My Mathematical Mind

I can't believes no one's posted for this song, it's my favorite on "Gimme Fiction". The lyrics remind me of a malfunctioning machine

I think it's about being logical in a relationship, but nothing is logical. Trying to do something, to be logical or at least, conventional and failing.

no more riding the brakes

freaking awsome

How good is this album?

I agree with omivoreron - I think it's about being too logical in a relationship, but then realising that you take a risk by being too calculating ("I'm gonna see the stakes") and letting yourself be irrational and let it go.

I always thought that this was about a relationship, so I thought that "planning for the Apocalypse" and "bringing about the Apocalypse" referred to the end of the relationship.

honestly i always thought he was saying "and you go setting it off / but never giving a thought / to those setting it up"

which i think is much more meaningful.

but whatever good song

don't overthink. often your first thought is correct.

It always sounded like "I'm gonna see mistakes" to me, but I guess I'm wrong. Either way... yeah.

I can see the logical relatonship thing, but then I also feel like it's someone who wants to change everybody's mind. It's a person who believes they are right, they can always see your problems, like I said, they're "gonna see mistakes", and they "wanna' change your mind". But then, they go backfire on themselves. Being so critical, they prepare for everything, apocalypses. It's a bad habit, they believe, and they wouldn't suggest for other people to be like them, but like smoking, they can't just stop.
