Understanding lyrics

Gleaming steel reflects a coldness Pasted smile faking flair Ill never smile again? the song goes Plate is empty nothing there Why try when theres no understanding Why try when there is nothing left Why try when theres no understanding Understand theres so much to be felt Decisions past future decided The one that counted forgot how to add Multiplying means division Slide the rules Ill be glad Chorus Ill get this last one in and then stop writing about it Ill get this last one in and then stop thinking about it Ill get this last one in and then stop Chorus Understanding Understanding Understanding Understanding
