Third and Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's got it all planned out
A big farm house outside of town
Well I'm states away
Singing things I'd never say
And I thought we were too different
And maybe I was right
And even though I thought I moved on
I would move back tonight
I didn't think about our future
Or the past we threw away
Cause every moment spent with you
Is forever in a day
And I thought I'd like this city
But I need you to feel right
And I would give it all
For a minute of time
And I need something else
I tried to find someone myself
But they take away
Everything they used to say
And I thought that we were special
And I hope that I was right
Even though I thought I moved on
I would move back tonight
I didn't think about our future
Or the past we threw away
Cause every moment spent with you
Is forever in a day
And I thought I'd like this city
But I need you to feel right
And I would give it all
For a minute of time
And I thought you were a phase
But maybe I was wrong
I'd rather listen to your music
Even though I hate that song
I'd rather move out to the country when
I'm all about the noise
I'd rather follow you through hell
Than stay in Illinois
I'd rather trade my bass guitar
For an acoustic set of strings
So that I could play your favorite
Because I know you love to sing
I'd rather hear about your friends
That I don't even know
I'd rather listen to your problems
Than think about my own
I didn't think about our future
Or the past we threw away
Cause every moment spent with you
Is forever in a day
And I thought I'd like this city
But I need you to feel right
And I would give it all
For a minute of time
Cause no one's ever felt the same
For you I would do anything
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't give
And maybe we're just opposites
But baby I'm just over it
I love the life you want to live
I didn't think about our future
Or the past we threw away
Cause every moment I spend with you
Is forever in a day
And I thought I'd like this city
But I need you to feel right




And I would give it all
For a minute of time

Lyrics:

The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see
Has paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victory
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see.
So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within.

The one eyed old man told me of a lake that no-one knows of.
where the end of the sky unites with the bottom countless feet down deep
And he told me when this world was young into it's depths his eye he had thrown
So that though one eyed, he could see more than can be seen.

I'll throw my eyes into the lake.
So that I will see from within
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
And when blind I will still see.

At the bottom of the lake.
My two eyes will shine like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I will see no matter how near or far
Regardless at which speed my horse
takes me through the night
No matter how sharp the blade of my sword seems to be.
Even with the aid of two pair of eyes way up high
In the end before the Beast, it's face I would have had to see.

But with my two eyes in the depths my vision is supreme
I see all things that can't be seen
but not my hand that is held out in front of me.
The face that makes me freeze
I now need not see at all.
I'll feel the presence of the Beast.
but will not need stare him down no more.

I've thrown my eyes into the lake.
So that I will see from within
I've throw my eyes into the lake
And now when blind I still see.

At the bottom of the lake.
My two eyes are shining like the stars
At the bottom of the lake
I now see no matter how near or far

[ceased to exist. The eyes of the unseen are upon him. The spirits of his]
[fathers long time gone riding next to him.]
[And the hearts of the Gods of Thunder of Wind and of Rain..."]

El viejo de un ojo me dijo que la cara que voy a ver
Ha paralizado a mil hombres valientes seguros de la victoria
No puedo luchar con los ojos vendados y me congelaría si viera
Así que necesito sacrificar mis ojos para ver todo desde adentro




El viejo de un ojo me contó de un lago que nadie conoce
Donde el final del cielo se une con el fondo incontables pies hacia abajo
Y me dijo que cuando este mundo era joven en sus profundidades su ojo había tirado
Así que, aunque uno miraba, podía ver más de lo que se podía ver



Arrojaré mis ojos al lago
Para que yo vea desde dentro
Arrojaré mis ojos al lago
Y cuando esté ciego, aún veré



En el fondo del lago
Mis dos ojos brillarán como las estrellas
En el fondo del lago
Veré sin importar cuán cerca o lejos
Sin importar a qué velocidad mi caballo me lleve a través de la noche
No importa lo afilada que parezca la espada de mi espada
Incluso con la ayuda de dos pares de ojos muy arriba
Al final, antes de la bestia, es la cara que habría tenido que ver



Pero con mis dos ojos en las profundidades mi visión es suprema
Veo todas las cosas que no se pueden ver
Pero no mi mano que se sostiene delante de mí
La cara que me hace congelar
Ahora no necesito ver nada
Sentiré la presencia de la bestia
Pero ya no será necesario mirarlo hacia abajo



He tirado mis ojos al lago
Para que yo vea desde dentro
He tirado mis ojos al lago
Y ahora, cuando estoy ciego, todavía veo



En el fondo del lago
Mis dos ojos brillan como las estrellas
En el fondo del lago
Ahora veo que no importa cuán cerca o lejos
