In "I'll Fight," I hear the word 'angry' instead of 'heavy'. Anyone else hear it that way as well? :blush

 

Aww, there's no need to worry

The captain cut in

The winds are less heavy

Over in Berlin

Ah, we're hearing something similar. I don't hear souls, at all. But I am hearing "our town." Or "our tale."

 

And might the verb be "size up"?

 

Just ignore us, everyone! Nothing to see here!

 

 

"sent to size up our (blank)"?

One Wing

 

We once belonged to a bird

Cast a shadow on this world

You were a blessing

And I was a curse

I did my best not to make things worse

For you

It isn't true

 

I always knew this would be our fate

This is what happens wings separate

This happens to all dead weight

Eventually

 

We may as well be made of stone

We can't be flown

One wing will never fly

Neither yours nor mine

I fear we can only wave goodbye

 

One wing

We'll never ever fly

Neither yours nor mine

 

One wing

Will never ever fly, dear

Neither yours nor mine

I fear we can only wave goodbye

 

One wing

Will never ever fly, dear

Neither yours not mine

I fear we can only wave goodbye

 

Bye Bye

Bye Bye

Bye Bye

Bye Bye

After wrestling still longer with that elusive line in "You Never Know", after "It's a long, heavy hell".....going way out on a limb here, but could it possibly be......

 

"Synthesizer Patel"? :brow

 

(google it)

It really sounds like "synthesizer" on both the album and 7WC versions, and damn if the 7WC version doesn't sound like "synthesizer patel." :brow That would be incredibly random...unless, you know, listening to Synthesizer Patel is the equivalent of a long, heavy hell?

In "One Wing" is it 'we' or 'wings?'

 

I always knew this would be our fate

This is what happens when we separate

This happens to all dead weight

Eventually

 

it's definitely "This is what happens when we separate" :)

i'm so in love with this song right now... great for singing/humming all day :dancing

Hmm. I hear "wings." I listened to the live version from Lolla and also heard "wings" there. Not only does the meaning work (obviously), but it works well up against "separate."

Current theory: "synthesize(?) up our tale" (NAPE)

I don't think these count as revelations, but (not that Donna hadn't confirmed it) yes on Synthesizer Patel. And I wasn't very close to the front for I'll Fight, but I'm standing by "gold" for now. "The gold as I was told for a place where my body could be laid."

I can't even remember why I felt "goal" made such perfect sense originally. "Gold" seems logical now, although I hear "...was a place..." (See that dead horse? I'm the one next to it, with the stick.)

I always hear Eminem's suburban gangsta flow in sonny feeling, if its him and her's, anyone wanna take a stab at lines meaning?
