Dave would not try to confuse his listeners and lovers with hyperboles and such. Take it as you will, but this man has loved and lost...and we can all very much so relate. Get high or drunk or be plain old sober. It is what it is, a beautiful true hearted song. guesstimation | Reviewer: thomas | 9/14/09 I think its funny how everyone finds their own meaning to songs. In reality the only person who knows what the song truly means is the person who wrote it. You can find your own meaning to every song made and it'll probably be completely different from everyone elses. Its human nature to put a meaning with or define something we don't really understand. our brains tell us that we need to make sence out of everything. Nevermind the fact that its just great music. Terry McWilliams | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/18/09 I believe in my heart that this song is about a time that Dave Matthews saw a Wombat, and fell madly in love with it. He tried to make a sexual relation with the Wombat, but it didn't work out. This song chronicles how Dave copes with his 'one that got away'...his 'unicorn' if you will. But it's a Wombat, not a Unicorn. Best wishes to alL! The Truth about Dave Matthews Lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/09 First of all, He is a very informed person. Thats the first step in understanding all musicians is being a truth seeker. This man truly believes in a better way of life. You have to find the truth to even comment about most musicians. Songs are designed to grab your attention by posing as being about sex or relatives or whatever but here it is folks: Grace is Gone means we have lost touch with ourselves. And the whole song is summed up in the first two lines. Neon shines through smokey eyes is hyperbole for the real truths, which are suppressed to the average person, are clouded with smoke and mirrors. So the next line can be described as the want to drink because how badly misinformed and disinformed people are. Its like banging your head against the wall. This is the closest thing to dave's perspective that you are going to get and i can go all day. unconditional love to all. search theduderinok on youtube and investigate like you never investigated before. The truth is out there! help!? | Reviewer: LC | 3/25/08 So i am going to write a paper on this fora lit class , and i could really use sum1's help!!!

His sister | Reviewer: Chip | 1/2/08 I am pretty sure the song is about his sister who died shortly before the song began being heard. I think her name was Grace. the step dad vs old gf debate | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/07 In Sept of this year I saw DMB at the Smirnoff Music Centre and he played this song. Right before he started he said "This is a song about death." He didn't specify whether it was a girl or family member or anyone else. I think that's part of his genius, he leave it out for speculation and it allows everyone to relate to it however they personally need to. Its a great song and he played the hell out of it. mike | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/07 dave this song is the best fucking song you have ever come up with.....thanks so much you have noo idea StepDad??? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/07 This song is not about his step dad, he didn't have one, nor a old girl friend. This song and the others written around the same time were to be on the CD that never was released by the record label because the label felt that the music was too depressing and gloomy. They were later leaked out before the replacement CD was produced. These leaked songs collectively were known as the "Lillywhite Session" for the producers last name. The record company decided to bring in outside help to produce more upbeat songs. This was the 1st time an outsider of the DMB camp help write music for the band. Glen Ballard, helped Dave write music and lyrics for the new CD titled "Everyday" as well as produced it. The originally recorded cd that was known as the "Lillywhite sessions" was written by Dave during a tough period of his life when his long term girlfriend, whom he since has married, moved cross country to finish school. The depression of being apart took it's toll on him and darkened everything he did. Heavy drinking, not working with the band productivly could have wiped out DMB as we knew and know it. The Lillywhite recordings are a dark period of his personal life put to music. The Lillywhite sessions later emerged to the mainstream as "Busted Stuff".
