The Script – Science and Faith lyrics
Tried to break love to a science
In an act of pure defiance
I broke her heart.
As I pulled apart her theories
As I watched her growing weary
I pulled her apart
Having heavy conversations
About the furthest constellations of our souls. ooh
And we're just trying to find some meaning
In the things that we believe in
But we got some ways to go.
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead.

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours
.

Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.

I tried pushing evolution
As the obvious conclusion of the start.
But it was for my own amusement
Saying love was an illusion of a hopeless heart.
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that knocks me dead.

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.

Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.

Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.

Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeh this is real
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeh this is real

    The song says don't look below or above (i think 'microscope' works better than 'telescope', don't you?) for meaning about something like love or human emotion. You're much better off just falling in love.
    Incidentally, I reckon you possibly could 'explain' love if you had enough knowledge about the chemical processes that go on in brain and body. However, to model it would require an incredibly powerful computer which could handle emergent systems. And any society that had an advanced-enough computer to handle that, as well as the requisite levels of knowledge for the right inputs, would be too busy curing cancer and controlling the weather and landing on mars to worry about a crazy little thing called love.

    Not only is this a beautiful song but it is an important life lesson "You wont find faith or hope down a telescope, you wont find heart or soul in the stars, you cant break everything down to chemicals" its true! Not everything is a science you can't judge a person how sciencist tell you, you judge people on their soul and personality and unfortunly this person made the wrong choice.

    This is one of the songs that you would want to hear over and over again. When we fall in love we sometimes tend to reason out everything and break it into logic but it doesn't always work out that way. You'll know it is what you are looking for the moment you feel it, you'll just know it's real beacause. "It's the way we feel, yeah this is real."

    The song is purely about the love he had for her and how he pushed her away by smothering her by over analyzing everything she says and believes in using "chemicals" as a metaphor for his in depth analyzing. Questioning if it is really love and making him insecure and killing what they really feel for each other instead of seeing the bigger picture and meaning of their relationship and their love, all because he has been hurt before and did not believe in true love anymore - "love was illusion of a hopeless heart". "She says something that knocks me dead" is her saying that she really loves him and that he has no reason to worry -putting him at ease and making him realize what he's been doing to them and how much he really loves her and she loves him. Really love this song and its meaning. It is like that in the begging- in the getting to know stage if you really love someone- many of us make that mistake over analyzing everything in order to make sure that person really loves you back instead of enjoying every second and falling in love spontaniously. Keep it going guys! Love the band!

    This songs meaning is that love can't be defined by chemicals. The songs meaning is wrong. Just because you don't know the causes doesn't mean they are not there. Love is defined as a strong physical attachment, after you get to know someone it slowly fades and many people become annoyed by the things they loved and yes there are chemicals that coincide with every behavior. You will think the feelings will last, but they never do and chemicals in the brain dictate every behavior. Sorry, science is always right when done with data driven analysis and can explain everything and faith is ignorant poison and not even a good fantasy and wrong!

    This song isn't about religion at all so both sides of the argument are irrelevant here. This song is about love between two people. It is about the mystery that defies understanding and explanation when two people manage to find true love in a world of such varying and drastic beliefs and ideals it will probably destroy itself. The science-faith thing is a metaphor -chris leyrer on YouTube.
    I agree with this person cause its exactly wht the song means and they put it perfectly so all credit goes to this YouTube user.

    The song sums it all up. The man is trying to find an excuse for the feelings hes having and since hes a logic person he says that science is the reason for everything. She finally tells him that no matter what he says no scientist can describe the love she has for him or vice versa. Shes telling him that there are some things that can't be explained and sometimes its better that way.

    Him and this girl are in this relationship, and he always has to have an explanation for everything. "why are they in love? Why does she do this? Why does she think that? " he always wants and tries to figure out why everything is in their relationship, and she says, "dude you can't explain everything in life. You have to just go with what happens in life, and be ready to have no explanation. You can't find love in explanations, you find love in a person, love is special, and no one has the answer to it. So don't try and end up driving me away. " something like that.

    There is no deep meaning to this song, it means what it means it is his conversation which pivots on her point in the chorus, if we are nothing but chemicals then love or how we see love is nothing but an a illusion then faith is used in the line "its the way we feel, yer this is real" no evidence to say it is real, but some how it must be real because love is everything.

    Many folks hv already said it I don't think da point needs any reiteration. "science n faith", I love da title as much as da song its self!. It gets me thinking!.
    Love goes beyond da physical. It has notin to do with chemicals although some scientist will try dubiosly to challenge dat fact!. Its spiritual!. Can't be explained. Its a feeling. You gotta feel it before u'll knw it. N what da song is saying is dat you just gotta enjoy it when you get it!

    This song is about how hes trying to have the perfect relationship but then his gf goes and pretty much says hes doing it all wrong cuz not everything has to go the way it does in books and movies but it all depends on the individuals living it in the real world and hes just hurting her with his theories and has to face the hard facts that life isn't a fairy tale.
