The clocks are ticking backwards, Or maybe we're just standing still. Yesterday had answers; Today has another set of rules. We learned to fear the doorway, Then wondered why we stayed inside. We watched the world through little screens And lost track of which way was outside. [Chorus] We're trying to make sense of it, Trying to connect the dots. Every explanation contradicts The explanation that we got. We're searching for a pattern In a universe gone strange, And every time we understand it, Something else has changed. [Verse 2] The headlines chase each other, The experts disagree. One day something's dangerous, The next it's guaranteed. A rumor becomes a certainty, A certainty becomes a lie. And somewhere in the argument The facts go walking by. [Chorus] We're trying to make sense of it, Trying to separate the noise. Trying to tell the difference Between the signal and the voice. We're searching for a pattern In a universe gone strange, And every time we understand it, Something else has changed. [Bridge] Maybe we're not crazy. Maybe we're exhausted. Maybe twenty-four-hour information Was never meant for human minds. Maybe the world was always complicated, And we simply couldn't see it. Now every contradiction Arrives before we've had time to breathe. [Verse 3] We learned to live with distance, We learned to fear a crowd. We learned that certainty Could disappear overnight. Then suddenly the doors opened, But nothing felt quite right. The world had kept on turning— We just weren't sure how to live inside it. [Final Chorus] We're trying to make sense of it, Trying not to lose our way. Trying to build a picture From a thousand things we hear each day. Perhaps the strangest madness Is demanding perfect sense From a world that's always changing And never made that promise. [Outro] So if you feel confused, Look around—you may not be alone. The world became enormous When the walls became our home. We're still trying to understand What happened while we stayed inside— Perhaps we're not losing our minds. Perhaps we're finally noticing How strange the world has always been. [Outro]
