This whole album was basically to criticize the corporate world. If you ask me though, this is one of few bands who only made one good album but were good enough to make another one and extend their careers. New Radicals made good music, they shouldn't have quit so soon. Same with like Liz Phair, Remy Zero, and Seven Mary Three.
Drinking won't get you anywhere....being a hippie won't get you anywhere..and what the hell is the point of this song? is he trying to say that drinking is okay?
i remember my first girlfriend gave me this cd cuz i loved the video (back when MTV was playing some good music) and the whole thing blew me away. i still love it today, just as much, or more.
anyway... yeah, he definitely says "honesty" where the lyrics in the video say "LSD"
@werthSadhill maybe you should stop to wait..but maybe u should ask yourself if it´s worth to fuck the memories u associate with this song, probably it´s all u have..
no, from what i've interpreted, its about how his love is a lie but in a good way.
'as real as the flowers you smoke to get high, as real as our god who once spoke of how we could fly' > theres a positive in the lies... like how untrue things are when we're high and yet we're eased when we're high... like how untrue it is that we could fly and yet it makes us strive harder and attempt our best to...
One of the best break up songs ever made. " I love you, you hate me, I took math class ain't a fair exchange" is pretty powerful late at night drunk and sobbing over a disastrous love that ended in flames.
Just bought the album a few weeks ago. It has been years since I first heard it. Heard the album everywhere I went, but never owned it myself until now. Well worth it. Wherever you guys are, make another album!
aaaahhh....bliss:) alexandar is a genius...so sensual & euphoric:) beautiful song.....i will ruin my future husband...if he doesn't plays this song on our wedding day:p
he is talking about a girl who pretends to be quiet(innocent) but he figures out that she is not that innocent, and not even can´t hide her experience in her eyes (maybe they reflect a good soul)
This song is so good!! I love every song on this cd.I guess the only one that I am not really high on is maybe you been brainwashed. this CD is incredible!
Gregg you are a genius , i like all your music . when you return man ?

@jasonsimmee I think most of his "love" songs are about two broken people connecting or trying to connect. That's what the song is about.

New Radicals pretty much was Gregg. If you look at the liner notes on the CD, I don't think any musician played on more than 3-4 songs.
