This World Is Made Of Paper
Unveiling Life's Fragility: This World's Paper Essence
Lyrics
Should we pay the toll
Questioning the necessity of paying a toll.
For every black hole?
Contemplating the consequences of each black hole.
Should we pay a fee
Asking whether a fee is required.
Incessantly, obsessively?
Suggesting a continuous and obsessive payment.
Should we pay to talk
Questioning the cost of communication.
As we're eating chalk?
Metaphorically linking talking to consuming something undesirable (eating chalk).
But they can't make us pay,
Asserting that external forces cannot make them pay, at least not today and not in this manner.
No not today, no not this way.
Reiteration of resistance to external pressures.
This world is made of paper.
Repetition emphasizing the fragility of the world, suggesting that inaction leads to diminishing significance.
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-Should we pay them back
Considering whether revenge is warranted for every stressful situation.
For every heart attack?
Connecting paying back to experiencing a heart attack.
Or should we wait and see
Contemplating whether to take action or passively wait.
depressingly, in a minor key?
Suggesting a gloomy, melancholic perspective (minor key) in dealing with situations.
Should we pay up front?
Considering the option of paying in advance.
Should we be so blunt?
Questioning whether straightforwardness is the best approach.
I bet our check will bounce
Anticipating financial problems, imagining a bounced check.
And drop in weight, with every ounce.
Expecting a decrease in value or importance with each contribution.
This world is made of paper.
Reiteration emphasizing the fragile nature of the world and the consequences of not taking action.
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
-This world is made of paper.
-If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller.
