this fits to a T:

Given Kowalczyk’s history as a songwriter, it’s easy to give him the benefit of the doubt. As the lead vocalist of Live, Kowalczyk’s righteous fury and earnest, searching spirit earned the band a devoted group of fans left behind by Seattle’s grime. “Lightning Crashes” is one of the few lasting anthems of the ‘90s, a “Circle of Life”-style parable that actually comes across as sincere and authentic thanks largely to the vivid imagery of Kowalczyk’s lyrics.

The benefit of the doubt should allow us to see “Drive” as an aberration. And we do, until “Drink (Everlasting Love)” arrives with a refrain that is every bit as awful as “Drive”:

Now I’ll drink you like water
Drink you like freedom
Drink you like the nectar that falls from Eden

Drink you like water
Drink you like the everlasting love


So…you drink freedom? You drink “everlasting love”? Is Eden in the sky? Why is nectar falling from it?

What in God’s name is Kowalczyk talking about?

now after the fire is in his ears and he sees the pitchforks at his back...he gives us this!!!

RISE-

Oh!
Fighters on the ridge
Takin' their aim at me
and scaring off my kin
I won't run away
I'm gonna stand my ground
no matter what it takes
Posse on the way
bringin' a ball and chain to hang around my leg

Can we rise?
Can we fly?
Just to fall out of the sky
Like a shooting star burning in the night
Oh, how high we climb
Do we fall?
Just to spin out of control
Anything is better than feeling paralysed
Oh, when we rise

Oh
Fighters on the ridge
They got it out for me
and looking for revenge
I did nothing wrong
I'm gonna stand my ground
and show them who is strong
Posse on the way
Cover their tracks by night to move on me by day

Can we rise?
Can we fly?
Just to fall out of the sky
Like a shooting star burning in the night
Oh, how high we climb
Do we fall?
Just to spin out of control
Anything is better than feeling paralysed
Oh, when we rise

<guitar solo>

Can we rise?
Can we fly?
Just to fall out of the sky
Like a shooting star burning in the night
Oh, they came to fight
but they will fall
and the glory of the Lord
will shine like blinding light
in their wicked eyes
Oh, in their wicked eyes

jsut remember this......

they were at their collective best when they performed this to tape!!



Rythym section, lyrics, cohesiveness, magic.....perfection......

Agreed, she does have a tendency to do that to threads. Thanks for reposting, now everyone can see that to go from MJ level lyrics to this.. yeah, there's no mistake Ed's lyrical writing skills have diminished over the years. You only have to read so much to see it. la la de da... indeed
