Found and listened to at my house "The universe is shaped exactly like the earth, If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were." The verse is talking about how everything that happens anywhere is connected. There is also no real start or end to things, it's "like the earth," round. The earth is being used as a symbol for a sphere, which is being used as a symbol for Inniti and something not having and end/beginning. I like this verse because it is true, everything is connected, whether you know it or not and whether you like it or not. Also the idea of having no end or beginning is interesting because if there is no beginning, then how did anything ever come Into existence?

Heard of this song from a friend and listened to at my house "Human beings in a mob Whats a mob to a king? Whats a king to a god? Whats a god to a non-believer? Who dont believe in anything?" This lyric is questioning power and says the general cycle of how power works. As it works its way around, a "god" somehow comes to the mercy of a human, or "non-believer" as stated in the lyric. The theme of the verse is to say that god is not all powerful. Pretty straightforward verse with no symbolism. This verse has a very serious tone. The singer is an obvious atheist. I like this lyric because it is from the point of view of someone who doesn't believe in "god" and "prayer," and sometimes, those types of people are the most grounded and interesting types of people. This verse reects this situation exactly; A preachy Catholic will go on and on about how powerful The Lord is and yet what power does he hold against someone who doesn't believe in him?
