Lyrics
My better self still knows
My better self is aware
That meaning comes and goes
Aware that significance is transient
What is it made?
Questioning the composition of meaning
I do not know
Expressing uncertainty about its nature
But meaning comes and it goes
Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of meaning
Each and every portent
Referring to every indication or omen
Of bitter substance spent
Occurrences of bitterness expended
Despite the effort I have planned
Despite planned efforts
You seem to lose what I've meant
Not understanding the intended message
If I don't use words
If communication doesn't involve words
Then each sound goes unheard
Suggesting the ineffectiveness of non-verbal communication
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Emphasizing the need for words, nouns, and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
Implying symbols require purpose
A purposely function
Indicating a deliberate function
That cannot be met
Highlighting an unattainable purpose
Those who created know
Those who created meaning understand
Air is in man and blow
Air is within humans and is expended
Only the value given shows
Emphasizing the value of expression
That meaning comes and goes
Reiterating the transient nature of meaning
My better self still knows
Reaffirming the awareness of one's better self
That meaning comes and goes
Reiterating the transient nature of meaning
What is it made?
Repeating the question about the composition of meaning
I do not know
Expressing continued uncertainty about its nature
But meaning comes and it goes
Reiterating the ephemeral nature of meaning
If I don't use words
If communication doesn't involve words
Then each sound goes unheard
Suggesting the ineffectiveness of non-verbal communication
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Emphasizing the need for words, nouns, and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
Indicating symbols require purpose
A purposely function
Highlighting a deliberate function
That cannot be met
Emphasizing an unattainable purpose
If I don't use words
If communication doesn't involve words
Then each sound goes unheard
Suggesting the ineffectiveness of non-verbal communication
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Emphasizing the need for words, nouns, and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
Indicating symbols require purpose
A purposely function
Highlighting a deliberate function
That cannot be met
Emphasizing an unattainable purpose
My better self still knows
Reaffirming the awareness of one's better self
That meaning comes and goes
Reiterating the transient nature of meaning
What is it made?
Repeating the question about the composition of meaning
I do not know
Expressing continued uncertainty about its nature
But meaning comes and goes
Reiterating the ephemeral nature of meaning
