Eraserhads rock(ed)

A few minutes ago I was scanning through my iTunes music library and came across the Eraserheads Anthology album. "Hard to Believe" is one of my favorites. I retrieved the lyrics because they it says exactly what's in my mind. This is silly but I thought the song was just an ordinary love song but it's not! There's some philosophical pondering during the first part. I bolded it just so you know what I'm talking about:

I find it hard to believe
That all the pain that we are feeling
Has some meaning in this world
It's so hard to believe
That everything you see is different
From the things that you've been told

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch

I find it hard to believe
That someone up there is waiting
With arms open wide and smiling
It's so hard to believe
When someone told me that your suffering
Is what you get for living

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much
O please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch
Because your love is still the only thing
That matters in this world
The only thing I can believe...
-(Hard to Believe, Eraserheads)

So yeah. I wonder what happened to the minds of our early philosophers especially the "hardcore" ones like Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle, or the more famous ones. I think life's questions were designed not to be answered. You know, like the philosophy of Taoism-- letting things be as they are.
