All We Have Is Now

You and me were never meant to be
Part of the future.
All we have is now.
All we’ve ever had was now.
All we have is now.
All we’ll ever have is now.

Feeling Yourself Disintegrate

Love in our life is just too valuable,
Oh, to feel for even a second without it.
But life without death is just impossible.
Oh, to realize something is ending within us,
Feeling yourself disintegrate.

——————————————————————–

Do You Realize??

Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face?
Do You Realize – we’re floating in space?
Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry?
Do You Realize – that everyone you know someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast.
It’s hard to make the good things last.
You realize the sun doesn’t go down.
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round.

Lyrics by Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips

—————————————————-

“Whenever I analyze the scientific realities of what it means to be living here on Earth – in this galaxy – spinning around the sun – flying through space – a terror shock seizes me!!! I’m reminded once again of how precarious our whole existence is…”

“But I also have to deal with death. You can’t skirt round it. It’s a struggle and you really don’t know if you are going to come out the other side.”

“We really are trying to present a fantastic show for the audience but at the same time I’m hoping the songs sound sincere.”

“When it comes to music, the most powerful thing is to be honest. I realized that I had nothing to lose by telling the truth.”

“Music is amazing. There’s some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone… truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.”

“With out art, without communicating, we wouldn’t live beyond 30 because we’d be so sad and depressed.”
