My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
Each and every portent
Of bitter substance spent
Despite the effort I have planned
You seem to lose what I’ve meant
If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met
Those who created know
Air is in man and blow
Only the value given shows
That meaning comes and goes
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met
If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and goes
~To me, this song means that words only make sense if they mean something, and that everyone interprets them differently. It seems to mean that sometimes you understand what is said, and sometimes you don't. (I'm not really sure yet; just guessing, this was my first time hearing the song today.)
