The song "Lines" by Jack Stauber is a mysterious and cryptic composition that leaves much open to interpretation. It may be about the fleeting nature of life, the fragility of the human mind, or the search for direction and purpose in an ever-changing world. The lyrics suggest that there is a sense of urgency to life: "Makes a man look forwards to his end / Don't let it out without your head / Make sure no one knows / That this don't be the end, gonna get too far / And see the start." The narrator seems to be urging the listener to make the most of their life, to push themselves to the limit and not give up. The line "Get the widow, break, sing, yearn" is a bit more difficult to interpret, but it may be suggesting a need for release, expression, and catharsis in order to truly live. The refrain "Even though the breaks, no law set the twigs / It'll go, little girls when no one sees the lines of higher / And still to come along" is even more enigmatic. It could represent the idea that even though obstacles may arise in life, there is always a way forward and a path to follow. The line "And the men in the mist don't sit around too far / Too far to decide / Who's right, who's right" may suggest confusion and uncertainty, as people struggle to make sense of their place in the world and their own thoughts and feelings. Overall, "Lines" is a song that invites contemplation and interpretation, with its mysterious and evocative lyrics and haunting melody.
