Horseness Is the Whatness Lyrics

Basics
Understanding basics
You'll never let your guard down
And always leave a card out
But always
The word is not so friendly
It brings some fucking baggage
It's a word that's used for lying
And never
Never I would trust
It sticks around for some
While always stays for none
Will someone
Find out what the word is
That makes the world go round?
'Cause I thought it was 'love'
But some say
That it has to be 'choice'
I read it in some book
Or an old packet of smokes
And basics
I guess I get the gist
There's not that much to miss
You choose or you exist
[Intro: Basics]
Grian Chatten begins by questioning the foundation of understanding. He points out how people often keep their guard up and leave things unsaid, hinting at a cautious approach to life and relationships.
[Verse 1: Always]
The word 'always' is portrayed as unfriendly and burdened with falsehoods. Chatten suggests that 'always' is used dishonestly, and he expresses his distrust in the word. He emphasizes that while some words like 'always' may seem lasting, they ultimately prove to be unreliable.
[Chorus: Will Someone]
In this section, Chatten reflects on the search for the word that defines the world. He initially believes it to be 'love,' but then entertains the idea that it might be 'choice.' This shift reveals his uncertainty and the complexity of finding meaning in life.
[Verse 2: Basics]
Returning to the concept of basics, Chatten conveys a sense of resignation. He acknowledges that understanding the basics is essential but notes that there's little to miss. The final line encapsulates the struggle between merely existing and making conscious choices.
