Songfacts®:

  • Cevin Soling of The Love Kills Theory: "This is about the appreciation of the limits of knowledge in comprehending existence and the terrifying anxiety that ensues. Satre describes this in Nausea, although I think E. J. Gold describes it better in Tanks For The Memories. Jiddu Krishnamurti might have been touching upon it in The Freedom From the Known. From there it leads to an invective against people who avoid contemplation and refuse to grow intellectually or emotionally and rally against things that challenge them. At one point the album was going to be called, 'If You Don't Understand...' with the implication that there are some people who will never 'Get It' simply because they have mentally shut down."
