E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's really more than I can say
Lookin' at this tower
Angels are off duty and asleep
In these wee hours

And there's no place I can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes

There's really nothing you can stop
So I guess I'm gonna try
Climbing up this tower
Walking up the stones
Stocking feet, to the clock

This is one place that I know
And the face in front of me
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes

Not some lucky charm
But something to hold onto
That could hold onto me

And there's no place I can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and it goes




It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes

Overall Meaning

In this song, E seems to be describing a feeling of restlessness and uncertainty that he is experiencing in the middle of the night. He describes looking at a tower, and the angels who are usually supposed to be on duty seem to be asleep. He makes it clear that he feels a bit lost and doesn't know where to turn. He describes the noise inside his head, which seems to be constant and unrelenting.


Despite his uncertainty, E seems to be determined to keep going. He talks about climbing up the tower, walking up the stones with stocking feet. He seems to be focused on moving forward, even if he doesn't know exactly where he is going. He mentions a face in front of him, but it's unclear who or what this refers to.


Ultimately, E seems to be searching for something to hold onto. He acknowledges that he doesn't have any lucky charms or easy solutions, but he wants something to keep him grounded. Despite the noise in his head and the uncertainty he feels, E seems committed to persevering and continuing on his journey.


Line by Line Meaning

It's really more than I can say
There are no words to fully express how I feel


Lookin' at this tower
Reflecting on a tall structure, perhaps representing a challenge or obstacle


Angels are off duty and asleep
There is no divine assistance or guidance available


In these wee hours
Late at night or early in the morning


And there's no place I can go
Feeling trapped or limited in options


And this noise inside my head
Mental chatter or internal turmoil


It comes and it goes
The noise or thoughts are unpredictable and fluctuate


There's really nothing you can stop
Accepting that some things are beyond control


So I guess I'm gonna try
Despite the challenge, attempting to move forward


Climbing up this tower
Taking on the challenge or obstacle


Walking up the stones
Slowly and steadily making progress


Stocking feet, to the clock
Moving silently and intentionally through the challenge


This is one place that I know
Perhaps the challenge is familiar or recurring


And the face in front of me
Facing the challenge head-on


Not some lucky charm
Overcoming the challenge will not be due to chance


But something to hold onto
Looking for stability or support


That could hold onto me
Seeking something reliable or trustworthy


And this noise inside my head
Repeating the internal struggle mentioned earlier


It comes and it goes
The cycle of internal turmoil continues

The reason that (e.g. "microscopic" and "quantum" ) size scales are only physically defined as purely relative to each other, i.e. in terms of their role in emergent diversity of "structure" native to (as only possible at) these various self-relative (such as our "macroscopic") size scales is the fact that the most elementary geometry of the SUM's* self-relative motion is that of the horn toroidal fluid vortex (HTV), which is more or less spherical and circular, i.e. as a hypersphere. If we wish to construct (approximations of) other geometric structures, such as a cube or other straight-edge polyhedron, we can do so by arranging multiple (more than one) of these simple particulate HTVs into a lattice** whose outer surfaces become closer and closer approximations to perfectly straight lines and flat planes the greater the number of HTV's of a given standard baseline "size" that we incorporate into the lattice.

This 'purely self-relative' function of size scale in structure is perfectly described by the Fourier Series. And this carries right down to the 'quantum mechanical' scales where the self-relative motion (accelerating/acceleration-) flow trajectories of an otherwise scale uniform medium begin to take on (i.e. non-uniform) 'structure' as such. It is at this 'wave/particle-transition' scale also that we first 'see' elementary "particulate" HTVs (a.k.a. "mass particles") "in motion" -- i.e. with-as-through the flow-geodesics of the surrounding 'empty space' SUM -- "with respect to each other"

*'scale-uniform medium' -- a.k.a. "spacetime"

** NOTE - thereby "also" affecting the "network" structural principle as being "distributed - in - space - over - time"* * *

* * * (thereby "also" phenomenologically manifesting "extension in space [over time]")* * * *

* * * * NOTE: I also refer to this emergent [physical/phenomenological, if you will] "proliferation of structural diversity" in terms of, and by means of, the ("otherwise") SUM's self-relative motion as ""the bifurcational proliferation of complementarities".


Please also check out (read carefully, tolerantly -- it's a work in progress -- and thoughtfully) my "Anthropos Cartographer" meta-philosophy (a.k.a. 'Experiential Meta-Mechanics'; a.k.a. 'The Quantum Philosophy'; a.k.a. 'Networkology' ) in the comments at "What is a Worldview" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVAmY1HvExI) Unlike man's previous 'philosophies', this one explicitly recognizes, defines, and declares itself to be a human intelligence self-engineering technology.

Excellent video!! I look forward to watching more of such wonders of physics....😊😊 Science is not at all scary or difficult... unfortunately we indulge ourselves learning science for our school exams...we need to broaden our view of thinking n analysing things...we are all surrounded by matter ..we are a part of this universe 😊... science is really interesting...n is interconnected with every concept in our day to day lives...😊

I just finished reading David Bodani's book "E=mc2" and I have to say that your video does a better job explaining the equation in a few minutes.

Keep it up, love it. this was an amazing explanation. Ive been thinking of how a black hole would look like in 3d? we normally show the 2d version with a bending grid. I wonder how would that grid look in an sphere.

misterduke

a great time to be alive. such great video content that easily explains hard topics in a fun way. love them all!

nani

i love these videos! please keep making them :)

Mike Gomez

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE! Maybe you could do a video on the different sustainability of the different energies we use. I.e. Nat gas vs coal vs solar vs nuclear? And how they power our homes

Tinyverse

I like this idea! I've spent a lot of time calculating the average electricity usage of my 1st world lifestyle. Don't ask why. But these things come up in books like Abundance and Bold by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler. They're a bit older at this point, but some very cool ideas about how we can transcend scarcity and live a life of abundance.

S Y

The reason they out out low video cause they are small company and the animation is HD so it takes a long while

Bamboozler

@S Yit wouldn’t take 3 years for 1 video

misterduke

I’d love to see a video about the history of economics so like the start of exchanging goods all the way to our digital aera and why/how we got there. also, a possible idea would be, especially nowadays, about the ways we could „secure“ ai in the future to make sure it doesn’t go rogue. again, love the content!
