“Gone” - Switchfoot

She told him she’d rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what’s going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cellphone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she’s living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upsidedown
Don’t say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don’t spend today away
Cuz today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is
Gone, just trying to prove me wrong
And pretend like you’re immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow
Brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
Where’s your treasure, where’s your hope
If you get the world and lose your soul
She pretends like she pretends like she’s immortal
Don’t say so long
You’re not that far gone
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today will soon be

Gone, like yeterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on,
Your going going gone,
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like your immortal your immortal

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We’re so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra
Like Elvis and his mom
Like AL Pacino’s cash nothing lasts in this life
My highschool dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn’t last for long

Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash,
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills
And roto-tom fills
Life’s more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings
End up in wills we got information in the information age
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to the God who’s not short of cash
Hey Bono i’m glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is still worth living

The ree of Sephiroth is made by the Mp evas, holding up the Crucified the Unit One. The Lance of Longinus forms with Unit one to make the Tree of Life.

The Black moon, the egg of Lilith, represents the womb that humanity came from, derived from a mother goddess type.

Lilith of Course is from the Goddess, the mythical original wife of Adam.

Adam, the Angel which is absorbed by Gendo, then taken by Rei, then mixed with the body of Lilith, shows unification, the cause of Instrumentality.

The death of Lilith/Rei represented Shinji’s rejection of instrumentality.

The explosion of people and release of a red orb shows the people reverting to primordial soup, the blood of Lilith where they derive from, the souls going to the egg, where all souls are unified.

Unit one turned to rock floating in space with the lance next to it, and the speech about the Evangelion being the ultimate proof of the existence of humanity, after everything else is gone represents the goal of eternity people want more then anything.

The destruction of the egg, bleeding over Lilith as she dies is a further sign of the rejection of instrumentality.

Gendo being eaten by the phantom Unit one I am not sure of. He rejected Shinji, not thinking he was worthy of Affection, and closed offf his herart to humanity, according to Kaworu’s speech. It is possible it is Rei’s punishment for him.

The Rei’s assumi9ng forms to get through people’s AT field’s is obvious, we only reveal ourselves to those we love. Those who had no one to love had their AT field’s forced through.

Alright, but I recommend you not see it until you watch the series, “Neon Genesis Evangelion”. Otherwise it will make no sense.

First time I heard the song.

Switchfoot = ThirdEyeBlind. Blech. I did like the lyrics as posted without the music though.
