Song meaning
Greg Graffin (about the line "I know I'm part of something greater than myself"): "[It's] a good line to show that the journey has led us somewhere all these years. And as a teenager you never want to admit that. That's a very difficult thing. The entire world revolves around you, there's no world greater than yourself. So now, in our mature atheism, we can say, 'Look, we're part of something greater but we don't know what it is'. And just to close our eyes to it and have blind faith in something greater is not going to lead you to a prosperous life. It's the searching, it's the methodology that you use to discover that something greater. That's what's important."
