About the song

I can get so caught up in making sense of something that I stop noticing what it's taking from me. One answer should be enough. Somehow there's always another question. I'm still trying to work out whether knowing more would make any of it easier.

Theory of Everything lyrics

Right when I thought I had it figured out
The answers grow in complexity
They fracture into questions
I was never meant to ask

I get closer
And the truth keeps moving away

It escaped me again
The meaning of it all
If I solve the equation
Will it make my life feel small?
I am trading my peace of mind
For a truth I’ll never find
I’m dying for a glimpse
Of the theory of everything

Make it make sense
Please, make it all make sense

These many mysteries compound
They keep true reality just out of bounds
I’ve caught sight of the other side
A place where language fails

I get closer to the answer
And farther from everyone

It escaped me again
The meaning of it all
If I solve the equation
Will it save me at all?
I am trading my peace of mind
For a truth that won’t be kind
I’m dying for a glimpse
Of the theory of everything

Maybe meaning isn’t hidden
Maybe it’s something we invent
A story we agree to believe
To survive a life that wasn’t meant to be

I’m starting to fear
It’s all chaos, all the way up and all the way down

I’m dying for a glimpse
Of the theory of everything

I’m dying for a glimpse
Of the theory of everything

Make it make sense
Please, make it all make sense
