lyrics

the real issue in all of this is whether death is really the opposite of life; whether the choices that we make amount to anything of substance, or if all of our thoughts, words + behaviour are destined to vanish like a breath in winter. to put it another way, is there anything that could be considered subaltern to mortality? certainly: never having existed. the suggestion here is that regardless of who, what, where, when, why + how people lived + died, they experienced existence; and given the real opposite of living, this matters somehow. "what it all means is not for us to know. it is for history to decide. all we can do is play the parts as written. all we can know is ourselves."
