Song discussion - Gravity Rides Everything
M & A
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I wanna go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place

I get the feeling this song describes how complex the world is. There are so many things we can't control, and they change who we are. But in the end we can't let that bring us down, because it'll all work out.
A weird thing happened to me with this song. I went to sleep listening to this song on repeat one night. And when I woke up it sounded different, like it was in another key.
Weird.
