could never transcend to a wider fanbase and I don't know why that is. Even after Layne Staley died, I haven't heard of a huge ground swell of support for AIC. I really don't know what the hell "mainstream" means much like I am not sure what the hell "selling out" means. These definitions we throw around are broad and poorly-defined. It's seems if they got any mass attention at all, then they are mainstream. That is just the way i personally relate to it and interpret it. it is as if you are sitting in shadows quietly, feeling this apathetic darkness towards all of the activity going on in the light, and not wanting to step out into it because the darkness has become a sort of comfort zone, and you aren't sure if it is worth leaving it behind, no matter how irrational and negative that might seem- "I'm just see through faded, super jaded, and out of my mind". I also feel that there is emotional conflict in it, that these feelings are terrible, and you would like to be rid of them for happiness, but not liking the way the people around you are acting, so you stay unhappy- "do what you wanna do, go out and seek your truth, when I'm down and blue, rather be me than you". I feel like it means that you know you are surrounded by positive things that you can focus on, but you stay negative inside, unable to help it, and it feels terrible- "like the coldest winter chill, heaven beside you, hell within". Seeing people going through their own experiences, and knowing what they are doing, and understanding what they are talking about, but feeling very apathetic towards it, weather its something that you know is something you may approve or disapprove of. To me, personally, this song is about being emotionally exhausted, or being in a very dark place inside, and how you see the activity of the people around you. ![]() ![]() And you think you have it still, heaven inside youĪnd you wish you had it still, heaven inside youĪnd you know you have it still, heaven inside you
