And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Holocene - Bon Iver

The world tells me I mean something. 

Do I?

Do I really want to mean something?

I have come to the conclusion that the world is lying.

I am lying. 

You are lying.

Stop.

You are nothing.

I am nothing.

Together we don't amount to something.

We are not magnificent.

We are not anything. 

I have come to the conclusion that the world is lying.
