If my soul could revive
From my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then noone really is free
How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see
In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain of sand
And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand
How I wish there was heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see
How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see
From my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then noone really is free
How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see
In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain of sand
And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim
Cause we cannot understand
How I wish there was heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There may be more than we can see
How could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see

He finds that no matter how hard we try, or who we listen to, no one really knows. In the song he seems to be be debating life after death. On the one hand "Human reason counters all, ideas of a soul society". but in the next chorus, Our lives are just a fragment, of the univers and all, there must be more than we can see".
This is one of the most meaningful songs i've ever heard, and it really shows many of the emtions that people, at least i've felt. Science tells us the life does not exist after death, but there is so much in this universe that we do not know, is it possible?
Just wanted to add, "And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim Cause we cannot understand" He seems to be taking a shot at the people who let their thoughts about the afterlife guide their lives. i.e. don't sin or you'll go to hell. We worry so much about what will happen after we die that our lives seem to revolve around it. We simply can't understand.
Moral of the story? Confusion.
Of course this will tie into the Helena Ariel story. He sold his soul to the devil, did a few things which resulted in his wife wandering off and dying, and he is contemplating what will become of him after death.
This song speaks about the speakers life and what he feel's while reflecting on all the things he has done and what life had put him through - it defines- "Life is a clay urn on the mantle and we are just the fragments on the floor"
Moreover, the speaker see's so much pain and sin in this whole world and he feels faithless to believe in Heaven cuz the corruption and other bad deeds never end eventhough we all pray numerous times so deeply for it to cease - but everything remains the same. And when he says IDEAS OF A SOUL SOCIETY ...THERE MUST BE MORE THAN I CAN SEE...he frames a Universal picture in his mind of how we humans can be together as brothers and sisters living in a perfect world where Mankind and Humanity is seen and not war, hatred, jealousy, and other evils.
This song has helped me get through my rough times....
"How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and all
There must be more than I can see"
\m/(^_^)\m/ Rocks!
Coincidentally, in the Bleach anime/manga, 'Soul Society' is where most people go when they die. And it's definitly not a flawless place. I wonder, if whoever wrote this song also has read the comic.
"Hate is ... natural"
"Reach out and ... "
"Let it go"
"...Think we have a soul?"
"Maniacal laughter"
No idea how to make sense of that, and I can't find an official transcript of it anywhere on the internet.
Thats probalby just me though, but nevertheless great song.
Let me tangle your system...
Did you believe in your god - think that we'd miss you?"
That's what I think the whispers say
