| great voice, too short of a song. maybe too short on purpose: the attention span of the highly evolved average music listener ain't too long. and by the way, the pleasure receptors in our brains evolved for a reason, according to the scientists who study that. ;-) | |

| A few further thoughts on the title highly evolved. There are references "to buying love" and "buying blow" which can be seen as our consumerist society where money can buy us happiness. We are highly evolved we can do all these fantastic things, but we're still vulnerable we don't necessarilly own love or happiness despite all our supposed intelligence. we're still "dreamin for somethin, reachin for somethin. And at the end of the day we're all just killing time before we can sleep again "just waitin for the sun to carry me in. I mean thats all personal interpretation for you hope it helps. | |

| He is happy with his life, he doesn't understand it but is content with letting things happen, Bill on the other hand is not content and wants to change things, but in doing so has become what he set out to destroy or change, he say he doesnt feel low, but if you do you can change it. | |

| Seems like a song about drugs, to me. 'Highly Evolved' could mean being high, because drugs make people feel better then usual. The lyrics also have a lot of possible drug references, such as "Buying love from a payphone". That could mean calling a drug dealer and having the stuff delivered. The part about his brother Bill could also be used as a drug reference, what with the talk of the 'market' and such. I think Bill was a drug dealer, rather then his actual brother, but he got caught doing something he wasn't supposed to and now he;s being hunted by other drug lords or something. Just a theory ^^ | |
