Less Is More
A Day in Black and White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time it's not for show it's different
One more failed atempt, indifference
Every block is another way to see it straight
Last word everytime and don't be late
Strange record of stunted growth
Wordplay and meaningless

I've got to find the pieces
I've got to describe them all




To find any final connection
To play, to play along
