Under My Nose Lyrics
The wind has changed and now it's brought
all the sweetest smells that I forgot.
Not the faintest stench from the old days
as it all finally drifts away.
Damn those skeptics, harbingers of doom: negative epidemic, followers of Hume.
He understands all her needs,
and for that she loves him eternally.
Syncretism is so natural and
they're experiencing something so actual.
"My sun is shining, how about yours?
It's kind of blinding, burn my eyes pure."
It's all been worth it. (x8)
Now he looks forward to waking up,
she's unstuck him from his rut.
He couldn't wait to run off and go to sleep
and let all his problems make their retreat.
"Used to wake up screaming,
stolen from our dreams;
now I wake up beaming
and the world just gleams."
It's all been worth it. (x8)
With a sense of impending doom
that it's all going to end too soon,
it's all too good to be true,
where the fuck is the other shoe?
It's all been worth it. (x16)
all the sweetest smells that I forgot.
Not the faintest stench from the old days
as it all finally drifts away.
Damn those skeptics, harbingers of doom: negative epidemic, followers of Hume.
He understands all her needs,
and for that she loves him eternally.
Syncretism is so natural and
they're experiencing something so actual.
"My sun is shining, how about yours?
It's kind of blinding, burn my eyes pure."
It's all been worth it. (x8)
she's unstuck him from his rut.
He couldn't wait to run off and go to sleep
and let all his problems make their retreat.
"Used to wake up screaming,
stolen from our dreams;
now I wake up beaming
and the world just gleams."
that it's all going to end too soon,
it's all too good to be true,
where the fuck is the other shoe?

Lovers having a great time, with the "sense of impending doom." This is only the third song, gotta be more bad shit that happens.
How often do you hear someone rhyme with a philosopher... Thats the coolest part for me. Hume was a known for expressing the view that sensations and feelings are the root of everything for humans. There is no giant thing called "Reason" to follow. In this case, I think the lovers would dislike followers of Hume because they would question the reality of their "Love."
In this part of the story, David and Veronica are in a relationship but David has an ominous and unshakable feeling that the world will take a turn for the worse (by the mention of "world just gleams", I'm thinking nuclear).
