Alan Watts provides the main vocal backing to this song.
According to an interview (?) with STRFKR: “[Alan Watts] is very influential on the main songwriter, he’s all about […] the nature of the universe and not being afraid of death”
The vocals they use in the track all emphasise this, particula...
[Alan Watts]
"If you are aware of a state which you call 'is,'
Or reality, or life, this implies another state called 'isn't.'
Or illusion, or unreality, or nothingness, or death
There it is, you can't know one without the other
And so, as to make life poignant
It's always got to come to an end
That is exactly, don't you see, what makes it lively
Liveliness is change, is motion
And motion is going 'nnnnnnneeeeeaaw!,' like this
See, they fall out
You can see you are always at the place where you always are
Only, it keeps appearing to change."
