Theme Interpretation: I learned recently that my dad had dementia for about three years before he passed away this week. I thought about the breakdown of our minds when this happens and how there really isn't anything we can do to prevent the structured part of our consciousness from degrading.

lyrics

Hey dad, are you in there?
I see your face
It’s older than I remember

If you answered the phone
What would I say?
But you don't answer the phone
Because you've faded away.

We can't beat entropy
Despite philosophy
Our mind's an ordered system
That breaks down silently

You're talking 'bout the past
Like you think I'm still thirteen
But I'm a dad now too
and I see the same things that you've seen
