S & M
The meaning and the seeming *
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 was got anything to say
It’s all very poor it’s all just a bore
Someone has got to make the difference
Between the seeming and the meaning
The seeming over runs the meaning
