lyrics

As the Earth Revolves :

People hurry and scurry all around
It’s chaotic on the ground,
Grey and brown the only colors in this town,

The beaten path beckons, but I decide to diverge
My sweatshop made Nikes on the curb,
As the crises they converge…

I felt like Neo, thinking there’s got to be more than this,
Feeling so lost, but couldn’t find the orphanage
I went through a journey of metamorphosis,
Meeting multiple Morpheuses',
My worldview transformed with enormousness

I snapped out of the spell, it wasn’t treating me well.

Woke up from the snooze, and muted the six-o'clock news
Before the TV-tube turned my brain to ooze..
Amnesia of amnesia, so utterly confused

How do I find what I don’t know I’ve lost?

I know! I’ve gotta ask questions!!
I questioned every suggestion, and every section of every question
I questioned the word question- I questioned the quest-I-on

Eventually I questioned all of my premises
I found out my biggest nemesis
Was my own mental pessimists
Replaying relentless sentences
And self-sabotaging sentiments

Then I ate sacred mushrooms, Holy shit from a cow,
Catapulted into the ever evolving now,
Between nee how and ciao is now, the ineffable tao,
All I could say is wow!

Started cultivating mindfulness
To reach a state of timelessness

I stopped taking life for granted
Realized that the world IS enchanted.

What if everything is a miracle?
And I’m the one driving the steering wheel?
Co-creating my experience through the lyrical
As the universe expands and contracts like a spherical...

Cheerio, also known as a double Torus
Bursting from singularity into a self-organizing chorus
How could this realization not floor us!?
Every cell in your body was once a primordial forest!
Form playing with form, from auroras to stegosaurus
With infinite possibilities, how could they ever bore us?

And what if there is not an objective reality?
Just subjective reflections of the totality
The all pervasive pure potentiality
Impossibly indescribable through any modality

And its crucial that we communicate over Corpus Callosum
Simultaneously a drop and the whole entire ocean..

The all encompassing ocean of Brahman
Navigate new realms with help from a shaman
And the words I speak may sound uncommon
But I take Bob’s advice and keep on Jammin!

As we Flow and ebb, we’re all part of the web
As we come and go, we’re all part of the flow

Overstretching the globe, the web of life is seamless
Magical fabric, and Gaia is the seamstress

And as the Earth revolves
Consciousness evolves
Once we all get involved
All our problems will be solved

As the Earth revolves
Consciousness evolves
Once we all get involved
All our problems will be solved.
So let the boundaries....dissolve
