Here's what Ari wrote in an interview about the song: "TWOYW- in GENERAL: A commentary on the unexamined life that many people lead: replete with abdication of responsibility- and ultimately how the writer (that's me) feels that this world is not his own (because although I understand, I cannot relate). In specific- the first lines are defeatist- the idea that even though the "answers" have been around forever, no one cares enough to listen to them. It goes on to reference Plato's Cave, with the idea that the denizens blame knowledge for their unhappiness, and would rather live ignorant than self aware and vigilant. The chorus is pretty self explanatory- when you don't know what you are and subsequently, what your purpose is, you never know what you really want or need. The second verse hits on the idea that even the most self deluded or ignorant tend to have moments of clarity, and these often occur in the night time, when no one is around to distract or impress- but even then, projection on other people occurs. Finally, the idea of a person with great internal conflict, and the analogy of the feelings that people have in a dimming relationship (afraid to end for need of safety but running out of the love that sustained it) and how that drains energy and life. And the wasted potential of the self aware human being resulting in a "death" before the body. The things we want define who we are- so know who you are, and you can get what you want!" |

| As I Lay Dying – An Ocean Between Us Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Tim usually always writes about his past or things that have happened to him. He has also said in an interview that As I Lay Dying is NOT christian metal. Everyone in the bad is christan but their songs are not meant to be about the bible or Jesus Christ. | |
