I love the way this song moves.Soft and fluid, but with a edge just below the surface. Something interesting I found in the lyric (not sure if it was intentional, but could be) is this:

Syllables for each line of all verses:

4 5 7 6

...except for the second to the last verse, where the last line has only 5 syllables. This is the only line in the whole song that does not follow the rule, and I'm trying to find out if there is a significance. Anyone else have any guesses or ideas why this may have been done, artistically, or to convey some other, non-verbal message? Feel free to respond. I'm curious.

However, regardless of that there is One thing for sure: We can't go back to the old ways of being, to live comfortably in the world of 'animal sounds'. Agree? Disagree?
