[The1Modern1Machine]

I am in this struggle as I speak. After you fall in love and lose it, watch a family member be blown away into the cold wind of history, to see the absurdity in your own life -- Your day-to-day struggle for happiness, going to a monotonous job you can't escape, living your life simply to survive. Realizing all of this and still trying to smile, to be yourself, to not give up and become a cold cynic who has grown numb to the warmth that fills our bodies with every breath of life.

I believe he is trying to express that on the road to a higher state of being, one normally thinks cynically toward their environment. When someone can notice the beauty of their surroundings it truly shows that they've grown. Which is why one who thinks cynically toward the world, is just in the beginning. Because one will eventually gain knowledge, when one seeks it. And one normally does not retain knowledge, unless they have a reason.

"a snuff film on a jumbotron, for all the world to see"

this phrase was stuck in my head the other day at work. i hadn't listened to this song for weeks prior. it's amazing how conor's songs just STICK with you. each one is so full of meaning and metaphor, you can spend hours picking them apart.

@BTBAMlol you're one of the few people who actually get what life is about, good job.
