A Perspective
About Group Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll need perspective on where I have been
Perspective on what I have seen
Perspective on what we have made
I can't reflect upon moments today

I'll need reflection on the meaning of this
Reflection on ballads and myths
Reflection on what we have said

I can't conjecture yet if it's me you will fail

I'll need remembrance of what's in our hands
Remembrance of our future plans

Remembrance of a body that lives
I need to feel us now between and betwixt

I think that the theory does not necessarily need to account for the emotional factors depending on how the theory is employed. For example, a jury in an important often eliminates the emotional factors quite well at some point while in session, and the theory would then be a very good tool to predict their decision-making. Not to say the Theory shouldn't ever account for those factors, but it is still very useful as is.
