SINGER: Meshuggah

SONG:Rational Gaze

Squint your eyes to see clearly. blur reality to make it real
let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed
we've all been blinded - subjects to visual misinformation
a systematic denial of the crystalline
Our light-induced image of truth - filtered blank of its substance
as our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines
everything examined. separated, one thing at a time
the harder we stare the more complete the disintegration
To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
the context of parallel truth - devoid of fragmentation
eyes re-opened, susceptible
reasoning focalized. receptors activated
Perspectives distorted
the ladder beyond our grasp
the twin-headed serpent forever hidden
where's the true knowledge
where engines of the sane & insanity merge
the clarity, the unity
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible
to our fixed, restricted fields of vision
existence taken for granted, absolute
uncomprehended by our content minds
Possessed, owned, run, controlled
by the common sense-infected rational gaze
onward forever we walk among the ignorant
never stray from the common lines
