To me this is a song of existentialist dread. During a difficult time when I was depressed in an altered state this song came on and i was paralyzed. I began perceiving all humans in the universe as an illusory mirror in a reality of solipsism. It's like the dark side of the contemplation that we are all reflections of "god" "sleeping is believing, breathing is deceiving" When we're awake and alive/breathing we cannot really know what is the truth; sleeping is believing is the one lyric that gives me hope in this awesome yet chaotically depressing song... many hypotheses about the nature of our lives and what we're doing here can only be speculation or opinion, not fact. To sleep is to be dumb/not awake/aware. Question things "The draw back to living is finding yourself" ...when you realize you're the only one and everyone is just you, it sucks. Now what do you do? "Don't believe it if you see it, got to see it to believe it" ... save yourself from the horrors of this possible reality. Don't just give in to it being right. You won't know what it can mean and feel like til you're faced with it. It can feel real to contemplate, but you might only really know when you die and return to your source. So what are you going to do? Be in agony. "Watch your heart, let it bleed, don't have faith in anything" Hopelessness in dissociation, and or death "corpse pose, corpse pose" |

To me this is a song of existentialist dread. During a difficult time when j was depressed and high I began perceiving all humans in the universe as an illusory mirror in a reality of solipsism. It's like the dark side of the contemplation that we are all reflections of "god" "The draw back to living is finding yourself" ...when you realize you're the only one and everyone is just you, it's no longer fun, but now you have to wait til you die to escape the game. "Don't believe it if you see it, got to see it to believe it" ... save yourself from the horrors of this possible reality. You won't know what it can mean and feel like til you're faced with it. It can feel real to contemplate, but you might only really know when you die and return to your source. So what are you going to do? Be in agony. "Watch your heart, let it bleed, don't have faith in anything" what's the point then? Hopelessness in dissociation, and or death "corpse pose, corpse pose" |

"i chased the charmed" = going after that which is appealing "but i don't want them anymore..." "And in their eyes I was alive A fool’s disguise Take me away from you." = (you) is the charmed...and what is causing the feeling of not being alive, which needs to be escaped from.. alas, they are charmed "Shame my tongue, Fat with promise all along. But when I woke up from that sleep, I was happier than I’d ever been = denial/not knowing what to do because they are being charmed. yet, when they finally realize their denial they are happy "When you decide That your life is a prize Renew and revive" = when you see how important your life is, do something to help yourself "Happiness will make you wonder... Will I feel ok? It scares the disenchanted Far away" = am i going to be alright without you? if i stay with you it won't be any good either "Yeah... I want something new. But what am I supposed to do about you?? Yeah, I love you, it's true" = i need this, but i can't just let you go, i love you. "Life’s a bummer when you’re a hummer... life’s a drag" i'm guessing being a hummer is sitting on the fence, finding it hard to decide on right/wrong/love "Ask yourself a question, Anyone but me... I ain’t free Do you feel Love is real?" = is love real and is this what is making it all so difficult? you answer, cause i'm too confused |
