about

“Everything Happens for a Reason” considers the internal struggle of coming to terms with loss and misfortune and why we’re lead down rigid pathways towards certain, unfavorable ends— some of which may have no resolution. We have no choice but to convince ourselves that every hardship must have meaning. In our head we hear the reminder echo, as the chorus does, that “everything happens for a reason.” This thought, guided by indignant vocals and abrasive chorus, suggests that this pathway of coping might be the only one we’re given when all other explanations have failed. As the song comes to an end, we depart with a feeling of unease, a feeling that hardships may have no rhyme or reason at all, but the melody refrains.

lyrics

I can't remember
The last 6 hours that we spent together
It kills my soul
To always know you were alone and needed me

I take for granted
The time we spent together is cemented in
My thoughts forever and
Somehow I try to always remember that

Everything happens for a reason

Sometimes it gets so hard to
Cope with your loss it really drags me down
To a place of darkness
Lost in the lonely outskirts of this dead old town

But I keep my head up
Thinking of someone who brings me pure old joy
It only lasts but a second and
Somehow I try to always remember that

Everything happens for a reason

(The reasons often cloak themselves
In the feelings we keep to ourselves inside our slumbers
The outcome may be obvious but)

The reasons not clear to us no, no , no, no, no
