Метаморфоза и страх смерти: «если» — это паника, «когда» — печаль. Герой размышляет о разнице между «а вдруг я умру» и «когда я умру».

Intro: C#m F#m }x8
Куплет 1:
C#m F#m
Can't stop thinking about if and when I die
C#m
For now I see that "if" and "when"
F#m
are truly different cries
C#m F#m
For "if" is purely panic and "when"
F#m
is solemn sorrow
C#m F#m
And one invades today while the other
F#m
spies tomorrow
C#m F#m
We're surrounded and we're hounded
C#m F#m
There's no "above", or "under", or "around" it
C#m F#m
For "above" is blind belief and "under"
F#m
is sword to sleeve
C#m F#m
And "around" is scientific miracle,
F#m
let's pick "above" and see
C#m F#m
For if and when we go "above", the question
F#m
still remains
C#m F#m
Are we still in love and is it possible
F#m
we feel the same?
C#m
And that's when going "under" starts
F#m
to take my wonder
C#m F#m
But until that time, I'll try to sing this
Припев:
E C#m
If I keep moving, they won't know
G#m
I'll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me's too slow
E
I'll morph to someone else
C#m
I'm just a ghost
G#m
I'll morph to someone else
F#
Defense mechanism mode
Куплет 2:
C#m
He'll always try to stop me,
F#m
that Nicholas Bourbaki
C#m F#m
He's got no friends close but those
F#m
who know him most know
C#m F#m
He goes by Nico, he told me I'm a copy
C#m F#m
When I'd hear him mock me that's almost stopped me
C#m F#m
Well we're surrounded and we're hounded
C#m F#m
There's no above or a secret door.
F#m
what are we here for
C#m F#m
If not to run straight through all our tormentors?
C#m F#m
But until that time I'll try and sing this
Припев:
E C#m
If I keep moving, they won't know
G#m
I'll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me's too slow
E
I'll morph to someone else
C#m
I'm just a ghost
G#m
I'll morph to someone else
F#
Defense mechanism mode
F#
I'll morph to someone else
Бридж 1:
C#m
Lights, they blink to me,
F#m
transmitting things to me
C#m F#m
Ones and zeroes, ergo this symphony
C#m F#m
Anybody listening? Ones and zeroes
C#m F#m
Count to infinity, ones and zeroes
Бридж 2:
C#m F#m
I'm surrounded and I'm hounded
C#m F#m
There's no "above", or "under", or "around" it
C#m F#m

F#m
is sword to sleeve
