Lyricist Dustin Kensrue deeply values meaning and purpose. This song communicates that our incessant activity must be aimed by fundamental objective principles if it is to carry much value. Kensrue implies that, without such principles, all our frantic actions and feigned confidence are just attempt...
[Verse 1]
What a beautiful way to fake it
A sort of graceful defeat
We pound a pattern out on the pavement
We sound the siren out through the streets
Advance with perfect nonchalance
To the staccato of the rifle report
Don't marvel at our confidence
It's just bravado that a blindfold affords
[Chorus]
You tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby, you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug
But it's all we've got...
[Verse 2]
What a way to keep it together
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
We drown the demon in the deep black sea
Shield your eyes
Keep running to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathing
[Chorus]
You tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby, you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug
But it's all we've got... we've got nowhere to go
[Outro]
I'll take the knife or the easy chair
We are but gods for a moment
I'll take the knife or the easy chair
We are but gods
