Song lyrics
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door

Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now, to the baby down the hall

Oh I feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
Puts the glory up to high, high

Oh I feel it comin back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it; I can feel it

Oh I, oh I, oh I

I can feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it (x3)

I can feel it; I can feel it

You know what's really funny? It's that for 3 years, I've been singing this song, and never once thought about the meaning of it - which is completely weird for me... I'll look into it

Alright.. after much research, discussion amongst Live fans, and a few who have never seen the lyrics before - I've determined that the meaning of the song is left for the interpretation of the listener - whatever suits their needs. Different people find comfort in different interpretations. MY interpretation of it is that it's just the cycle of life. As an old lady is dying down the hall... a mother is crying because she's starting a new life. The angel closes her eyes to death and opens them again to a new life. the symbolism in the title lightning crashes is simply to dramatically show how life can change that quickly - but, like I said. That suits me, it makes me realize that even in death, there's something incredible happening in another life right down the hall.. and that's comforting. However, how you choose to interpret it is completely up to you.

Probably my favorite song from Live, and Live has remained one of my favorite bands longer than any band, all my different phases of music, since I was like 5 years old they have been (now 17). The hole CD, Throwing Copper is awesome, plus around here they are popular because they are from here. Otter Creek is like a mile from my house, great place to swim, just like the song .. lol

Fabulous song....I'm not completely what its about. The circle of life....definately open to interpretation. I've never known so many people to argue over the meaning of a song more than this one. I wonder if the writer knew there was going to so much consideration into the meaning...It's definately not about abortion though. Too simplistic...

What is special about LIVE music, is that you actually FEEL it. You are not just listening and enjoying it, you're feeling it deep in your soul. That is why once I heard LIVE I cannot live without their music anymore. I never heard anything better!
And 'Lightning Crashes' is a very special song for sure. I wouldn't say it's LIVE's best - I don't think they have one song that is so much better than the others. But it is definately one of their bests
