Reflexivity Lyrics
these are the days i fear when my real enemy is right here. my reflection yields immobility. and it’s so hard to disagree. i’m disarmed by dreams of release and so were you once. but i never meant to become like you full of hopelessness we always fall, but not always together and this is what scares me the most. unless one of us is wrong, you? thinking you know the way out of here? or me.
The audio samples in the middle of the song (starting around 1:36) sound like Noam Chomsky to me.
Reflexivity is the Social Sciences analog to Heisenburgian uncertainty. It is the idea that by studying a system, you will affect the system in a way that modifies the very things you are studying.
awesome song, reminds me of my friend, i just recently started listening to penfold but i already heart them
I love the breakdown towards the end of this song. And the lyrics kill me too - [ but i never meant to become like you full of hopelessness we always fall, but not always together and this is what scares me the most. unless one of us is wrong, you? thinking you know the way out of here? or me. ]
Such a good album closer.
i enjoy both the lyrics and the way he sings them in this one part: (3:55)we always fall, but not always together the way he sings with the voice gives me chills every time i hear it.
Agreed with the other two. It just leaves you stunned, no matter how many times you listen to it.
i will miss penfold 1997-2003.
Does anyone know what the audio is saying that starts around 1:36, like hemlockecho mentioned? I'm only here like two decades later -- I was born in the wrong generation but I'll make do with it.
@SunnyWithA_Chance no idea but would love to know, likewise the audio from Human Drama. glad to see a fellow penfold listener in the 2020s
