I think I agree with @Breathingperson. We often will try and offer a level of relativism because we don't want to be offensive rather than standing out we would rather shut up and be liked. Because it's better than standing up and having someone assassinate our character or maybe even change their position through a very reasonable defense. We go against the grain or we get swallowed up and our uniqueness is gone.

| As I Lay Dying – Parallels Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
This song is definitely a powerfully and deeply poetic song but seems to be yet fairly simple. The parellels never cross. we are all facing in the same direction headed the same way but on two different paths as parallel lines rarely if ever touch. When we attempt to gratify oursevelves we practice an unsustainable model. We do not practice any level of restraint but give in and in the end we find ourselves wanting. Wanting more of all that we consume but because we simply live in a place that tells us to consume cause there is nothing beyond this point we do. But it's evident that these guys find that this is ludicrous and that there is an ache for something beyond just consuming and the difference is that they aren't headed but they intersect and in the places where they are parellel its hard but they are subject to something that lives beyond just today, tomorrow, next month, or next year, but they have to think about years down the road, and perhaps eternity because they are essentially different and they want others to see that. |
