about

everything I said above about the shortened song format applies even more so for this song. actually, all somewhat responds to conception. while I chose not to draw the picture specifically (though perhaps I should have), I had plato’s allegory of the cave in mind. to suggest that a conception has potential is to suggest that it is more than it is. thought and especially our thoughts about ourselves are ultimately just illusions that cover physical reality, and eventually death and nothingness. though we may find comfort in reading into the progression of this life or that the track of destiny or fulfillment or progress, ultimately human history and human life are each a parentheses which only have meaning for those of us within the brackets, and which will eventually erode away into the dust from which it came. in that light, to consider anything a disappointment is just as much as projection and a mistake as to consider anything fulfilling or meaningful. at least that is one way of looking at it. the interesting thing about this sort of philosophical perspective-izing is that you can interpret and ontologize into whatever best suits the attitude you already seem to have, to suit your mood in the moment, or your disposition as a person. (of course, only a very few over-analyzing morons use the word ‘ontologize’ or think of it that way when they do it. for most, it is spontaneous and thus immediate and obvious. while I value the ability to question, I also envy the ability to just accept.)

lyrics

Feeling of movement sensory deception called forestalled postponed destination

Drawing on the walls forgetting as the truth? Journey forestalled predestination The continued reading of chance into meaning And rhymed nonsense for our insignificance

Promise conceived but merely deceived Equal empty but meaning the same Feeling and light trapped in the night Parenthetic desolation

The stillness is all The surface is all In this floating world We’re nothing at all
