That the grass is always greener on the other side The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive And when time is running out you wanna stay alive We all live under the same sky We all will live, we all will die There is no wrong, there is no right The circle only has one side

(1 of 2) This song, along with Coldplay's The Scientist & God Put A Smile On Your Face, Neil Finn's 'Sinner', The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony, Joan Osbornes's 'what if god was One Of Us' is the Imagine (John Lennon) of the late 1990's & the new millennium beyond. They are both spiritual & agnostic/atheist anthems in one. To me the opening verse is spiritual. Heaven perhaps when we die? Some Big Brother government agency/higher force/alien entity watching/protecting over us? The second verse is Zeitgeist, the rat race pursuits of modern capitlistic society. Very existential & profound.

(2 of 2) This is the grunt of the song - the chorus. What is wrong? What is right? Does black & white exist? Or is it all one big muddle of shades of many grey. We all want to live forverver, longer, better & healthier but mortality beckons eventually. '...The circle only has one side...' This is the science/mathermatics of the song...as opposed to optimistic 'believing' opening verse. The final verse is a metaphor/extension of the themes posed in the previous two. It's stating/summarising it too. The best way I can explain it is a comparison to Neil Finn's/Crowded House's 'Driving Me Mad': '...say what lies between us? a host of everyday distractions. most of all it's MUSIC taking me...' Opening up the chord is one the most primitive/caveman human instincts, a reference to the healing powers of music & how it can cross all boundaries & unite the human race.
