Well, usually when you talk about a mandate, you're talking about an overwhelming win. I don't think by any measurement the 2004 election was an overwhelming win.

Shows have been sold out. It's overwhelming, you know. I had no idea what to expect with this new sound and everything and just to see so many people just come out and embrace it, it's overwhelming.

Yes, there was a sort of underground cult following, which came from nowhere, and grew, and grew. It was quite surprising to us all, because all of us had spent probably the previous five to ten years without it. So it was quite overwhelming. Overwhelming and humbling.

Drowning In Rage
My heart bleeds tears,
tears of pain and self-hatred
The overwhelming feeling...
the feeling engulfs me,
the tears continue
falling like rain
my soul and mind are full
and the feeling of rage and anger is overwhelming
(And all) I see is red...
Blood red anger, and pain
I scream, but sound is gone
An overwhelming urge to escape
runs through my viens
I want to rip my chest open
and escape this omnipresent martyrdom
and breathe
To Aly; I'm very sorry...

I think I present an overwhelming case that these five justices were up to no good, and they deliberately set out to hand the election to George Bush.

Thats What I Think
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming
Sometimes I think
I dont know what Ill do
But I forget the world
And everything around me
Thats what I think
When I think about you
The streets are filled
With too many babies
Black air in a sky of blue
People pass by
No life in their eyes
The concrete jungles
Really going crazy
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming...
The rent is due
And the pockets are empty
People ask machines
For the truth
No crystal ball
Can help see it all
But where we gonna find
The dreams to feed the babies
Baby life goes on
Thats what people say
But Im nowhere
If you go away
Id just be looking
For a brighter day
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming...
What can I do
Forget about the world
And everything around me
Thats what I think
When I think about you

Wanderlust
Looks like I pulled a fast one
Looks like I went to town
Looks like the world revolves around me
Looks like it's falling down.
I thought I'd kicked the traces
I thought the wheels would spin
I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted
Looks like I'm back again
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I had to grab a suitcase
I had to change my clothes
I had to run the shower hot
until the water froze
I brushed against confusion
I wanted time to grow
I want the sticks and stones not to throw me
get back to what I know
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I'm searching for a greatness
I smear it on my face
I want to bathe in grape must
swim the length of the milky way
I want it to be brilliant
I want it to be sweet
I want to kiss the astronauts
when they salute to me me me me
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.

Thrown Down
You fell for her again, she watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important, night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands, she listened to what he had to say
Thrown down...like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together
Youve shaken your faith in me, no
Youve shaken the faith in everything else
A decision no one makes, and now youre going home
Faith is a hard thing to hold on to
Something inside you says I dont have to
Youre not like other people, you do what you want to
Youre not like other people, you do what you want to
Thrown down... like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together
(so overwhelming, baby)
(theres nothing left to say)
He fell for her again, she watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important, night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands, she listened to what he had to say
Thrown down...like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
(so overwhelming, baby...theres nothing left to say)
That he could be good for her
(he says hes sorry, baby...he should walk away)
And they should be together
(so overwhelming, baby...theres nothing left to say)
About just how much he never really told her
(he should walk away)
Thrown down (so overwhelming, baby...theres nothing left to say)
About how difficult it had been to be without her
(he should walk away...so overwhelming, baby)
Thrown down
(theres nothing left to say...he should walk away)

Fake An Amnesia
When a truth spoken,
Reveals overwhelming opposition...
There 'is' an alternative one can take.
Keep a truth known protected,
Not to be exposed,
In places where delusion is the main event.
And celebrated on a regular basis.
It pays first for one to be observant,
To that which is highly regarded.
No matter what temptations present themselves,
To tease with a going against the grain...
Of what is accepted and cherished as tradition.
When a truth spoken,
Reveals overwhelming opposition...
There 'is' an alternative one can take.
Fake an amnesia!

Some Folks Are Not That Forgiving
Hey...
Now that you have finally landed on the Earth.
Do not expect a dispersement,
Of overwhelming cheer.
Remember how you left us here?
With a turned up nose,
As you made your climb to the top.
Elevated above the 'have nots'!
Something or someone has greased that ladder.
And to the bottom,
You quickly dropped.
And your 'sizzle' has come to a sudden 'flop'.
Hey...
Now that you have finally landed on the Earth.
Do not expect a dispersement,
Of overwhelming cheer.
Some folks are not that forgiving.
I know I'm not.
And that I want made clear.

Out Of Tune
Overwhelming as they are
Breeding hope by counting stars
Merge the bitterness the pain
Which Im sure
You can explain again
One gets hurt when she feels small
( and shes longing for some peace )
Beeing the center of it all
( slow attack but fast release )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same
Overwhelming as they are
( with their mistifying glow )
Breeding hope by counting stars
( as they hunger for the show )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same

The secret card
The seducer is hunting her arms
Overwhelming her with charms
Please be the sweet
Don't deny being my treat
Talk as you wish
I seal your mouth with a kiss
When you fall apart
I will see your secret card
The joker will split
Not trying to commit
Don't track him down
He will always be around
Not in your bed
But in the back of your head

MAYBE A SHADOW HE WAS FOR ME,
MUCH MORE HE SHOULD'VE STAYED
LAUGHTERS OVERWHELMING IN GLEE
IN HIS PRESENCE I SHOULD SAY
BUT TIME WONT WAIT FOR US
JUST LIKE SPRING COMES N GOES
HEY MY FREN LIKE A GEM SO PRECIOUS
YOU WERE TO ME SO CLOSE
FOREVER IT SHALL BE UNCTUOUS
EVEN THOUGH I NEVER TOLD U THIS
TOGETHER LETS MAKE THIS AN ARCANE
AND BETWEEN OUR FRENSHIP WE MAKE A FRIEZE
AND KEEP OUR STORY A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.....

My Idea Of A Good Day
There will be no sleep
The pains of hunger
The searing burn of thirst
Discomfort
But not discontentment
A feeling of loneliness amongst the overwhelming presence
A feeling of depression amidst the joy
A feeling of chaos amidst the peace
A feeling of confusion amidst the wisdom
A feeling of dejection amidst the love
There will be success
The delights of a feast
The coolness of an iced drink
Contentment
Complacency
A feeling of completion amidst inner brokenness
A feeling of happiness amidst inner death
A feeling of peacefulness amidst inner turmoil
A feeling of wisdom amidst inner misunderstanding
A feeling of camaraderie amidst an inner and overwhelming loneliness
Here's a hint, my idea of a good day isn't based on feelings.
