Lyric discussion by wiseinvestor777 

I related to this song so much. I connected to dressing up meaning put on a show while counting through time because time is flowing and all we can do is make up numbers to and count and seems more solid than religion. You know religion is a made up stories, but as you started thinking about your existence you go within and when you fine no meaning it is like picking random needles from inside the darkness with others vague explanations. The insanity of choosing a side of something that can't be explained is like being on a blind mans bike and nothing to get off the ancient boat as the insanity keeps rolling on. At the end is someone talking to him about joining one of these insane ideals and absorbing their convictions because your ripe with a golden heart, but they don't know he already can see through all the BS and is lost in a sea of depression.

holy shit. great explanation. and how do we know we're not doing the same exact thing with this song, you know, just grasping at straws and we have no real idea of what mercer meant..

Love this...and it's so true...sometimes I wish so badly that I could have "odd convictions," to believe in something without question, to have faith. I hate being filled with this fucking doubt and emptiness.
