You're So Smart
Unveiling the Illusion: Understanding Knowledge and Its Limits
Lyrics
You're so smart
You possess intelligence
Tell me, where did you go to school?
Inquires about your educational background
Maybe I'll enroll
Expresses a willingness to enroll in the same school
You've got it all figured out
Acknowledges your comprehensive understanding of life
I guess there's nothing you don't know
Suggests there is no knowledge gap for you
You don't know. You don't know
Reiterates the idea that there are things unknown to you
You don't know
Emphasizes the lack of certain knowledge
When you've reached the end, and it's lights out
Describes a moment of completion, possibly end of life
Congratulations. You're nothing now
Sarcastically congratulates on becoming insignificant after death
Stand at your podium and cite every tragedy you've learned of
Encourages standing and recounting tragic experiences
You felt no presence
Reflects on a lack of a divine presence
Pity how we should succumb to something reaching out past what we've earned
Expresses regret at succumbing to external influences beyond what is deserved
Well, we've got more lessons
Anticipates further learning experiences
When you've reached the end, and it's lights out
Repeats the theme of reaching the end and lights out
Congratulations. You're nothing now
Sarcastically congratulates again on becoming insignificant
Is this what you want
Repetition of questioning whether the current state is desired
Is this what you want
-Is this what you want
-Is this what you want
-When you've reached the end, and it's lights out
Repeats the theme of reaching the end and lights out with sarcasm
Congratulations. You're nothing now
-When you've reached the end, and it's lights out
-Congratulations. You're nothing now
-Nothing
Emphasizes nothingness, possibly reflecting on insignificance
Nothing
