22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You Are More Than Endless Fractals
Meek Wonders Of A Wayward Sun
You Are More Than Another Run
Cunning Circular All Precious Feats
All Those Secrets Waiting To Leak
No Wonder
In These Realms Such Things Can Occur
What If You Fail Fail To Fail
And Break Right Through ?
What Would You Fight ?
What Would You Push Against ?
What If The Struggle Did End ?
What Would Become Of Us Then ?
I'd Rather Spend My Life Banging On A Wall
Than Walk Right Through An Open Door
Coming Full Circle On Our
Hands And Feet
All These Ends Are Waiting To Meet
If You Don't Make It
You Can Always Coast
You Never Give Up The Ghost
What If You Fail Fail To Fail
And Break Right Through ?
What Would You Fight ?
What Would You Push Against ?
What If The Struggle Did End ?
What Would Become Of Us Then ?
I'd Rather Spend My Life Banging On A Wall
What If You Fail Fail To Fail
You'd Walk Right Through
Nothing To Fight
Nothing To Push Against
What If The Struggle Did End ?
What Would Become Of Us Then ?
So What's Supposed To Be The Meaning Of It All
If I Can Walk Right Through That Open Door
In the song "Adam Kadmon Body Mass Index" by 22, the lyrics explore the idea that human beings are more than just physical and chemical entities. The opening lines, "You Are More Than Chemicals / You Are More Than Endless Fractals," suggest that there is a deeper essence to our existence beyond the mere combination of elements and patterns. This essence is described as "meek wonders of a wayward sun," indicating that it is something incredibly precious and mysterious.
The lyrics continue by acknowledging the hidden complexities within individuals, stating, "All Those Secrets Waiting To Leak / No Wonder / How Duped We Thought We Were." Here, it implies that we often underestimate the depth and complexity of ourselves and others. It suggests that in the realms of existence, unexpected things can occur, challenging our preconceived notions.
The lyrics pose a series of profound questions, such as "What If You Fail Fail To Fail / And Break Right Through?" and "What Would You Fight? What Would You Push Against?" These questions encourage the listener to contemplate the purpose and significance of struggle and failure. The song suggests that the struggle itself holds value, and it is better to persist in banging on a wall than to effortlessly walk through an open door.
The song concludes by posing the question of the meaning of it all, asking, "So What's Supposed To Be The Meaning Of It All / If I Can Walk Right Through That Open Door." This line suggests that there is a search for purpose and significance, and if everything is too easily attainable, it diminishes the value of our experiences.
Overall, "Adam Kadmon Body Mass Index" invokes introspection and challenges conventional perspectives on existence and struggle. It highlights the complexities of human nature and encourages embracing the challenges and uncertainties that arise in life.
