Why's it so strange when they say
That the world's movin' upwards?
Why's it surreal when my hands
Feel they can't roll the dice?
Why's it so great just to wake every day
Alive and by your side
It's a mystery I guess
There's lots of things I can't find
It's not the way that you look
But your move that catches my eye

Why's it so soft when the cannons
Unload on the others?
Why're we so loud when we say
It won't happen to us?
Why does my mind blow to bits
Every time they play that song?
It's just the way that he sings
Not the words that he says, or the band
I'm in love with this soul
It's a meaning that I understand

    Song Meaning

    Everything up to the last three lines are just things. As the listener, relate to them, enjoy them, sing them, apply them whatever you like, 'cause they're leading up to the point of the song: "Not the words that he says, or the band. I'm in love with this soul, It's a meaning that I understand."
