Conceptual Paths Lyrics

Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
Existential weight no longer holds you back
Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
I'm ready for the future; I'm ready for what happens next

If you don't (Want to) know how you're going to eat
Tomorrow, you can get what you want. You can get what you want
If you don't (Want to) know where you're going to sleep
Tomorrow, you can get what you want. You can get what you want

Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
Existential weight no longer holds you back
Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
I'm ready for the future; I'm ready for what happens next

Abstract illusions of a free mind. You don't owe anything to anyone. You don't owe anything to anywhere
Abstract illusions of a free will. You don't owe anything to anyone. You don't owe anything to anywhere

Don't spend your life paying rent to a slumlord

Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
Existential weight no longer holds you back
Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
I'm ready for the future; I'm ready for what happens next

Seems to like this is about being free when you're at the rock bottom, like Fight Club says. The only way to go is up, and you can go up to where ever you want.

Cover art for Conceptual Paths lyrics by Tom Gabel

I think he is saying the future is wide open when you let go of those thoughts and feelings that say nothing has a point, there is no reason for anything, the world is hopeless. He may have felt that way previously and now that he doesn't feel that he is kind of scared of what the future has to bring. I don't understand that part where he says "If you don't (Want to) know how you're going to eat Tomorrow, you can get what you want. You can get what you want If you don't (Want to) know where you're going to sleep Tomorrow, you can get what you want. You can get what you want" so if anyone has any ideas.....

Song Meaning

I think he's basically saying that comfort and routine robs you of freedom in a sense. When we lose that comfort and routine we get a bit fearful of the freedom since it's so uncertain. It's about getting over that fear. Fight Club said it well, "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."

read the book days of war, nights of love its crimethInc, it'll make the song make a lot of sense
