Sa is all about reincarnation. In the 3 choruses it sounds like hes talkin ab someone who left him for reasons he doesnt know and hes imagining how he will feel about it in the future life he will be reincarnated into OR he is talking about a womans refusal to accept his child and he is imagining the endless amount of effects that could happen.. in the end he has already told her his feelings theres nothing he can do......
in the last verse Sa is checking up with you telling you his wild different view wondering if you feel the same "do you see..."
@jpa23245 I think the beauty of 311 lyrics, is that they for sure were written in such a way as to become a living thing, that can grow with you, and can change with you. Well, for sure as in that is what i believe. I like your interpretations, and I too have always thought it was about reincarnation, but I will add that I always thought the "narrator" (yes, SA lyrics, but maybe not written from "his" perspective) was in fear of his own demise at some point, and not even able to fully admit that ALL...

It even says that very "part" that you are afraid will fade away, is already back anyway, as time doesn't exist, and is digging that you miss "it", and it in fact is alive and well and trying to reach out so that you know... hence I feel like the solo embodies that yearing for it to communicate back. Just as much as "we" want to know truth, truth wants us to know we have it already. Then there is the section saying you don't need to mysticyze the cycle of birth, death, rebirth- don't try to personify it with deities and religions, then maybe you will miss the whole point of life and actually worship a concept of what you yourself literally ARE. The last verse is reassuring the seeker that all is well, they will be back to have this convo and thought again and again. Haha long time for a trippy reply, but hope you dig it.
