totally agree. he's saying we can't know but we as humans are looking for meaning and connections. But any sentiment we ascribe to the chaos that is the world is not definitively true. This idea applied to the lyrics about it not being enough to live on in others' memories is pretty powerful. I think he's saying that you need to exist and live without worrying about some sort of truth, just doing things you believe to be right in the moment. taoist in action (simply existing in the world) but i dont think it is in thought (taoism believes there to be a fundamental truth) |

| Explosions in the Sky – The Only Moment We Were Alone Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Not my idea, but one that i subscribe to: (background) you have this girl and this guy, they meet through mutual friends and they get along really well and they start dating. They date for like a year and everything is going well and they hang out with friends a lot and everything is healthy, but eventually little things start happening that drive them apart. Like external things, not things within the relationship. like a death in the family or friends that don't get along. So even though this girl and guy really love eachother, they can't make it work. so they break up, but still have feelings for each other. now like four years pass and they're no longer in contact, but they both still have some old heartfelt feelings for the other. idea: the guy and the girl are both at a conference (or something like it) and neither knows the other is there, but they bump into each other over a punch bowl filling up a glass, and their eyes meet and the entire song is the single moment that they met over the punch bowl. i get shivers when i hear this song. |

| Sleigh Bells – Crown on the Ground Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| At the end of the song I think she yells "Sic Semper" as in sic semper tyrannis (basically death to tyrants), which i think ties into the whole Crown on the ground name of the song. Anyone see that too? | |
