Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pitty
For leaving I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am a highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars
Don't wait for me
Cause I'll get on
All by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
The night
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightining
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
I definetly agree with your meaning. Cornell is saying to someone that you cannot see the rest of me and that I am the right path to take, perhaps opposed to someone else. I Simply are not your wheels, your ride, our wind that just push forward I AM THE HIGHWAY, take my path.
People so often take others for granted. I think he's saying there's a bigger picture your not seeing. There's more to it all than meets the eye. He's telling us to open our eyes.
