Dive into the existential pool with The Rare Occasions as they challenge our perception of mortality and afterlife. "Notion" is a philosophical musing that questions the comforting lies we tell ourselves about death, suggesting that our end might not be as grandiose or torturous as we've been led to believe. Instead, it posits death as a natural limit of life, much like the edge of an ocean. The song also throws shade at the idea of eternal life, asking if life would even matter if it went on forever. With a dash of cynicism towards religious texts and a call to appreciate fleeting moments of joy, "Notion" nudges us to live in the present rather than waiting for an uncertain future or fearing an inevitable end.
Notion
Lyrics
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending
Rise
Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
'Cause I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
Would your life even matter anymore?
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But it's not what you signed up for
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
You don't have to wait those salty decades
To get through the gate, it's all in front of your face
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
I could, could cross the ocean, in a fit of devotion
For every shining second, this fragile body beckons
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
Sure it's a calming notion, but it's a lie
