Cover art for Palms Read lyrics by Protest the Hero

I think the song is about how humans are killing themselves, (metaphorically of course!) How we don't understand how anything works "convinced the grass is greener on dry earth". We think we can do anything, and we will die because of it. This can possibly be linked to the death of our planet. Humans are cowardice. About the fossils line? The whole line "Understand that only dying is this colossal, creation shedding skin to find a perfect equilibrium like fossils" could be saying that we take death for nothing. Death is the final step in life, and it, at its best, is preserved for everybody to remember, like fossils (and possibly that we should cherish life before we kill it)

The closing lines, to me, shout out that we will never realize how humanity came to be, but know that we are here and that we need to make life last.

as for the two minutes part about two minutes later, Flidais comes out from the forest to kick the humans in the ass. (about two minutes later, in album time, the first lines from Limb From Limb are sung)

As for the title? I think it might be a typo, possibly supposed to be "Psalms Read" Although it is probably supposed to be as in "Palm reading" as in "our future is inevitable, we will die."

whewwwwww
