Division Day

October 21, the date of Elliott Smith's death. "Division Day" is a euphemism for the day death strikes, with "division" being the splitting apart of body and soul.

"The moon stood up on the ridge
Looking down where the water shines
And a man looking over the bridge
Like he done so many times

"Thinking about how to stay out
Out of trouble's way
And flying to fall away from you all
It's over division day
Beautiful division day"
