Lyrics
We never ask the question
We never question things.
When we're lost in the contemplation
When contemplating, we get lost without asking questions.
Of all the day's action
Reflecting on the day's events.
Audience and star
Reference to both audience and star (performer).
Lessons to be learned, I'm sure you're right
Acknowledging there are lessons, but questioning their validity.
But we never even question why
Not questioning the reasons behind actions.
Through it all there must be more
Speculation that there's more to life than what's experienced.
'Cause doesn't all this amount to nothing
Doubting the significance of everything.
We say it's proof, and forever
Asserting something as proof and eternal.
'We're alive, and we made it live'
Celebrating survival and existence.
Record, put on pause
Stopping to appreciate and reflect (pause).
Put the screen before the eye
Putting screens and distractions before personal experience.
Let the memory subside
Allowing memories to fade away.
Just to come around once more
Repeating the cycle, coming back to the same point.
I wanna be present
Expressing a desire to be fully present in the moment.
I can feel it slipping through
Sensing the passage of time.
Hamstrung attention
Attention hindered or restricted.
In search of something new
Searching for something new despite constraints.
Thirty second bursts, what a sight, what a day
Describing brief moments and their impact.
A thumb and then it's out of mind
Dismissal of thoughts after a short time.
Through it all there must be more
Reiteration of the doubt about the significance of everything.
'Cause doesn't all this amount to nothing
Questioning the meaningfulness of experiences.
We say it's proof, and forever
Repeating the assertion of proof and eternity.
'We're alive, and we made it live'
Celebrating survival and existence (repeated).
Record, put on pause
Reflecting on life and events (repeated).
Hold the screen before the eye
Emphasizing the presence of screens and distractions.
Feel the emptiness subside
Feeling a sense of emptiness.
Just to come around once more
Repeating the cycle of coming back to the same point.
I see it in your eyes that there's a lie you'd need a life to tell me
Perceiving a lie in someone's eyes, requiring a lifetime to reveal.
Read between the lines: 'unsatisfied', but aren't we both, though?
Recognizing dissatisfaction in the unspoken.
We need it to remind us all of all the life that's out there because
Highlighting the need for reminders of life beyond routine.
Oh, otherwise
Expressing a potential alternative or consequence.
Otherwise
Repetition of "otherwise" for emphasis.
I see it in your eyes
Observing a hidden truth in someone's eyes.
But you can't say it
Being unable to vocalize the observed truth.
Read between the lines
Encouraging reading between the lines for understanding.
It makes no sense to me
Expressing confusion about certain things.
Need this to remind us all of life and truth and oh
Reiterating the need for reminders of life and truth.
Otherwise, it'll all just be a small part of our history
Highlighting the potential insignificance of current actions in the future.
