Probably one of my favorite APP songs. The song starts lyrically as a parabolic question - "What goes up, must come down". Everything that shines must fade. Nothing can with stand the constant dynamic nature of our planet and the universe. Eventually everything ends. The song is referring to the many weaknesses mankind has His arrogance that his monuments will withstand anything thrown at them, war, disaster, weather and time. "How can you be so sure? How do you know what the earth will endure? " Questioning that man made arrogance that he will last forever.
The reality is that all monuments and cities eventually are destroyed and either rebuilt or forgotten about. Societies melt away eventually along with their wonders, roads, cities and ethics.
@theorganiz Yes, but isn't it also saying that even though nothing lasts for ever it's not a reason to do good things... "If all things must all. Why build a miracle at all?" seems like a rhetorical question.

@theorganiz everything is lost over time, so wanting something to last forever is futile. Live for today. Build for the tomorrow that may come.
