Animal Sounds Lyrics
Pick out a few
get something easy
gotta lot of excuses
just to keep yourself here
Without a clue
taking a number
cause you're just feeling younger
at the end of this day
Oversee you
under a ceiling
that you don't quite believe in
but are willing to try
After we do
listen much closer
so the game makes you wonder
where it's taking us next
Sometimes you love
where you go
but you never
really do know
of the ways
to go down
under a world full of animal sounds
Looking through glass
waking the neighbors
cause you want them to save us
from keeping you here
Making it stop
under a ceiling
that you don't quite believe in
but are willing to try
get something easy
gotta lot of excuses
just to keep yourself here
taking a number
cause you're just feeling younger
at the end of this day
under a ceiling
that you don't quite believe in
but are willing to try
listen much closer
so the game makes you wonder
where it's taking us next
where you go
but you never
really do know
of the ways
to go down
under a world full of animal sounds
waking the neighbors
cause you want them to save us
from keeping you here
under a ceiling
that you don't quite believe in
but are willing to try

I love the way this song moves.Soft and fluid, but with a edge just below the surface. Something interesting I found in the lyric (not sure if it was intentional, but could be) is this:
Syllables for each line of all verses:
4 5 7 6
...except for the second to the last verse, where the last line has only 5 syllables. This is the only line in the whole song that does not follow the rule, and I'm trying to find out if there is a significance. Anyone else have any guesses or ideas why this may have been done, artistically, or to convey some other, non-verbal message? Feel free to respond. I'm curious.
I get the idea this song has something to do with religious dogma and belief, and although the system is unnatural and hard to follow, there may be greater principles and truth despite the garbage mankind, over time, has created around these institutions that only confuses our spirit and obscures it from reaching its potential. However, regardless of that there is One thing for sure: We can't go back to the old ways of being, to live comfortably in the world of 'animal sounds'. Agree? Disagree?
