Things aren't always what they seem.Īs we were all convinced that the Earth used to be flat, now we are convinced it is round. The lyrics indicate what I believe to reflect Dave's critical thinking style. You say who did, well you did, it’s you Reason: If all the things that you are saying love This little game where nothing is sure, oh That is generally what this song is about.Īs we all once were when the world was flat We can change who we are no matter how abject our condition seems. What is apparent at any one moment is not necessarily an everlasting truth set in stone. If we had not adapted our perception and understanding of the world over time then we as a civilization might've gone the way of the Dodo as well.
