      What's weird is that I'm not sure if it is a relatable song about memories and how everything drifts into the future or just a load of words threw in a bucket and rattled around until it forms something that seems like it should make sense.
      The human brain (and actually, computers too) can't pick out truly random words, it has to take it from somewhere, so I think what Bill's doing is just writing thoughts but not fixing them so it makes sense to hear.

    this song has made me cry, and i mean that in the best way possible. ive had to be a caretaker to almost all my grandparents, who all had gotten dementia before they died. and while they were not to the point of forgetting their place in time fully, this song, makes me think of someone with dementia singing about their experiences. how time flows for them, and how they see the world and people they interact with.
    i know bill's songs are vague, probably on purpose, but i cant get over how much this fits people who cant keep track of reality anymore. a soft song despite losing the ground under your feet is something so powerful, and comforting.

      whenever he releases a new song i listen to it on loop until i start to realize the existential metacommentary baked into the lyrics
      "i walked on earth in special sandals. then i took them off and now i can fly around...i watched those sandals fly away and i didnt notice when they hit the ground "; an homage to the cynic/buddist philosophy that true freedom is achieved once soul is detached from all earthly pleasures.
      "some people ask why the sun is not very bright. my arms are too tired for this conversation."; blatantly faulty arguments are not worth fighting
      "my calendar is telling me that its the future"; measurement of past and future are just human concepts and shouldnt fixated on. never wait till the future to be happy because it will always be the present and never the future. so let the future be now
      "there are characters in the second scene and they never talk but you know exactly what they mean"; there are so many people who you will see but never truly know or meet
      "somewhere in the 7th scene when noone understands the point of view you find so familiar"; there are so many people outside your immediate social bubble that will subvert your worldview
      "oh! my memories are coming back in ways i wasnt ready for. but im still enjoying how it feels. so im holding onto the details. capture the details. in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases and then replay it"; literally him having an existential epiphany and writing it into his lyrics so he can revisit the headspace later
      "and know exactly what the story will be...and pretend to know exactly how the story will end"; finding contentment with never knowing the answer to what will happen after death

      Nonsense. They are not usually simple at all, and any comedy is only an element of some parts of the songs because it's part of the human experience. Hell as far as the "simplicity" goes I bet you wouldn't even be able to figure out the chords to any of his songs, even ones without modulation. After you've tried that, try sitting down and writing a melody with fitting lyrics that's half as good as any of his songs. It's insulting to call his stuff anything other than musical genius and genuine expression. This one is heartwarming, why the heck would you say it feels heartwarming and then say it isn't? How it feels is what it is, that's what art is. Maybe most people don't recognize his music as what it is because any time there's anything in a song other than "I'm in love" or "I'm heartbroken" it just seems quirky and strange

      Honestly, all I don't exactly understand is 1:28 the rest can be seen as a memory (being the beginning of the song) slowly deteriorating as time passes, first it's clear, then in the first chorus, the 'future' represents your future self recalling the memory, second verse I have no clue how it fits into everything, in the second chorus, the '7th scene' is you retelling the story, hence why the point of view is unclear to them, as this could've happened years ago and many details could've been forgotten, regardless, you write down what you can remember and read through it to reexperience the memory, however this time, instead of you flying around, the sandals fly around. And as even more time passes, the memory fades more and more to the point where you convince yourself you remember the story clearly, when in reality all you know for sure is that you 'traveled the ___, jumped over the ___, into the ___, back to the___'

In other words, if he traveled thinking closely about all his actions, he probably wouldn't have nearly as much fun as just being there. This also means that what he does during that time is harder to remember cause he was just living in the moment.

    I walk over the earth in special sandals
    I took those sandals off
    Now I can fly around
    Some people wonder why the Sun is not very bright
    My arms are much too tired for this conversation
    I travel the distance in between where I was
    And where I would like to be a little later
    The sky is falling
    The sky is larger
    Than any sky could be
    Ooh, ah, oh, wee
    My calendar is telling me it's the future
    Somewhere there's a second scene
    With characters that never speak
    But you still know exactly what they mean
    And you still know exactly what the story will be
    I travel the world without my blanket
    So when I'm feeling tired
    I can just fly around
    Most people wonder if the moon is part of the sky
    Or if it's just a decoration added later
    Ooh, ah, oh, wee
    My galaxy is spinning toward the future
    Somewhere in the seventh scene
    Where no one understands the point of view
    That you now find so familiar
    Oh
    My memories are coming back in ways I wasn't ready for
    But I'm still enjoying the way it feels
    So I'm holding onto the details
    Capture this moment in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases
    And then replay it
    I walk over the earth in special sandals
    I kick those sandals off and watch them fly around
    I didn't notice if they ever landed
    But if they d, o I'll understand the reason
    Ooh, ah, oh, wee
    The melody is drifting into the future
    And I feel pretty good about what time it is
    About what day it ever was and how it came to this
    Ooh, the memory is drifting back in ways
    That I'll pretend to know and understand
    And I pretend to know exactly how the story will end
    I travel the-

    Into the-

They both have very unique styles that are instantly recognizable but System is far superior because their songs are also distinct within their style.

      Yeah, the melody always resolves, but I like how the lyrics don't resolve at the end.

    the way bill blended his signature 2D animation with what he's learned about 3D animation is just... genius tbh

    Bill's music is so different from mainstream or really any genre it's calming in a strange way. It looks like random mumbo jumbo but feels deep

    This is the kind of music that I love but glad that it’s only one person doing. It adds charm to it that only he can achieve.

    I love all of Bill's songs but the lyrics of this one hit me particularly hard. He has such a talent for describing a daydream in a way that makes you emotional
