Eventuality
Lemon Demon Lyrics

The closer that you look,
It seems the less that you will see.
You will see.
Meltdown is an eventuality.
You see.




Overall Meaning

In "Eventuality," Lemon Demon muses on the nature of perception and the ultimate outcome of events. The line "the closer that you look, it seems the less that you will see" speaks to the idea that the deeper we delve into complex issues or systems, the more confusion and uncertainty we encounter. This sentiment is echoed throughout the song as the singer acknowledges the inevitability of a "meltdown" or catastrophic event. The repetition of the phrase "you will see" suggests a kind of ominous foreshadowing, as if we are being warned that the truth is not always what it seems.

My parents are mad that I only listen to Neil's stuff pretty much. But I don't want to listen to anything else when I have this masterpiece.

Don’t you just love the fact that this song still gets commented on even thought it’s well over a decade old.
