Pearls and swine bereft of me..?? This is the first line in the awesome song "I am the highway" by Audioslave. But what does it actually mean? I really can't figure it out. I'll post the lyrics and a link to the song for context. Please help me all you music-lovers out there! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy2ZUGc2mSs 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 pity for leaving I feel [Chorus] I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liars don't wait for me I'll get on all by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel [Chorus] I am not your blowing wind I am the lightening I am not your autumn moon I am the night The night [Chorus] I am not your blowing wind I am the lightening I am not your autumn moon I am the night The night

  You are a loner and people should take you as you are.  You are just plain but important.  For without, the night, there would be no beauty in the moon and stars, without you the road, no transport is possible or easy etc.  You are the glue that holds everything together even though you are not the glamorous one.

 

Pearls and swine bereft of me..??   It means the best and worst are wearing you down constantly.

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 pity for leaving I feel

[Chorus]
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

[Chorus]

I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
The night

[Chorus]

I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
The night

I think Chris was quoting scripture from the Bible... Matthew 7:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” In other words...those who love God need to be careful about how they counsel those who hate or don't believe in him as they may resent and despise you for all your efforts. This can only lead to conflict and contention...so be careful how you judge them and let God help them find their way. Thats my .2 cents...
