The Phantom Agony is an awesome song. In fact it's probably one of my favorite songs of all time, but Design Your Universe runs a close second. :)

Still, am I the only one who thinks this is a nihilist anthem? Particularly this line from the second verse screams "nihilist" to me:

What's the point of life And what's the meaning if we all die in the end? Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
