Willful Suspension of Disbelief Lyrics

Everywhere everywhere everywhere everywhere
Everywhere everywhere everywhere everywhere
Everywhere everywhere everywhere everywhere

It's all so plain it's all a plan
It's all so clear to most everyone
The sky it doesn't ever end
The air just gets much thinner further up

You keep digging down and down
A thousand graves down
Without turning around or finding hell
You find you're digging up again

Everywhere everywhere everywhere everywhere
Willful suspension of disbelief

Everywhere everywhere everywhere everywhere
Willful suspension of disbelief

wow, dancingbears that seems very plausable. when he talks about the sky never ending, it could be seens you will never find heaven. and digging down, you will never find hell. and the name of the song cause you need to duspend your disbelief to have faith in religion.

Well in the title of the album "everywhere and his nasty parlor tricks," "everywhere" sounds as if it isnt referring to a place but a characters name, and you often hear people say that god is everywhere. I wonder if this is a play on the word and so god is the character "everywhere"

what a rad song im not to sure what its about but it seems like its saying you can look for something and spend your whole life looking for it but that if its something unatainable something that you cant really get that one thing you want but cant have it just seems like your going in circles

this song could easily have religious connotations. you'll never find heaven or hell.

yeah, this is my favorite song by mm, yeah, i agree about the heaven and hell theme, i thought the same thing first time i read the lyrics, you can never find heaven or hell no matter how far you go.

While the heaven and hell thing makes a lot of sense, I don't know if it is entirely plausable given the fact that Isaac Brock is a very outspoken atheist. He states that clearly in many of the songs, so I'm just not sure if that factor fits in.

That's what atheist means; someone who doesn't believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. That's what this song is saying; that you're not going to find heaven or hell no matter how far you dig or how high you go up because they don't exist. And even though Isaac says that he's atheist I dont think it's entirely true. From what I got from some of his other songs, it would seem like sometimes he would like to believe that there is a heaven, cause it's a pretty depressing thought that there will be no afterlife after you die. I'm the same way.

I dont find it depressing that there is on afterlife. I am a very happy atheist. Issac obviously has some opinions on religion, from what I understand, he grew up in various religious sects throughout the northwest. I have never met the man so i cant say what his beliefs are, but from his lyrics i gather he does not believe in god, and certainly is not a follower of organized religion.

i think its about what zouyan said and also maybe how amazing and wierd the thought of "everywhere" is.

"The sky doesn't ever end The air just gets much thinner further up"

"You could keep diggin' down and down A thousand graves down without turnin' around or finding hell You find you're diggin' up again"

maybe the cd title is Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks because the thought of "everywhere" helped create religion.

hahaha this is all random thoughts that are almost for sure wrong.
