lyrics

The Vienna Circle was a group of philosophers who met weekly in Vienna in the 1930s. They famously questioned the very meaning of our attempts to articulate knowledge, asking how can we find out if a statement is true or false. Does a statement really mean anything if there is no way of knowing if it's true? Many of the group were Jews and socialists who fled the Third Reich. Founding member Moritz Schlick remained in Vienna and was murdered by a former student suffering mental illness. Under Nazi rule his murderer was released following an appeal which described the Jewish teacher's ideas as 'alien and detrimental to the nation'.
lyrics
Close. We are very close to certain destruction. Lies bewitch and terrorize this bleeding continent. With ink and electric light, I write signs and symbols. I know I must leave Vienna to run from this evil. Holding Europe's words up high to the light of reason, I can't identify truth or meaning.
