My Better Self Songtext
von Tennis

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate, I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

Each and every attempt
A bit of substance spent
Despite the effort I have lent
You seem to lose what I′ve meant

If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purpose and function that cannot be met


Those who create it know
There is an ebb and flow
Only the value given shows
That meaning comes and goes

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate, I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

If I don′t use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purpose and function that cannot be met

If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purpose and function that cannot be met


My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate, I do not know
But meaning comes and goes
