Do You Realize??

I was listening to The Flaming Lips' 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' album today and the song "Do You Realize" came on. I have listened to this song many times before and I have always enjoyed it, but today the lyrics really struck me. What Wayne Coyne sings about is remarkably profound and I see it as somewhat sad. But when listening to the song today, it made me smile. Here is the lyrics:


Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Didn't knew this song. It's beautiful. And also very true, you'll never know when someone you love won't be around anymore. I was thinking of how I should appreciate my family and friends.
