No Growing (exegesis) - The Olivia Tremor Control

If I should discorporate

Trying to illuminate the lines of my time

Please tell the here and now

Present the case somehow

And open up their lines

There is no growing

In knowing where you’re going

Without the light inside

What do you do when the magic’s gone?

What do you do when the magic’s gone away?

There is an ideal and I’m going to reach for it

There is an ideal and I’m going to try

Open up your heart, open up your heart

There is no growing in knowing where you’re going

Without the light inside, without the light inside

Without the light
