I guess you all already know it, Third Eye Blind is going to release their fourth album "Ursa Major" in a few weeks. On Wikipedia, there's a list of possible songs that includes "Persephone" that was written about one of Stephan's girlfriend. Vanessa ?  :)

From songmeanings.net:

She's barely moving now
Warming in the sun
I left her colder now
Than almost anyone
Warming in the sun

And the light she finds is golden
And I can't take my eyes away
But I'm no longer welcome
And this is
Not my place to stay
Ciggarettes fill my lungs
One by one by one
And I wish spring would come
Warming in the sun

And I play these songs without you
In an empty space
With the guitar that you brought me
I pull from a velvet case

Persephone
Can you help me?
Yeah
Persephone
Can you stop the moment bleeding
Persephone
Can you?

Did I hear you scream
Well I was singing in a dream
Naked by your side
The one place I never lied
And all that I can give you
Is an open door
And it all it swings to lightly
I won't be through there anymore

Persephone
Persephone
Can you help me?
Yeah
Did you pass this way
Maybe not today
Persephone
Can you help me?

I pushed away your summer greed
I want the promise of a real spring
Being born again
Help me

All emotion's coming back to me

I sit by myself
And memories all are one
In the last light of the sun


  Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Persephone was such a beautiful young woman that everyone loved her, even Hades wanted her for himself. One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun, Helios, had noticed it.

Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened. Demeter was so angry that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile. Knowing this could not continue much longer, Zeus sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release Persephone. Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone a pomegranate (or the seeds of a pomegranate, according to some sources). When she later ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay there one-third of the year. The other months she stayed with her mother. When Persephone was in Hades, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter began. This myth is a symbol of the budding and dying of nature. In the Eleusinian mysteries, this happening was celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, who was known in this cult as Kore.


It could be about V! When does this album come out? It sounds awesome.

I thought it might be about Charlize but I didnt know how old it was. Since most of the songs on Out of the Vein were about Charlize I wonder if any new ones are about V.

unless her first love was a massaging showerhead, none of their new songs seem to point to her.

LOL what is the title of the song?

edit: lol Nevermind, found it. I hadn't listend to the EP yet. Reminds me of the girl in 40 Year Old Virgin that had a special relationship with her "shiny friend" the shower head.
