Start Making Sense
Navigating Chaos: Finding Clarity in Ryan and Pony's 'Start Making Sense'
Lyrics
There was a time we had to break things down
Reflecting on a past time when breaking things down was necessary.
Life seemed so logical we spun ourselves around
Life was once perceived as logical, but the perspective led to confusion.
To see if we could come unwound
Experimenting with unraveling oneself to understand the limits.
But now it seems that we have gone too far
Suggesting that current circumstances have exceeded acceptable limits.
Time to step back and take a look at who we are
Advocating for a step back to reassess one's identity and actions.
Are we living on a dying star?
Pondering whether existence is on a declining trajectory.
Start making sense
Encouraging the need to make sense of the situation.
And stop making dents
Emphasizing the importance of avoiding negative impacts on confidence.
In my confidence
Addressing the need to repair and reconcile.
That we can make amends
Verse 2:
-We studied fiction and we studied dreams
Describing the exploration of fiction and dreams until reality disrupts.
Until reality was tearing at the seams
Reality's impact on perception, leading to extremes.
We were polarized to extremes
Experiencing polarization and extreme viewpoints.
Hear what you want to hear
Listening selectively to what aligns with personal desires.
And fear when you can't see clear
Fearing when clarity is absent.
But someday we'll face the facts
Anticipating a confrontation with facts and reality.
And truth will make a comeback
Believing that truth will eventually prevail.
Start making sense
Reiterating the importance of making sense of the situation.
And stop making dents
Stressing the need to avoid damaging confidence.
In my confidence
Requesting a consideration of present actions and consequences.
Don't make the future tense
Cautioning against making the future uncertain or problematic.
You don't feel it, can't feel it
Exploring the idea that certain emotions may be elusive or unnoticed.
If you feel it, alright
Expressing acceptance if those elusive emotions are felt.
Don't feel it if you feel
Suggesting that feeling is acceptable and brings clarity.
Then you're feeling alright
Reassuring that feeling is positive and aligns with well-being.
Start making sense
Repeating the call to make sense of the situation.
And stop making dents
Reemphasizing the need to avoid negative impacts on confidence.
In my confidence
Requesting a consideration of present actions and consequences.
That we can still make sense
Expressing optimism that sense can still be made despite challenges.
