![]() ![]() In the aftermath, he can’t bring himself to talk about it with her he worries that he was wrong and possibly pushed her, but she didn’t “mention” or say no. What if it was true, and all we thought was right was wrong?Įither way - This is pretty much just rhetorical questions, either to himself or things he wishes he could say to his partner. What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention? Also, I believe the “ebb and flow” refers to how life goes on as his guilt/doubt/regret “multiplies.” He begins to realize it is “sinful”, a type of math he did not calculate for in the beginning. ![]() The ebb and flow to multiply - This part of the chorus is pretty much saying that although it is simple and something that has been done since the beginning of time to procreate (the ebb and flow to multiply), intercourse also has a much deeper and emotional connection. Or possibly, he is just deceiving himself, telling himself that it is okay to throw his morals away in the “right now” and in the “greatest moment.” The line between deceit and right now - I take the deceit as maybe deceiving both himself and his partner, telling both of them that they were ready for the next step “right now” even though they clearly were not. I want to rip your lips off in my mouth - Simple animalistic desire, the feeling that leads him to do what he now regrets.Īnd even in my greatest moment doubt - Even though this moment is so great with all its intense feelings and passion, he still does feel doubt about the actions he is about to take.

What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it? What if we've been trying to kill the noise and silence? ![]() Simple math, believe me, all is brilliant What if I've been trying to get to where I've always been? What if you believed me? Everything is brilliant What if I was wrong, and started trying to fix it? What if we've been trying to get to where we've always been? What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then? Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here In actual blame, they call me once the dark divides To hush the violent guilt that eats and never dies I imply to mitigate the guilt, we could align Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong? What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention Sinful math, the ebb and flow to multiply Simple math, it's how our bodies even got here I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye ![]()
