"That" is a reflection on the mysteries of life and a reminder to love each other while we're here. Its form is humorously inspired by dry legal documents encountered while working at a funeral home.
"Light" is about knowing that you're not alone in your battles so don't take any shit from anyone. The phrase "there's so many of us out here" was inspired by observing redwood trees and all their shadows during an acid trip.
lyrics
Hell is what happens when we forget
THAT
We don't know why we're here
THAT
We don't know when it's gonna end
THAT
We don't know when it begins
So please remember
THAT
We're here to teach each other how to love
THAT
We're only here for the day
THAT
You know
Hell is what happens when we forget
THAT
There's so many of us out here
In darkness
Breathing light
Light
It's everyone who's ever been and will ever be
You don't have to breathe what they tell you to breathe
