Who you are is probably my second favorite song on no code at this point, and stbc is second from the bottom on vitalogy. They're about tied. I have no idea how to vote on this one. I need to check my song rankings from that chat thread

Both of these are pretty mid-range PJ for me, but I gave the edge to STBC.

Who You Are contains the worst single line in the entire catalog. I'm won't put my fingers through that agony.

Underneath this smile Lies everything
All my hopes, anger, pride and shame

Make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
Just for today,... I am free

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

I know this one thing well,...

I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all human light

How I choose to feel is how I am
How I choose to feel is how I am

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of the night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

Again.

Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again

Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today

Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within my heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire

Drop the leash, we are young
AHHHH Get outta my fucking face

You know the old expression, "spinning circles gather no moss."

Those might arguably be poor lyrics but at least they make sense, unlike the clunker presumably CopperTom refers to.

It's a genuine mistake of usage, Ed confuses the meaning of 'aforementioned' with 'previous'.

It's terrible, bad, no good at all.

Thankfully Spin the Black Circle is the better song regardless.

I don't really care about the aforementioned lyric.
