Electric Guest – The Bait lyrics
It's all coming back to me today
All of the bait
The god of email wants me to stay
I should obey
My father told me "Go for the pay" (go for the pay, oh no)
But god knows I just want to escape
All of the wait
The more that I want what they tell me
The more I can see
Becoming a fool was half the fee
Ugly indeed
Why can't we find home?
Wandering on our own... We'll never have to know, oh
But we're still searching for a home, oh
And when it comes I know we'll never feel alone, oh, oooooh
I've seen everything pass through this town
All of the new
The luckiest kids wearing the crown
Don't have a clue
My mother knew it could get me down (layin' around, oh no)
Left me to wonder who'd allow
The 'why' in the 'how'
Why can't we find home?, oh
Wandering on our own... We'll never have to know, oh
But we're still searching for home, oh
And when it comes I know we'll never feel alone, oh, oooooh
Oh
Woo they gun it down
They gun it down
Woo they gun it down
They gun it, they
Woo they gun it down
They gun it down
Woo they gun it down
They gun it, they

    Is anyone else hearing, "they dumb it down"? I swear he's not always saying gun.I think the song can be distilled very easily: there will always be people pushing and pulling - we need to find our own paths and be okay with that. The ups and downs of figuring it all out. Asa takes it a step further and asks the listener to make their own decisions and conclusions regarding this process. Once a person can understand "home" and all that it entails, they will still be met with resistance, however, never stop striving for home. Because once you do, it will be worth all of the angst and anxiety it took to get to this revelation. Love this band!
