Sense Lyrics

Lyric discussion by AlaileScribe 

Cover art for Sense lyrics by Pete Yorn

If you take the song to be a "sixth sense" piece, I think that the words are being said by the main characters in the film. Things or actions being taken are being seen in a way that's different than what's intended. Giving a wrong impression to what's actually happening. Also recall in the movie the little boy tells the doctor to talk to his wife while she is sleeping "he's showing her things that she only dreamed up". By the way I read the lyrics on the cover of the cd and he says "you never change" not "changed". It's present tense. To say that no matter how hard people are trying no one's making an effort to change. Oh also if you listen to the end words "something wont forgive it all" it sounds like it's coming through a tape recorder. To act as the voice of the dead warning that things are still in the air, unfinished. This happening while he continues to sing "you never change" also saying that they (the dead) will never stop til they've done what they have to do.
