Nice work I am actually listening to the other version as we speak :) hehe
I've fought with myself on the same issues, but it keeps coming back to: without proof, faith strives; with proof, faith is pointless. I've decided to be undecided by remaining agnostic. Tricky things these things :J
there are two separate axises to faith:
1. the identity of the thing you believe in
2. the intensity of your faith
what i am saying in this song is that it doesn't matter what you believe in, agnostic, atheist, nihilistic, Christian, whatever. the urge to believe comes from my brain's biology, my instincts, not from my understanding of what it is i believe. when creating music, i am driven to believe in the spiritual importance and meaningfulness of it. i create the sensation of a personal religion. but this personal religion is bogus, and it crumbles in the face of reality. this brings rise to this sensation of distress.
the divinity embodies in my creation leaves me stranded in the face of reality, like a dead god, or a dead lover.
So what you're asking is why do we all have the need and want to have something greater than ourselves. It's almost relative to having the need to mate. Is it because we'd like to have some'thing' favor us, that we can devote ourselves to, and when we need to we can have some'thing' to blame?
i'm not asking. this is not a question but a static definition. this is what we are, there is nothing to change our biology other than drugs, but their effect fade (and their side effects remain). this is why it is called distress. this is the mouth forever hungry, the one you can never feed.
OOO! The mouth you can never feed! Loves IT!
I think that's my problem. I always look for one set answer to a question. I think you just made me realize that most questions have indirect answers of not being answerable at all. In fact, there are most likely more specific answers to be had, it's just that the question got more complicated to figure out... Son of a bitch! At this point I'm stuck at a point where I have to choose whether or not the question is worth my effort to try to learn the answer or just settle with I don't know.
How many times did I say "answer," in one shape or form, in that last paragraph? LoL
as much as you wanted
:-)
generally speaking, i think that following the questions and not the answers is more likely to give you peace.
