about

In this introspective indie rock song centered around the repeated lines "You got your eyes on the prize… looking forward's made you blind" and "Threatened by eternity, you forget to live here presently," the writer delves into the emotional tension that arises from differing worldviews. The lyricist suggests that a preoccupation with the afterlife prevents us from fully experiencing the present moment. This idea is encapsulated in the haunting refrain, "BUT YOU THINK LIFE'S A TEST… // WITH JUST ONE QUESTION AT THE END," highlighting the philosophical chasm between the two.

lyrics

You got your eyes on the prize… looking forward’s made you blind
Threatened by eternity, you forget to live here presently…
BUT YOU THINK LIFE’S A TEST… // WITH JUST ONE QUESTION AT THE END…
You got your eyes on the prize… looking forward’s made you blind
Threatened by eternity, you forget to live here presently…
BUT YOU THINK LIFE’S A TEST… // WITH JUST ONE QUESTION AT THE END…
