I just discovered this song, and these lyrics are what stuck out to me (shelly talked a little bit about these earlier):
And everything I know is what I need to know.
And everything I do's been done before.
Every sentence in my head,
Someone else has said.
At each end of my life is an open door.
While I definitely get the mechanistic future ideas and the robot mentality, I actually felt like these were some really positive lyrics, because they have that idea of the oneness of everything. I don't NEED to know more than I already know, although I may WANT to know more. I can't do or say anything that hasn't been done or said before, but just because it's been done or said doesn't mean it's less meaningful to me when I do or say it. The last line is my favorite because of that idea of a continual existence, and that it underscores the fact that really, our lives don't matter at all in the larger picture, but they have all the meaning to us because they ARE our lives. There's a certain comfort and freedom in that to me. Great song!
