[Chorus]
EThe universe works on a F#mmath equation

EInfinity spirals F#mout creation on the Atip of its tongueE  
(And it is saying)
E"We ain't sure F#mwhere you stand
You Aain't machines, and Eyou ain't land"
And the Eplants and the animals, F#mthey are linked
The Aplants and the animals Eeat each other

EAnd oh, my God, they look F#mso alone
Now, do they Areally feel anythinEg?
EOh, my F#mGod, AI gotta, gotta, gotta, Egotta move on
EWhere do you move when what you're F#mmoving fromA  
Is yourselEf?

EThe universe works on a F#mmath equation
That Anever, ever, ever really eEnds
EInfinity spirals F#mout creation on the Atip of its tongueE  
(And it is saying)
E"We ain't sure F#mwhere you stand
You Aain't machines, and Eyou ain't land"
And the Eplants and the animals, F#mthey are linked

The story behind the song

"Neverending Math Equation" is a fascinating choice for Sun Kil Moon, appearing on their 2005 album Tiny Cities, which was entirely composed of Modest Mouse cover songs. While the song's original meaning comes from Modest Mouse, in Sun Kil Moon's hands, it takes on a reflective, almost existential tone. The lyrics touch on a sense of unchanging self, even from childhood, and a questioning of emotional depth in others, wondering "do they really feel anything?" The idea of "infinity spirals out creation" suggests a vast, perhaps overwhelming, sense of existence and its mysteries. It plays like a meditation on identity and the profound questions that linger about life's ultimate destination.
