I Will Lead You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

come along take a ride
across the sky for an hour
leave your mind take your soul
fill the hole with flowers
from the lake through the trees
in the streets for the powder
in the creed for the breeze
I gotta place for this power

cause I am alive
cause I am alive

I will lead you for awhile
take you place to place
bring you to this find
see you face to face

come along to this place
take your sympathy with your symphony
see the stench a wonderful wench
its a perfect kiss its the real thing
see the pitch its the greatest of hits
its a missing with the wishing
atleast you caught a smile when you caught the while
when you did this kissing

cause I am alive
cause I am alive

I will lead you for awhile
take you place to place
bring you to this find
see you face to face
see you face to face
face to face
see you face to face
face to face
see you face to face




face to face
see you face to face

Come along take a ride
Across the sky for an hour
Leave your mind, take your soul
Fill the hole with flowers

From the lake through the trees
In the streets for the powder
In the creed for the freeze
I gotta place for this power

Cause I am a lie
Cause I am a lie

I will lead you for awhile
Take you place to place
Bring you to this pyre
See you face to face

Come along to this flick
Take your sympathy with your symphony
See this dish a wonderful wish
It's a perfect kiss it's the real thing
See the pitch it's the greatest of hits
It's the missing with the wishing
At least you caught a smile when you coughed a while
When you did this kissing

Cause I am a lie
Cause I am a lie

I will lead you for awhile
Take you place to place
Bring you to this pyre
See you face to face

See you face to face
I will lead you
Face to face
See you face to face
I will lead you
Face to face
Yeah
See you face to face
I will lead you
Face to face
See you face to face
Yeah

strong life // be wild

Filter is solely responsible for motivating me to practice guitar 8 hours a day as a teen 20-something years ago.

Daniel Luna

I had a Korg Pandora , and would get a lot of close sounds to this record .
Learned and stole lots of riffs from this , one of my most favorite guitar recordings ever πŸ€˜πŸ˜‡πŸŽΈ

MonkeyMike Outdoors

🀘

Sam Sandilla

Still a great album, after all these years.

Jason Barrett

This album is one of the greats

NewYorkRush

This album is the embodiment of sounding simultaneously badass and beautiful

VexedPidgeon

Years later from high school they still motivate me.

Not Sure

This album is as if "Freak Show" by Silverchair and "Broken" by NIN had a baby.

Scott P.

This album reminds me of being a senior in highschool and driving with my friends from Seattle to Vancouver BC because we could drink in the bars. We must've done this half a dozen times my senior year. This was pre 9/11, and even though we weren't 19 (drinking age in Canada) we never got turned down for service. Good times!! That shit would never fly these days. But when I listen to songs on this album it takes me back to the days before people in North America collectively shoved a stick right up their asses.
