Theme
A reflection on global decay, deception, and the feeling of **mental and physical decline**. The narrator feels they are **'losing their senses'** as they witness the world's moral and literal deterioration, struggling to find meaning or truth amid chaos and lies.
Lyrics
One man speaking the truth
No one likes when it fits
So, we tell soothing lies, and betray
Our own lips
The uncivilized world
And its people decay
Once sweet breeze is defiled
Sucking our breath away
Yesterday's answers
Has nothing to do
With today's questions
**Life can only be understood in reverse**
**But must be lived forwards**
I'm losing my senses, I'm losing my senses
We watch as the living all die
Contemplating if we should
Ever open our eyes
If all that we touch
Keeps turning to sand
We will cease to exist
Till the last living man
Yesterday's answers
Has nothing to do
With today's questions
**Life can only be understood**
**In reverse**
**But must be lived forward**
**Life can only be understood**
**In reverse**
**But must be lived forward**
I'm losing my senses
Yesterday's answers
Has nothing to do
With today's questions
**Life can only be understood**
**In reverse**
**But must be lived forwads**
**Life can only be understood**
**In reverse**
**But must be lived forwards**
