"LOST and FOUND"

Is this a song about retrieving our lost personal items? Going to the "Lost and Found" department to attempt to repossess that mangy diary that you left behind accidentally?

Yes and No. On the surface, this song seems like it's about that, doesn't it? Then again, it could also be about self-discovery. Or it could be about two people finding each other again.

But beneath the murky surface of its verses, Lost and Found talks about "Existentialism".

Think Satre.

Think "Existence precedes Essence."

Think "Man has no predefined purpose or meaning."

Think "Man's freedom condemns him to bear responsibility for his actions"

These Key tenets are expressed in the chorus below.

"Here We are again. Pretend that we are lost and found, my friend. Torn in half again, I don't know if I could really..If I could really breathe..."

**Yes, we are a geeky Rock Band. Forgive us**
