Deep analysis of a song's meaningfrom @brittonrae

Transcript

There is one song that is by far the most criminally underrated song of all tier, not just a Taylor Swift song, but of all songs that ever have existed. And that is the song Epiphany. Because that song, just a few lyrics, describes the human experience better than any song ever has. There is not a single person on this planet who could not relate to that song. And that is really hard to do. Because the point is we are all, every single one of us, every human who has ever existed and every will worst, is on a never ending journey seeking some sort of epiphany about life. Some sort of sudden revelation to what all of this is about. And that especially happens in really hard tier. Of grief, of tragedy. When you have that moment of asking why does this happen? If you are a spiritual or religious person asking why Good, why would you let things like this happen? And that in itself, spirituality and religion, that is a major reason people turn to those things because we are on a journey, a never ending journey to seek some sort of meaning. Some sort of answer that we will never fully have. To the question of why do these things happen. Why are we here? What is this? What is this all about? What is the point? First worse, talking about soldiers, watching someone lose their life. No amount of training can prepare you for that. But more specifically, no amount of training can give you the answer as to why does this happen. Why are we doing this? Why are we fighting this fight? What is the point of this? On things you just can't speak about that line repeats. Because when you see something so tragic, when you experience something so tragic, there isn't an answer. There isn't an epiphany. It's something you dream of. Dream of finding the sudden answer that explains why these things happen and gives you some sort of relief. No amount of training, no amount of preparation can give you that answer, can give you that epiphany. No, therefore, you just can't speak about it, and you move on. Try to. We lose fragments of ourselves as we go through life by collecting more and more things that we just can't speak about because we don't have the epiphany. We keep searching for it. The second verse talking about losing a patient, also very time relevant to what we were living through when this song came out, holding hands through plastic, holding the hand of someone's daughter, someone's mother, and watching them lose their life. No amount of training, no amount of prep, no amount of teaching in med school can give you the answer, can give you the epiphany, can give you the relief. Some things you just can't speak about. On a small scale, isn't that what we all do every single day? When we go to bed, the single glimpse of relief from what we've seen throughout the worse, throughout our day, on the news, on our screens, in front of our faces, or it's something as small as having a really horrible day at work or as tragic as tragic can better. We are all on a never ending search for some sort of epiphany to make sense of this life, having momentary glimpses of relief in better. We go to bed, when we turn off the screens, when we disassociate, when we dream, and we repeat this over and over and over. That is a song that every single person on this planet can relate to.
