i think it's about losing dear people to suicide. "People that you love shouldn't take the life out of themselves". i think the lines go describing people's adaption to the loss. "People that you love are never going to say hello again" is finding out your friend has killed themselves. and realizing that they're gone forever. "People shouldn't ... themselves" is being really shaken by the whole thing and being angry and not even believing that anyone would actively WANT to not be alive. "And no this time i think it's really it" is about acceptance. of having thought enough about it and saying "you know. that's it. this time they're really gone. all the times they almost died, i could almost feel like they would survive. but they didn't and now they're gone. i couldn't do anything about it. and i get to be alive and they don't". i'm not sure but i think "and it's only in the movies" could be interpreted as only in the movies there's gonna be a touching piano playing in the background. in the movies they're gonna survive. in the movies there's a happy ending. it's real life and it actually happened. and there's no ending. it's all bleak and indifferent to me. i'm only not sure what Clint Eastwood flick and Godzilla flick mean. i'm more confused about the Clint Eastwood part (but i know approximately nothing about Clint Eastwood so maybe there's a connection). what's a Godzilla flick anyway? |

personally i think like the lyrics are very literate? not as in wordrich or like wide in education but its like very tactile even surreal. like i dont know what kind of books you or even dave reads but theres some books like Waiting for Godot and The Dumb Waiter that are a bit surreal. the whole FF record is sort of brown. i dont know what that means tho and anyway my point is. it sounds to me like this guy who's been like a big kid his entire life (sort of like What's My Age Again? by Blink-182) and he just got home from a long day out and he probably had an argument with some friend and hes home tired stretching their back on the bed alone and they look at their lamp and out of the window and start to overthink life and stuff so its just very weird. i literally dont know what the song or anything i said means lol but i think its sort of about thinking those things and even growing up?????????????? scratch that |

| i think it's about well agony duh but like i believe its maybe something social or the feeling of being frozen or paralized or weak and alone. like feeling you cant keep up with friends or feeling the friendships untying and feeling completely alone. the lines "ice will make a thousand sculptures and ice will spit them out" may sound a bit like a schrodingers cat sort of thought, where when youre totally alone you can rebuild yourself entirely and break down and again and nothing will have changed and like, maybe even not knowing who you are anymore. | |

Well the first lines (Everywhere you are - That's everywhere you are) to me sound like a kind of outside in sonder. look up the word if you're not familiar. basically it's the feeling of realizing everyone around you has a life and a timeline and sad and great things happen to them all the time and they have their own demons and hopes and dreams and stuff, each one of them, and those lines seem to express the feeling of maybe triggering a sonder into people around you, including yourself, and realizing you're part of life and you're bigger than you think and all the people you touched and all the people you talked to they might think the same and this strikes you like a lightning and never stops and continues into an infinitely deep loop of levels of sonder. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! the part that goes allthrough the broken glass is more of like all through the broken you it's about overcoming your scars and moving on to a new life (the conceptual figure of Glass can be found inside each one of us i believe) Your love must always be true/you is something like Come As You Are by Nirvana. it's like always coming clean and being sincere and not being afraid to love the things you love and not be afraid to NOT love certain things and always giving your heart out to each little thing you do in life and interact with it as though you were totally alone and nothing of this would be remembered sort of like being a little kid or maybe being on acid possibly i never tried it but i heard that when you take it you become very sincere about everything you see and hear and feel and stuff yeah the following lines are about how every little thing you do no matter how little always matters and always will lead to the salvation or doom of the world many many millions of years from now and everything you do is crucial to everything that is happening all around and there's no burden messing up because you'll always find light in yourself and you'll always be able to find the best way out within yourself since you are perfect and everyone is literally perfect including their flaws each one fits themselves perfectly their skin is shaped just for them so no matter what they will find themselves best inside them and can never fall out of their comfort zone if they follow themselves and are sincere and absolutely careless about other people's opinions and comments even if you are evil and destroy everything you touch i'm sure this is exactly who you are and that's part of you and when you isolate yourself you will find true happiness in it. And in your mind - every single chard is something like embracing your past and your past forms and the things you liked and did before even when you don't do them anymore and realizing it was always you and realizing life's a change and you're one with it and you are life itself no less and you can change all you want and it will still be you as much as all your pastselves and maybe even feeling like time is a lie and everything happens at the same moment you are thousands in one right, now, and you have to realize this. Everywhere you are - the rest is up to you is about understanding isolation is never a problem and you will always be part of the everything and you will always be included so if you think things have gone too badly you can just come back by following your heart and you will find yourself and whatever you do you just have to be yourself and the whole audience will applaud and everything will take its toll and things will go on and really you can't decide by going out the stage since that is your line it's sort of a predestinist philosophy i think Phase unwound - New face dawns is about the relativity of things and realizing they are not what they seem and like Pause of light is about how darkness doesn't exist it's only the pause of light and that can be translated as you wish and this whole part is sort of like not condemning the world and just going back on the stage and be part of it and get up and sing you know like have the fun you were born to have Everywhere you are - That's everywhere you are is about how even if you're sad and even if you feel dead inside the observation of all will continue and you will be told on to future generations so it's up to you if you want to last three stories or live in the eyes of 20 lives so it's about being noticed and wanting attention and your decision about it so it's like how you use your moods and what you do with your life always in the mouths of thousands Everywhere you are - Everywhere you are is about understanding that your scars and your flaws and your memories all make who you are and the whole biological construction that keeps you alive don't mean a thing when really it's your soul always shot by your life and that might be why life always changes because nothing is ever static everything always moves and your life is no exception so you will always change and the parts you wish weren't there and the things you wish didn't happen are part of you and your reaction to them and to the understanding process i'm talking about is even more of you to mount up to your trueself or wholeself maybe so it's about trusting yourself in entirety and being true and understanding everything you are, this whole big infinite mess. that's what i think this is a very uplifting song about finding yourself inside and out and embracing it thanks have a nice day/drive safely. |
