Engines Lyrics

First off let me say I love this song. I find it very poetic, but can't really pinpoint its true meaning. I like how the chorus: 'You say you love me like the silence of the turning Earth You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears You say you love me like the past the now the coming years'

Seems to almost zoom in. From the earth, to our lives, to their relationship, to something purely mental, and invented, like time.
