Lyrics
Now we find ourselves in lives so lexical
Reflecting on our lives filled with words and language.
It's another line in the sand between man and animal
Describing a division between humanity and the animal kingdom, represented metaphorically by a "line in the sand."
But we talk a lot more than we listen
Critiquing the imbalance between talking and listening in communication.
We're wearing our lungs out
Expressing exhaustion from excessive talking, possibly referring to air pollution.
And for all of the words that you're sending
Addressing the abundance of words without meaningful content.
You're telling me nothing at all
Highlighting the lack of substance in the communicated messages.
Communication overload
Pointing out the overwhelming amount of communication.
Show me all that's said and done
Asking for evidence or tangible results of communication.
Looks like a million to one
Suggesting that what is said and done seems improbable or unlikely.
Non-information overload
Referring to an excess of communication without meaningful content.
But when all is said and done
Suggesting that after everything is communicated, actions may fall short.
There'll be a lot more said than done
Anticipating that more words will be spoken than actions taken.
Now the heart of man can hide behind the lungs
Describing the heart's ability to be concealed but revealed through actions and words.
But it'll show its loyalty on hand and tongue
Emphasizing loyalty demonstrated through actions and speech.
But we talk a lot more than we're living
Reiterating the talkative nature of humans compared to their actions.
We're spilling out guts out
Expressing a spillage of emotions or thoughts.
Could we walk a little more like we meant it
Encouraging more sincere and intentional actions.
Because you're showing me nothing at all
Noting the lack of meaningful communication in a relationship.
Communication overload
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of communication.
Show me all that's said and done
Requesting evidence of what has been communicated and achieved.
Looks like a million to one
Suggesting that the results or accomplishments seem rare or unlikely.
Non-information overload
Referring to an excess of communication without substance.
But when all is said and done
Anticipating that more words will be spoken than actions taken.
There'll be a lot more said than done
Expecting that the disparity between words and actions will persist.
If you've got nothing to add
Challenging the value of contributing to an endless conversation without substance.
To this endless conversation
Questioning the meaningfulness of continuous dialogue.
If this is mathematic
Possibly referring to communication as a formula or equation.
Then please subtract yourself
Suggesting that one should remove themselves if they don't contribute positively.
Could we talk ourselves to death
Raising the possibility of talking excessively to the point of harm.
In an over-connected generation
Commenting on the challenges of communication in an era of constant connection.
Cause as words keep multiplying
Expressing the idea that words are increasing but causing unintentional division.
We're inadvertently divided
Highlighting the unintended consequences of excessive communication.
Communication overload
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of communication.
Show me all that's said and done
Requesting evidence of what has been communicated and achieved.
Looks like a million to one
Suggesting that the results or accomplishments seem rare or unlikely.
Non-information overload
Referring to an excess of communication without substance.
But when all is said and done
Anticipating that more words will be spoken than actions taken.

Expecting that the disparity between words and actions will persist.
