Mystery
Capone And The Bullets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
It's a Mystery
Lt's a wonder
How we keep from
It's A Mystery
All the nonsense
Set before us
Supposed to shock us
But it bores us
All the ennui
All the replays
All the rewrites
All the "can't says"
It's A Mystery
Electron guns fire images
They end in interstellar space
Within the year
And through it all
We dance and starve and
Burn and clear
It's A Mystery
How they con us
How they sneak til
They're upon us
All the anchors
With their helmets
Getting ratings
With their zealots
All the pundits
All the salesmen
Setting snake oil
To the nation
All the specials
Every rerun
All the penguins
Getting well-done
It's A Mystery
It's A Mystery
How the heart beats
How the sun shines
How our eyes meet
It's A Mystery
It's a wonder
How we ever
Find each other
It's A Mystery
In Capone And The Bullets' song "Mystery," the lyrics express a sense of fascination and wonder towards the mysteries of life. The opening lines, "It's a mystery/How the heart beats/How the sun shines/How our eyes meet" highlight the beauty and complexity of simple and natural things that often go unnoticed. The song continues to ponder over different aspects of life that are perplexing, like how we manage to keep going despite struggles, the bombardment of meaningless information, and the constant manipulations we face from people in power.
The lyrics suggest that despite all these challenges, we continue to dance, starve, burn, and clear, seeking answers to these mysteries while finding each other in the process. The song takes a critical stance on how the media and politicians sensationalize and manipulate things for their gain, which can leave people feeling disillusioned and bored. However, the song doesn't lose its sense of hope and wonder, which is brought forth through the repetition of the phrase "It's a mystery" and the eventual acknowledgment that even though we don't have all the answers, it's still worth wondering.
Overall, "Mystery" is a thought-provoking and introspective song that encourages listening and questioning the inexplicable things that make life fascinating.
