Intro : (x4) I used to think About what's real and true What can not be proven What can be assumed Once when I was younger In the bloom of youth I received an honest answer When a lie would do And now all I do is sit In my darkened room And on occasions break my silence To howl at the moon To curse every nerve A neuron in my brain That won't stop the pain I'm feeling And let me stop thinking I used to think Galileo would agree That the world was round And you'd come round to me But I have looked for you And you're nowhere in sight The world must be flat The Babylonians were right And now all I do is sit In my darkened room And on occasions break my silence To howl at the moon, To curse every nerve, A neuron in my brain That won't stop the pain I'm feeling And let me stop thinking I used to think Consider gravity If I placed you on a pedestal You'd slip and fall for me But you floated on the air Far away at light speed I guess some objects do defy The laws that we conceive And now all I do is sit In my darkened room And on occasions break my silence To howl at the moon, To curse every nerve, A neuron in my brain That won't stop the pain I'm feeling And let me stop thinking Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            I used to think It took all my time Analyzing you Your mind on my mind Your name, my mantra Repeated on my lips That once tried to kiss you A memory unrepressed And now all I do is sit In my darkened room And on occasions break my silence To howl at the moon, To curse every nerve, A neuron in my brain That won't stop the pain I'm feeling And let me stop thinking Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you            Stop thinking of you

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson exprime une profonde mélancolie liée à des souvenirs d'un amour perdu. Le narrateur se remémore des réflexions passées sur la vérité et l'illusion, réalisant qu'il a cherché une personne qui semble absente, comme si le monde avait changé et devenait inaccessible. Il évoque la solitude dans laquelle il se trouve, passant son temps à ruminer ses pensées dans une pièce sombre, où il hurle à la lune, cherchant désespérément à apaiser la douleur de son cœur. Les métaphores scientifiques sur la gravité et la forme du monde soulignent encore plus ce sentiment de perte et d'impuissance face à l'amour qui semble irréel.
