The title of this song is likely a play on the title of Infinite Jest, a 1996 novel by American writer David Foster Wallace. Similarly, track 8 on this album is also likely taken the title of a David Foster Wallace novel.
[Verse 1]
I found a letter that read
"Our existence has serious side effects."
Turned on, turned on the television
And it's telling me the world is collapsing
[Chorus 1]
I think it's coming, oh and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad?
[Verse 2]
And my therapist said
"We've evolved through a series of accidents."
There's been talk of chemical imbalances
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and/or violence
[Chorus 2]
I think it's coming, oh and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant
I think I think I think a little too often
That's what my therapist said
We're alone in this wilderness
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses
I think it's coming, oh and it comes so fast
[Outro]
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad (x2)
