I still don\ufffdt get it, why is Acquiesce spelled with capital A, I thought
maybe it was something historic like maybe a ship. I do understand that many
lyrics are chosen just because they sound good and I quite like that but
this is just so strange because the right word would be acquiescense, it
wouldn't make much sense but at least it would mean something.
