What can be seen or heard
Numbered years, a thousand apart. The test is whether people are still alive. Bodies, teeth, and eyes fall out of use. Thought is medicated. At the far end the song asks what happens if the test fails, and it looks back. The upload is audio.
What the artist said
The label credit names Rick Evans as lyricist and composer. An interview in his voice was not opened. Do not invent his intention.
Living Realm comparison
A long calendar of loss can be set beside other reset chairs. The comparison does not decide that the years are a history. They are the song’s clock.
