"Please don't ask me why
True as a sky
everyone is born to die"
Why are we born to die? Is there a [hidden] reason? Or: is it just a coincidence, chance?
No idea the singer says. And that is probably what most people (I suspect) would probably say.
Ultimately, though, the question is not what is important. It's what we answer, what we tell ourselves that is.
"you find yourself in trouble
if you cannot tell a lie
its easy as pie"
To me ... I think this means that sometimes we do have to lie somewhat about things in general or things that we
at first instance, perceive as untrue. This goes back to the other line that says "you can't regret what you forget, if
only you could forget it" which imo means that there are some things that we do need to forget and lie about (to a point)
because if you don't those things can hold you back ... be it mistakes committed in the past, etc. ... so a person that is creative ... may be more "powerful" in the sense that they are not held back by things ... because they are creative. I think that's Sean Lennon's opinion and it is also mine.
