Something resonates with me in the last two lines of the chorus. I especially think "the feeling when it all works out" is a great answer to the question of the meaning of life.
The first two lines of the chorus have the narrator think of a vague memory, almost drawing more attention to the process of remembering something in general. It's almost as if the self-conscious experience of having a memory prompts the next lyrics: the grandest of questions and an elegant answer. After all, human memory, and much of the human mind and brain, is still much of a mystery to us, as is the Universe and all its parallels. The lyrics seem to imply that a positive feeling or experience is the meaning of creation, the solution to the great mystery. Love? Happiness? The feeling when it all works out?
I think it's a brilliant chorus, simple yet thought provoking.
