taste is this moment,” this line is saying that he lives for the moments he
is with her. He doesn’t think about the past or future, just the present
time he spends with her. I’m convinced that this guy is really in love
with her. This song is so moving it makes you believe that this really is

With this love, there is tragedy. “And you can’t fight the tears
that ain’t coming, or the moment of truth in your lies.” This line is the
saddest part of the whole song. The reality of the two not being able to
be together suddenly hits .....

Yes-ish prog-rock to boot, all of which staggers around a bit and then proceeds to fall flat on its sunburnt face.
Silverchair's leader Daniel Johns has been thinking long and hard about what's happening today, and through he's made a killing off the record biz and never has to work another day in his life, he's decided to lead a youth revolt against "overweight peo .....
