lyrics

Open your eyes,
These tainted words make us blind.
There’s more to life beyond labels and signs.
There’s no black white, the narrative told is a lie.
Our paths aligned to destroy all life.

Step up,
Can you hear me?
Listen to these words.
There’s something running deeper.
My words cannot describe,
What’s seen with the mind’s eye.
From here a silver lining,
Can be seen.
We are one conscious being,
Distracted in this duality.

We’re all on one side,
We fight so we can identify.
One from one another,
Separation is the prize.
What does it really mean,
To be so unique?
We creating dissonance between,
Pushing the limits of our link.

Coordination
A certain effort to define us by the immutable
Cooperation
To put you in your place with motherfucking race
Coordination
A single entity devoted to division among us all
Go ahead and sort us all

I stand on the shoulder of giants,
From here I see a silver lining.
We’re sharing the same life,
Hearts beating unified.
The universe is realised,
I’m on the shoulder of giants.

These tainted words make us blind.
There’s more to life beyond labels and signs.
There’s no black white, the narrative told is a lie.
Our paths aligned to destroy all life.

The universe,
A projections of the mind,
Behind the fear and doubts, the narrative and the lies.
Fear born from the ego,
Afraid to be alone.
Channelling a single consciousness,
A universal mind.
Of course we feel alone,
God is alone.

I’m cutting ties with everyone,
Finally untangling the web of comparisons.
In the end I know I only gotta learn to love myself,
When I do that, it goes beyond the self.
If I’m looking externally for self-esteem,
I’m not realising that love comes from deep within.
Humble enough to accept my mistake,
As I climb onto the shoulder of the greats.

I stand on the shoulder of giants,
From here I see a silver lining.
We’re sharing the same life,
Hearts beating unified.
The universe is realised,
I’m on the shoulder of giants.

The universe a projection of the mind,
Behind the fear the doubts, the narrative and the lies.
I feel alive.
Channelling a single consciousness, a universal mind.
Of course we feel alone,
God is alone.

Don't you yearn to be colorblind
Oppose their weak interpretation
Of the nuance in our lives
A system standing complacent
I'd rather replace/erase it
For the sake of in mind
For the fate of all mankind
