Age Of Silence
The Transversal Conjecture
Andy Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fascinating yet nauseating
I feel I'm getting closer to being insane
After all, I'm only human, not humane
Madness is such a comfort zone
Just a trip inside one's own head
It doesn't have to be real
And since I'm still alive
Into my insanity I dive
Desperately searching
I know it's in there somewhere
I can feel it, taste it
It makes no sense to waste it
A sense of security in the familiar
The cave of self importance is my home
Why are you still here
I want to be alone now
Escape, escape, escape
Hope to die before I wake
The lyrics of Andy Winter's song The Transversal Conjecture depict the journey of an individual towards madness. The first verse starts with the singer listening to the sound of echoes, which he finds both fascinating and nauseating. He confesses to feeling closer to insanity as he is only human and not humane. In the second verse, the singer explains how madness is a comfort zone where one takes a trip inside their own head. It doesn't have to be real, as long as one is not dead. The singer then dives into his insanity as he is still alive. He desperately searches for something inside him that he can feel and taste but cannot waste. He finds security in the familiar, which is the cave of his self-importance that has become his home. In the final line, the singer expresses his desire to be alone, to escape, escape, escape, and hopes to die before he wakes up.

I listen to the sound of the echoes
I am paying attention to the echoes that I hear
Fascinating yet nauseating
The echoes are both interesting and sickening
I feel I'm getting closer to being insane
I am moving towards craziness
After all, I'm only human, not humane
I'm human, not compassionate
Madness is such a comfort zone
Being insane is a familiar and comfortable place
Just a trip inside one's own head
It's just exploring one's own thoughts
It doesn't have to be real
It doesn't need to be true
As long as I'm not dead
As long as I'm still alive
And since I'm still alive
Because I'm still living
Into my insanity I dive
I immerse myself in my own madness
Desperately searching
I'm looking very hard
I know it's in there somewhere
I'm certain it's somewhere inside me
I can feel it, taste it
I sense and experience it
It makes no sense to waste it
It's pointless to let it go to waste
A sense of security in the familiar
I feel safe in what I know
The cave of self importance is my home
I reside in a place of self-importance
Why are you still here
Why haven't you left yet
I want to be alone now
I need to be by myself
Escape, escape, escape
I desire to escape
Hope to die before I wake
I hope I die in my sleep
