What Bright Eyes – I Believe in Symmetry is about
A feel-good song about the simplicity and beauty of it all.
Why to love Bright Eyes – I Believe in Symmetry
Because it’s a very cheerful song with a happy tune and pleasant lyrics.
Why you might not like Bright Eyes – I Believe in Symmetry
Listening to this song too much tires your ears because of he nature of the music. It is also quite long, over 5 minutes, which might be too long for some people. The vocals aren’t outstanding either, but I thought I’d recommend it because it’s a recent song (2005) and because it has a cheery atmosphere.

Bright Eyes – I Believe in Symmetry Lyrics
Some plans were made and rice was thrown
A house was built, a baby born
How time can move both fast and slow
Amazes me
And so I raise my glass to symmetry
To the second hand and its accuracy
To the actual size of everything
The desert is the sand
You can’t hold it in your hand
It won’t bow to your demands
There’s no difference you can make
There’s no difference you can make
And if it seems like an accident
A collage of senselessness
You aren’t looking hard enough
I wasn’t looking hard enough
An argument for consciousness
The instinct of the blind insect
Who makes love to the flower bed
And dies in the first freeze
Oh I want to learn such simple things
No politics, no history
Till what I want and what I need
Can finally be the same
I just got myself to blame
Leave everything up to fate
When there’s choices I could make
When there’s choices I could make
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph
Always so eager to pack my bags
When I really wanna stay
When I really wanna stay
When I wanna stay (x4)
The arc of time, the stench of sex
The innocence you can’t protect
Each quarter note, each marble step
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef
Each wanting the next one
Each wanting the next one to arrive
Each wanting the next one
Each wanting the next one to arrive
An argument for consciousness
The instinct of the blind insect
Who never thinks not to accept its fate
That’s faith, there’s happiness in death
You give to the next one
You give to the next on down the line
You give to the next one
You get to the next on down the line
The levity of longing that
Distills each dream inside my head
By morning watered down again
On silver stars I wish and wish and wish
Move on to the next one
Move on to the next one down the line
Move on to the next one
Move on to the next one down the line
You get to the next one
You get to the next on down the line
You get to the next one
You get to the next on down the line
