I think Robert is singing about existential boredom in this song. \n\nHe is bored with the world and wants to feel something deeper. Something more intense. His daily life just doesn’t do it for him anymore. \n\nMaybe he feels like the world is far too predictable and repetitive, therefore boring.\n\n“I want the sky to fall in\nI want lightning and thunder\nI want fire instead of rain\nI want the world to make me wonder”\n\nHe wants something else. Something different and maybe even something unearthly. Just a simple change in his boring and stale life.\n\nHe wants the world to make him wonder what will happen next. However, he knows it can’t be, and accepting that you must live in the same world and cant escape to another dimension, where you can live and feel more, is very hard.\n\nI think some of the meaning of these lyrics slightly correlate with the 2nd track of “wild mood swings” (this is a lie). In this is a lie I think he talks about 2 people wanting to know the meaning of life and the universe, having different opinions and not particularly wanting to take the other persons opinion into consideration.\n\n“How each of us denies any other way in the world” \n Is one of the lyrics of “this is a lie”, and I think it could also be talking about way of living, which is likely more probable than my other theory. I think I just saw such a nice connection between the two songs so I cast away the most likely meaning. \n\nMoving on,\n“However unsure, however unwise, day after day we play out our lives, however confused, pretending to know to the end” \n\nThis one I think tells us about how these 2 people are in a bit of denial because of their ignorance about the universe, way of living and the end of it all. They are so frustrated about not knowing that they decide on one theory and stick to that, convincing themselves that this is the truth, even if deep down they know, that it’s not.\n\n“This isn’t truth, this isn’t right, this isn’t love, this isn’t life, this isn’t real, this is a lie”\nAre also lyrics in the song, which was what I referenced in the prior statement.\n\nCONCLUSION\n\n“How each of us dreams to understand anything at all.” Is such a beautiful way of describing the lust you can feel to understand life and the origins of it. You can be so invested in it that it’s frustrating and accepting this can be even more frustrating. You want clues, you want something different, or something to work with. \n\nPulling back the lyric “I want the world to make me wonder”. When you know there is something deeper in the world. You want to know, but everything seems so bland. And you are so bored waiting for an answer to everything. You just want the world to make you wonder, maybe by strange occurrences etc. \n\nThis probably seems so far fetched, ik, half of the time I didn’t know what I was writing either.
