Jars Lyrics

the song is about the downside of going green, not about saving it.

for sure as stated on 98 rock in baltimore the song is about just that...saving the world into jars. the band said it was more of a mind story of a old man ( earth ) that saved the " earth " into jars..there words

Chevelle aren't a Christian band. Get over it people. If they were, they wouldn't swear in their songs and they would actually write a few songs about god, which they do not. Never have. Just because he writes poetically, doesn't mean it's a reference from the bible.

Pete said himself, he does not use his music as a means of preaching religious beliefs, and that they were signed to a Christian label by accident for their first release Point #1. End of story.

Pete also said himself, this song is "kind of play on words. It's saving the environment. It's a joke about saving the environment and it's about literally taking the earth, and putting it into jars to save it for later. It's very tongue in cheek."

They did not start out as a Christian band, they were first signed at a Christian Rock Label, but then they left there because Pete and Chevelle said that a rock stage is not a pedostil to preach.""

sounds like people clashing and competing for the same thing... the right to have the satisfaction of owning the keep and doing anything desperately to get it even if it means being owned as keep...consumption and greed consuming the earth to drive on becomes a bloody road to get the oils to drive on. humans are adapted to this tragedy and will continue until oblivion- its pretty deep.

i've seen them live and they are not happy people, all there saying is that their pissed off that the world isn't being saved by God or whoever, they just want everyone to be a collective so they can get someones attention.

LOL. I love reading everyone's comments. I understand what you're saying about people labeling this or that as Christian music. However, I find it amusing that my very first Chevelle album was purchased at a Christian book store. Not saying it means anything, but it's a funny fact. :) Music is artistic and open to many interpretations.

"What a lot of people don't know about Chevelle...is that they started as a Christian band. The "jars" that they are referring to are in the bible. Look it up. Like the badass song "The Clincher"..if you've ever read the lyrics to it, it's plain as day. They are talking about the blood of Jesus Christ saturating the Earth.
You can say whatever you want about Chevelle, but they brought Christian music into your stereo without you even knowing it.:)"

I would thumbs down the living shit out of this comment. Will you all stop writing off bands as Christian? It's fucking annoying.

Don't get me wrong, it is your right to interpret the song as you please; that's what's so great about art. It can be what you want it to be.

But just slapping that bullshit label on every band really gets under my skin. Not once have I ever seen or heard anything about Chevelle proclaiming themselves a Christian band. You wanna slap the Jesus' menstrual blood label on something, do it to the actual genre of Christian rock.

It's obvious that this song refers to the socio-economic conditions of Third World nations and how the intervention of nuclear war could help us in ridding the planet of these sub-human scum and their terrorist policies of inter breeding. yeah.

I loooove this song. Pete is soooo hot and has a really sexy voice. i think the message is that we are trying to win the war (which is over oil and oil only) at the expense of ignoring global issues. very cool though, hope they never stop making songs!!!!

Good song. I think it is about how we are destroying the planet (and fighting over resources) at the expense of the next generation. Also that people only pretend to care about the planet because there's a cool new "green" trend. Just my thoughts though, there's no right answer.

I think they are talking about obtaining oil through bloodshed and putting that oil into barrels and storing it greedily.
