The Never-Ending Why Lyrics

Cover art for The Never-Ending Why lyrics by Placebo

I'm unsure about your "As spiders kissing fly"...

but the next line "And the tumor becomes a rhyme" ..should be: "And the tumor becomes malign" which ties in with the theme of the rest of the song. Brian sings about the worst outcomes in his given scenarios.. -an imploding atom -the downfall of a kingdom -a tremor becoming an earthquake -a body found in a lake.. and etc.

I'm not sure but think it's got to do with the maybe accepting the inevitable, instead of searching for answers that don't exist or can't be explained - i.e. the never-ending why. In the chorus I feel he's telling us that time, an infinite continuum independent to us, isn't on our side, and also perhaps it isn't ours for the taking.
