its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
These words I write to you, my dear
Are sparks to turn the dark to light
Invariable presence
(So you know that I'm with you)
If the weight it seems too great
May this melody invigorate
And empower your persistence
The path that splits in your soul
You got it
The world is yours to devour
These notes I pen to you, my friend
Are swords to slice through your distress
And dissolve your dejection
And may this harmony create
A sanctuary for escape
To revive your volition
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
All I can do is play
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play
Shall we be terrified of the unknown?
Insurgent vicissitude of time
Shall we be terrified
If you're bored, then you're probably boring
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play
Are sparks to turn the dark to light
Invariable presence
(So you know that I'm with you)
If the weight it seems too great
May this melody invigorate
And empower your persistence
The path that splits in your soul
You got it
The world is yours to devour
These notes I pen to you, my friend
Are swords to slice through your distress
And dissolve your dejection
And may this harmony create
A sanctuary for escape
To revive your volition
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
All I can do is play
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play
Shall we be terrified of the unknown?
Insurgent vicissitude of time
Shall we be terrified
If you're bored, then you're probably boring
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play
And you've got
An invincible design
An invincible design
I tell you, all I can do is play

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
may this harmony create a sanctuary from escape
