What is the meaning of She Sings In Riddles?

I've seen the meaning of Conspiracy #5 explained, but what about She Sings In Riddles? I understand this limited EP did not have printed song lyrics and there have been some posted in the thread about Rockstar, but I'm not sure we have the correct lyrics. Anyone have the answer?

I vaguely remember reading someplace, probably HERE , that the song was written about the singer Jewel. Don't know how accurate that is, though, or anything more about it than that.

Anyone want to confirm and/or elaborate on that?

I said Alanis Morissette. I may be wrong though. I doubt it's Jewel as her lyrics aren't enigmatic. It may be Sarah McLachlan as she has a song titled Angel.

I thought there used to be something about it in the Band Archives but I didn't find it...It is probably my all time favorite 3D song though.

Edit: actually now that I think about it, I think one of the guys posted "It's a riddle" or something like that

I just don't see that rhyming with "truth or a lie".

It doesn't, but those are the correct lyrics.

You shouldn't be- I was watching American Idol for you to see how Jordin did. I just read your reply a day late and a dollar short. I did a Google search for the lyrics and it's a little different that what is posted on ThirdDayfans.com:

The voice of an angel
I cannot tell
Light or darkness
Heaven or hell
The smile of a believer, wedged and bound
Friend or deceiver
The truth or a lie

She sings in riddles
She sings in rhymes
Saying everything and nothing at the same time
Still there's something that blows my mind
She sings in riddles
She sings in rhymes

Words of a poet in perfect time
With questions and answers
In every verse, every line
I smile and I wonder
Is there a song?
I've not yet decided if it's right or it's wrong

She sings in riddles
She sings in rhymes
Saying everything and nothing at the same time
Still there's something that blows my mind
She sings in riddles
She sings in rhymes
