In this evocative track by The Arcs, the lyrics delve into themes of cyclical behavior and the elusive nature of fulfillment. The protagonist's journey to Eden—a metaphor for an unattainable ideal—results in repeated failures and moral decay, symbolized by his battles and subsequent retreats. The refrain "The more he comes, the more he goes" underscores the futility and transient nature of his pursuits. Despite acquiring knowledge ("the more he knows"), there is a stark lack of personal growth or real change ("the less he learns"). This dichotomy illustrates a poignant critique of human endeavors where material gain often masks an underlying spiritual and emotional bankruptcy. By weaving these elements together, the song paints a bleak yet insightful picture of human aspirations clashing with inherent flaws.
