about

It's a reference to Infinite Jest.

lyrics

I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through.
The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority.
I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do.

Destiny is lurking in an alleyway trenchcoated when it leans out to whisper to you.
But you couldn't even hear it in this rush you've put yourself in trying to devise your own fate.
Important things will pass you by if you don't ever take the time to realize your futility.
A bleak temptation, a moot frustration, the victim of self ideation.
The truth will set you free, but not 'til it's finished with you.

I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through.
The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority.
I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do.


While you're forging your own path you're bound to notice everyone is trying to get in your way.
With a look of such frustration, you'll determine you're the only one who is feeling this way.
Despite your ghastly intuitions, you'll find them only superstitions of your singularity.

A sick stagnation, a strict fixation, the victim of self ideation, learn no single moment is in itself unendurable.
I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through.
The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority.
I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do.
