Lyrics

The Coda serves
as a resolution
for the entire project
And, looking back
I kinda interpret it as a decptive cadence
And, in music a deceptive cadence is
a chord progression where
the dominant chord
doesn't resolve to the tonic chord
It resolves to a sixth chord
or something else that makes the musical sentence
sound like a cliffhanger
So here's an example of the A and B
of those two
So first
I'll play a chord progression
where, you know...
the dominant chord resolves to the tonic
And then I'll play what is a deceptive cadence
So you hear how that sounds complete right
You feel like there's a period
at the end of that sentence
But, here's what what a deceptive cadence sounds like
You feel like there's something left to be said there
So, the message in the Coda is much like life
in that we don't always get the happily ever after
We don't always get all of our questions
about a situation answered
The way things end are as they are
and we have to come to terms with
the fact that a situaiton just is what it is
And, again, we return to the idea
that love is analagous to math
only this time we have to decide
whether or not we'll let its complexities intimidate us
or close us off from keeping an open heart
And keeping an open heart doesn't mean being naive
but it means not allowing our experiences to jade us so much
that we give up on the idea of love all together
Here's the Coda
