The Great Curve Lyrics

Cover art for The Great Curve lyrics by Talking Heads

SHE IS TRUTH: "She has messages for everyone..." "She...has got to move the world...to move the world...to move the world / A world of light...she's gonna open our eyes up..." "She shakes 'em up when she start to walk..."

"She" is divine. "She is only partly human being / Divine, to define, she is moving to define..." - this represents the divinity of truth and she is only present partly in human beings.

She can't control how she is used "Hands that move her are invisible..."

She lasts for eternity. "Holding on for an Eternity... Gone...ending without finishing..." - truth endures.

Night is the opposite of "...a world of light...". It must fall now, meaning it precedes truth.
