6:45 (So This Is How It Feels) Lyrics
6:45
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding
As meanwhile I
I drink alone outside the bar at the end of the world
So this is how it feels
10:25
And there's a girl with cold eyes but her stockings are running
And anyway
She's just the end of a melody that sings to me of you
So this is how it feels
To stagger from the undergrowth
And rediscover emptiness
Dancing on the beach
About 2:05
The band's on fire, it's a pyre and the bodies are burning
I'm still alive
But as the papers have assured me, I won't be for long
So this is how it feels
So this is how it feels
To walk upon the waves alone
With nothing to conceal
So this is how it feels
To crawl out from the accident
And die beneath your wheels
Nearly 4 am
I'm just a ripple in the tide and the tide is receding
I really can't pretend
That the end feels like anything more than a joke
So this is how it feels
So this is how it feels
To throw your past onto the floor
And smash it beneath your heels
So this is how it feels
To catch your face in a broken glass
And know that that's what's real
6:45
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding
As meanwhile I
I drink alone outside the bar at the end of the world
So this is how it feels
And there's a girl with cold eyes but her stockings are running
And anyway
She's just the end of a melody that sings to me of you
So this is how it feels
And rediscover emptiness
Dancing on the beach
The band's on fire, it's a pyre and the bodies are burning
I'm still alive
But as the papers have assured me, I won't be for long
So this is how it feels
To walk upon the waves alone
With nothing to conceal
So this is how it feels
To crawl out from the accident
And die beneath your wheels
I'm just a ripple in the tide and the tide is receding
I really can't pretend
That the end feels like anything more than a joke
So this is how it feels
To throw your past onto the floor
And smash it beneath your heels
So this is how it feels
To catch your face in a broken glass
And know that that's what's real
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding

Tod was on a three year sabbatical in the middle east and asia when he wrote the songs on The Golden Hour. He said in an interview he was basically sick of America, and wanted to see the countries that we were bombing. He might have been traveling in an attempt to look for deeper meaning in life, since American culture can be so materialistic. To me, this song is an expression of the disappointment he experienced when he realized other cultures are just as clueless about the meaning of life as we are.
