The Seeming and the Meaning Songtext
von Stereolab

Everything becomes so defined
That in the end, there′s no definition
They do not mean a thing
They do not tell a story

We communicate more and more
In more defined ways than ever before
But no one has got anything to say
It's all very poor, it′s all just a bore

Someone has to make the difference
Between the seeming and the meaning
(We communicate more and more) the seeming
(It's all very poor, it's all just a bore) overruns the meaning
