Third Eye Blind - God Of Wine Lyrics

2020 and still listening to this song

Such a banger. We need some of this music in the roarin 20s

But I really should go to sleep.

Just let Me forget everything.

I'm sorry.

2020 yayaayayaya

all my life I have been asking myself what is my favorite song? I was completely imbued with this song and it connects me with certain moments of life

You had pointed out your love of this song over a decade ago...
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, Parvis “Sparky” Forouzan.
RIP!

My first concert was Third Eye Blind in a college bar in columbus some 20 yrs ago. I was like 13. Not even sure how i was able to get in. Hahaha

Where do we begin....

Still one of my all time favorites

Still have the CD case. Just wish I had the CD still lol

Are you clean,because you are crazy

This song reminds me of Hailey and Jay.

''theres someone who understands you more than I do, a sadness I can't erase'' man that lyric is heartbreaking.

GyroLamb 🖤

Criminally underrated TEB song!

Boy got like 5 flows in every song 🔥 gasity gas ⛽️

Stephen Jenkins is the state's #1 asshole for trying to take over 3EB and ousting the best guitarist the band will ever have, Kevin Cadogan. 3EB sucks without him.

There's a memory of a window; looking through I see you

Searching for something I could never give you
There's someone who understands you
More than I do

And the sadness I can't erase
Or the look on your face...

I think we've all been there.

Can we get clean again?

This song is in my mind a dedication to my friend who died defending HER country *Melanie A True U.S Soldier* who all us in high-school in Lincoln Park Chicago Illinois miss you.. We still can't believe you died.. Like yer parents we are proud of you. We know you loved this song -- we miss u we miss u we miss u

This song has the energy of driving home in the rain and the dark and you look out the window and see the blurry car lights

*or the look on your face

3:00 Yeah. That's the stuff . .

Thank you for this song, third eye blind. My uncle is trying to teach me basic songs on the guitar. This is the song I started off on. See you in like 2 years, future me!

Dad 1961-2012
Brother 1995-2014
Best Friend 1998-2019

Couldn’t get clean again. Searching for something I could never give you.

That's a tough stretch...

When i listen to this CD i start at the first song and listen all the way threw.

IF you dont have this cd get it worth every penny

I actually had to buy two of this album wore out the first copy.

Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin, to get clean again
Can we get clean again
I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I can't get clean again
I want to know, can we get clean again
The God of Wine comes
Crashing through the headlights of a car
That took you farther than
You thought you'd ever want to go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way
And cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
I know, I can't keep it all together
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone on your face
Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack
A fraudulent zodiac
And the God of Wine
Is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
Now I'm going down
And you're not even around
And I said no
I can't keep it all together
I know, I can't keep it all together
And there's a memory of a window
Looking through I see you
Searching for something
I could never give you
And there's someone who
Understands you more than I do
A sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face

Im a retired Substance Abuse Counselor and often used this song in group process . We had great success reaching many clients thru this song.

Bought the album for Semi-charmed life, will always remember Background and God of Wine. Both some of the finest songs I've ever heard, and it's always haunted me that I don't know more about this mystery girl he's writing about. Did Stephen know a girl who died a tragic death? I've never been able to find any info.

This comment section makes me so happy!!!!! Love the nostalgic feels you guys!!

I've been listening to this song since 97'. I know the words. I've sang them. I know the feelings because I felt them for so many years with women who I dated who somehow inherited this song in my mind without them ever knowing, yet this song never brought me to my knees till yesterday with my wife. I am struggling with alcoholism again. I work a 40, I have children, the bills are payed but I am falling apart inside, and my wife is watching and can't stop it. My marriage is in a rough spot, the roughest in 10 years. Not trying to be a downer to whoever reads this, but this song, to me, is about two toxic people trying to make things work, and they just simply can't. Peace, love and empathy.

I love this the lyrics are incredible

I implore u to toast the memories that could never be erased..

rip mama😞

Any one here bc of rosewell New Mexico

This song is otstanding among all the others in this album - has really sigbificant impact and brings tears every time I hear/play.sing it.

2019 still listening this song..give me like

Great ending to a great album

Fraudulent zodiac. Roswell, New Mexico brought me here.

Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin. To get clean again
Can we get clean again
I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I can't get clean again.
I want to know, Can we get clean again
The God of Wine comes
crashing through the headlights of a car
that took you farther than
you thought you'd ever want to go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way
And cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
I know...I can't keep it all together
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone…

This album was my favorite!!

And there's someone who understands you more than I do
A sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face.

I'm here for Malex in Roswell New Mexico

t.v. show roswell? anyone? lol

and that is the truth there is no intelligent design what we are dealing with is simply the machine doesn't exist in the other dimension so all we had to look forward to was conspiracy where nothing was in charge

“searching for something i could never give you, and there’s someone who understands you more than i do.” breaks my heart every time.

Being a 60-year-old, you can expect that I'm all about Beatles and Stones and thinking music will never be that good again. And while I mostly stick with that conviction, this is as good an album as anything I have ever heard in my life. Damn near every song makes me feel as if these guys went through every triumph and tragedy right beside me. tears still flow after twenty years.

Takes me back...

All time fav

been listening to 3eb since 1998.. this album is still awesome 21 yrs later

This song was played in Roswell New Mexico


I came straight here after the episode

Hadn’t listened to this in years until I saw Roswell, New Mexico.

In my opinion the best album ever made!!!!

Nostalgia hitting my core

Top 10 album. All Time.
Remember Albums?

Awesome. Feellings. Taste
Noise

This album should be in everyone’s collection!!!

This is their best song, period.

I woke up with this song in my head

one of the best gd albums ever produced

Fuck you ruby

Best album ever

Here in 2019 listening to this it still makes me weep every time. Truly Amazing song and album. I lost a dearest friend to suicide 5 years ago me and him and our friends growing up, used to idolise this album and musicianship. I couldn't listen to it for a long time as was just too painful, but now i can wallow in the nostalgia of when we were young together, back then without a care in the world. Ive become an alcoholic in the the last few years since his death and now this song hits harder than it ever did. So powerful. "A sadness i can't erase" Takes me back to my teenage years listening to music like this with the best friends I'll ever have

Takes me back to high school days... Roswell reminded me of this song

I know they cant keep it together

Poor Sarah smart had a car accident like cryptic lance, negative energy

imagine this album didn't exist. when i am in the mood for this there is nothing else that even comes close. even the production is so raw and emotional. deepest lyrics i have ever heard, along with some of the other songs on this record. even though its mostly only stories many of us wouldn't call special or crazy, everybody can relate to them. i love how this album is silently screaming "goodbye" many times. "it was special, but you have to let it go and grow".

All my life I thought it was "holds a truth I can't erase or the look on your face". This song is perfect though ❤️

I have always loved this band but Roswell brought me here.

I wished I had found out about this song earlier. Roswell New Mexico brought me here.

Roswell New Mexico brought me here.

I have always loved this song, and it was so long since I heard it, and then it played on Roswell New Mexico the other day and holy shit. It brought back all the feels.

Top 5 album of the 90s

Just started listening to this band very good one of the top bands ive ever heard beautiful

HeyZeusHereToasts?

And the siren's song that is your madness holds a truth I can't erase.......damn

who is still watching this from 2019?

If I don't listen to I sing it in the shower lol

Every f’n day

2020 here

to all people who suffer's alcoholism , keep clean and strong

xxdeath xx hay thanks

Still listening in 2019. Amazing song ❤️

Heroin addiction gave us insight into many brilliant musicians. Sadly heroin consumed some of them well before they should have. They were reaching out. And we failed them.

Damn, good shit

Searching for something I could never give you. Wow

In addition to comments from @Christina Bailey and @bvaljalo, I've always thought that the entire album was about a single relationship/girlfriend, beginning with the initial euphoria, having the problems in the middle and then ending tragically. Sure a couple of the songs don't fit perfectly in this theory, but if you think about it while listening to the whole album, it actually makes sense. At least that's my take. And yes, this song in particular fucking ruins me every time I hear it.

this has always pulled at my heart strings and it still does today, one of the most beautiful songs ever written imo

Jamie Collins so true

cashed out-justhavetostayinthebackgroundnevertoreturnandkeepitalltogether-causeyourecashedoutonthetruth-let down

Had a ex that was a alcoholic,drug addict, depressing and suicidal that always cheated on me that later on we became freinds and still tried to care for her but the pressures in her life whould make her relapse and whould I'd be there to help just calm her down but it got to a point ware chouldnt cause I whould be to far and busy I chouldnt keep on but I'd still try be there but sometimes she whould think of me still having feelings for her still and I still had but really far deep we both tried not to have feelings until we distant each other but at the end she moved on and found someone and I moved on and block her out my life and thats how I relate kind of to this song

There's a memory of a window, looking through I see you...
Searching for something I could never give you.
There's someone who understands you more than I do...
A sadness I can't erase... All alone, on your face.


This is the most sadly beautiful lyric I have ever heard in my life.

This song is to the love of my life and I hope she's doing great and thriving and she remembers At first she drinks out of the bottle then the bottle made drink out of her I pray it's not the ladder

Is no one else gonna point out how amazing Cadogan's playing is on this? The lyrics are well recognized, but this song lives and dies by that guitar. The tone and performance are the core of this track.

The riff on the "can't keep it all together" part really is just fucking massive. The whole album is littered with parts where Cadogan does steal the show. It's such a shame that he and Stephen could never reconcile whatever their problems were (I suspect money-related)

Holy moly that's been my favorite thing since I've this song for over 20 years, my Irish-twins can play the beginning (my favorite part). I've instructed them to play this at my funeral.

Idk what happened but their new records aren't that great nothing like the 90s Blue is ok but the ones after that are not that great

3 years clean and counting. Counselor at rehab showed me this and it still hits close to home.

When are things going get better God, let me know. Sometimes I wish I knew when all this will get better. I feel so apathetic to life.

This is my favourite song on one of my Desert Island Album List. A masterpiece recording.
