Adding It Up
Unraveling Life's Equations: Four Star Riot's 'Adding It Up'
Lyrics
Free out the door and then
Expressing freedom or liberation
All that you try there's
Despite efforts, there's no possibility of reversal
no going back
Alluding to a point of no return
We almost found out
Nearly discovering or realizing something
Or did we know what we wanted
Questioning if we knew our desires from the beginning
all along
Suggesting a potential revelation or self-awareness
These open sores agape
Referring to vulnerabilities or emotional wounds
Deal with the holes you make
Addressing the consequences of one's actions
How do you know that
Raising uncertainty about knowledge and certainty
one and one make two?
Pondering the certainty of basic arithmetic
How do you know they don't?
Challenging assumptions and questioning possibilities
Point of view
Emphasizing the influence of perspective
How do you know,
Continuation of questioning and uncertainty
do you know we're
Highlighting potential differences or uniqueness
not the same?
Asserting that individuals may not be identical
Adding it up, no following through
Expressing a failure to sum things up and take action
Adding it up, no following through
Repeating the theme of not completing or following through
How do you know?
Persisting in questioning and uncertainty
Do you know what will never do?
Pondering what is unacceptable or won't work
Adding it up, no following through
Reiterating the theme of incompleteness or inaction
Adding it up, no following through
Concluding with a repetition of the lack of follow-through
