"He's singing about how stories are beautiful lies we tell ourselves, because we cant bear the harshness of reality ALL the time. Stories like OTGW, where the characters face great danger, beat the odds, battle strange powers, and win and set it all right for the inhabitants of The Unknown -- just don't happen in the real world. But we NEED to hear such tales, because we need to keep hope that we can do even a little of the same. THE most wonderful lies are a good story told with friends."
