When I contemplate something, I see it as a separate process in my mind from regular thinking, to "thinking extra hard" about something I've done or I'm considering doing, that may have sketchy consequences attached, as an example.

In my lyrics, (if you've read them already), verse 2, I'm giving the cult advice to contemplate their actions the next time they see a "No Soliciting" sign, and then maybe, they won't have to deal with an angry person again. It's the kind of thinking that requires one to ask him/herself other related questions about what's in front of them, and come up with the answers before moving ahead. That is, IF they know what's good for them. :)
