Also, I think 'central' perfectly describes the concepts in this song, when presented with two sides like below and above, you realize that they are one in the same and you are central to the two sides. Something can be right below my feet but at the same time be far off because of the relativity we put on it. Anything that could one day be is as real as what i'm saying is pretty simple, time doesn't really exist and just because something exists on the physical plane doesn't make it any more 'real' than something in someone's head. These statements can seem contradictory at first, but therein lies the genius. It is also very difficult to understand these concepts and feelings through just words; they are things you feel, which is why "you gotta feel your lines" makes sense here. That line can also be interpreted in many different ways such as feeling the words you say or you 'lines' or it can mean you have to feel the definitions of your existence or the 'lines' you exist within. We exist in the ways we do for a reason hence "we should be grateful to the gods" and "I value my placement as in hell". I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the things that ran inside, outside, and central to his mind when writing this though, what a man. This is a very contemplative, spiritual, philosophical, trans-dimensional album. |

If something is nothing it must not be something in any possible way points out the paradox that is nothingness. Nothing doesn't exist because just assigning it the term 'nothing' makes it something. But at the same time you can't say it doesn't exist because we try to explain things that are un-designatable with designatable terms like 'it is nothing' or 'it doesn't exist. I know it sounds like bull but once you apply some philosophy you can understand it. That's my two cents anyway... |
