Sometimes the world is just noise
And it's easier to tune out when we want
And back in again when we know a song's about to play
But the joke's on us
Because the beauty of the music
Is directly proportional to the confusion of the sound
The phrase 'take a chance' is too vague
Instead, treat your life as though the universe were literally communicating with you at every moment
As though it were engineered for you to find purpose and love
As though everything were a sign
There will be times when something catches your attention
That's inconvenient
Maybe even scary
Follow it
Convenience takes you around in circles
Don't confuse it with fate.

Sometimes the world is just noise
And it's easier to tune out when we want
And back in again when we know a song's about to play
But the joke's on us
Because the beauty of the music
Is directly proportional to the confusion of the sound
The phrase 'take a chance' is too vague
Instead, treat your life as though the universe were literally communicating with you at every moment
As though it were engineered for you to find purpose and love
As though everything were a sign
There will be times when something catches your attention
That's inconvenient
Maybe even scary
Follow it
Convenience takes you around in circles
Don't confuse it with fate.
