Send "Permanent Daylight" Ringtone to Cell

Loose ropes still tied knots
I can't believe that I returned
Loose threads still they sew
It's just I can't believe that we returned
Let's get out
Out
Will you come out with me?

    General Comment:These lyrics are totally wrong. here they are:

    The easiest way to sleep at night
    Is to carry on believing that I don't exist

    The easiest way to sell your soul
    is to carry on believing that we don't exist

    It must be hard, hard
    With your head on backwards

    hopefully that helps. I'm looking for insight as to who the song is talking to, and who the 'I/we' are in the song.

    General Comment:This song reminds me of Everlong by Foo Fighters. I see the Sonic Youth influence.

    General Comment:i think the songs on my iron lung cd are underrated. this song is genius i agree. i think its about not being a victim of your own thoughts. don't try and think about existence and your life etc and you'll be able to sleep

    General Comment:Amen, Amen. Genius is right. This song sends chills down my spine just thinking of it.

    The easiest way to live is to believe that you don't exist, and that nothing you do matters. Also, it's the easiest way to decieve yourself. Basically, the people who think this way are seen by others living their life like they had their heads on backwards.
