| Nevermore – This Godless Endeavor Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I don't think it's necessarily stating that we live in a world with no god. I think it could just as easily be about someone who goes through life with no faith at not, not even a personal belief in god, as well as no 'religion', and that person's life is empty | |
| Nevermore – Noumenon Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
A noumenon, as described by Kant, is an unknowable, indescribable reality that exists only in the mind's eye. I think what this song says, is basically that "Reality" as we know it is completely false. The media twists the truth and reports it and people buy into it without question. People, and feelings don't matter. You must fall inline or be an outcast. "Reality", that people believe is like a strong drug. So strong that once you are hooked, you can't live without it. It's like the old question that goes something like 'Would you want to know all the secrets in the world, or continue on in plesant ignorance?' The enemy is those who challenge the "Reality" that is fed to them A rather cynical view, but there is truth to it. I'm not commenting on the social aspects, but as far as the human perception of the physical world, we do not see reality. Our brains can not comprehend it, because our limited view of the world is all that is necessary for survival |
