about

Life is meaningless on the long scale. We all die and eventually the earth with be engulfed by the dying sun and everything that ever existed will be vaporized and broken into its atomic components.

Because of this, no one can say they're better off than anyone else. We're all headed for the same end, eventually. The fact that we get to have beautiful moments in our lives and follow our loves and excitements is what gives depth and meaning. If everything means nothing then it also means everything.

I tracked this song, and has a mix. It was good but a bit dull. I patched a Big Muff pedal on one side of the main mix, and another distortion on the other side. EVERYTHING DISTORTED!

lyrics

We have our little lives
full of truth and detail
and momentous times
that fill our insides.
And all the little things
so important to us
are just superfluous
in the grand scheme of things.

And the whole world
has their daily events
and their rituals
that mean so much.
But just as such
all that's integral
and all of their intents
means nothing in the world.

And everything
to everyone
which is held
tight and dreamed
means absolutely nothing
so it all means everything.
