hey grim, you're halfway there. If all we have going for us is a life that we spend chasing after sex (Rapture, Second Best), material posessions(Indian Summer, Progress), professional success, (Penetration) and comfort (Options, Progress), life isn't worth living. Trying to life a life where we pretend our actions are meaningless, unrelated to anything other than the goal of that specific action, can't work. Actions mean things, life has a purpose by it's very nature. Trying to live like that's not true makes a life that can't give us the happiness we chase, even when we make that the end goal, hence the hopelesness of the last three songs. Ciao! ^_^
