tasty morsels of ear candy

I wanted to post the lyrics to this song because I feel it is one of the best songs ever written. Many will disagree with that statement, but I find that the lyrics ring true. It causes me to reflect upon the nature of thought, mood, action, and our place in the universe. Enjoy......or don't, relativism at it's finest.

Lateralus

Black then white are all I see, in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me
Let's me see.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me
Lets me see.
There is so much more
That beckons me to look through to these infinite possiblities.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine.
Drawn ouside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyizing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
Feel the rhyhm, to feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power,
To witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral of our divinity and, still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind, we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end, and may just go where no one's been

Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going

-Tool

Elwess! GEEZ! That song is so sad and depressing. Here's a good song that I believe lines out a good portion of my philosophy.

Bad Religion

"Let It Burn"

let your mind wander,
look beyond the shadows
focus on the skyline,
read the silhouettes

your deepest desires
are a picture of tomorrow
all your darkest fears
are just a vestige of regret

and it's wo-oh oh oh
it seems like such a long way to go
as obstacles get bigger,
prevailing winds blow stronger
and the fire continues to grow

don't let shallow water limit your perception
heed the new horizon,
muster to it fast

the moments of your yesterdays
are in the wake behind you
you can't assess the future
if you're living in the past

and it's wo-oh oh oh
it seems like such a long way to go
as obstacles get bigger,
prevailing winds blow stronger
and the fire continues to grow

keep it stoked!

if you are committed
to a life of understanding
then there's no agenda
for vengeance in your life

sharpen all your senses,
face the opposition
you can overcome
with fortitude and mental might

and it's wo-oh oh oh
it seems like such a long way to go
as obstacles get bigger,
prevailing winds blow stronger
and the fire continues to grow

the fire continues to grow,
in your soul
so be bold, let it grow
don't let it die
let it burn!
