Story Behind The Song

Humankind is facing a number of catastrophes unknown at any other time in recorded history. The fate of the planet, or life itself, has never been as threatened as it is right now. My feeling is it's clear that we're living through the end of an era. T

it actually does something- as my former girlfriend pointed out- which hasn't to my knowledge been done yet. It portrays the protagonist evolving literally over the course of the song. I start out living the typical, mundane existence most people will r

Lyrics

I guess I'll just
plug into my iPod,
disengage
I ain't tryin' to sit around
asking "Why God"
guess He's out of that listen stage
and either can't hear
or don't care
or won't share his opinion
so sorry,
I'm not impressed by your big Dominion
everything here looks
grimy and gray
since you ain't tryin' to
fly me away
gotta knuckle up and find me a way
mutha****as better not
try me today -
word is bond, I might flash!
See, my life suffocates
under tons of hot trash
I got cash, it's not enough
why else would I be
up on this train looking mad rough?
Expressions around me are grim
the f*** is his deal,
yo what's up with HIM?
And Christ I wonder
if it ever did occur
that I'm just a regular person
and I'm no threat to her?
Wait now
she's looking at me
like she sees a thing
these other people don't see
in that moment
everything shines
and the edifying glow
elevates, defines
in this life we never met
but the bond goes back
I could never forget
here's a lover, a mother
a friend
and she saved me before
now she's found me again
I wanna laugh
and I feel like cryin
attitude adjustment
without even tryin
I hear a voice
that's peaceful and quiet
saying "look around again"
so I go and I try it
I'm awakened
dissolved by the grace
what I'm looking on is
everyone's original face
and there you had it -
she raised me above
all my petty fascinations
and showed me the love..

chorus (X2)

The Time has Come
for us to free
ourselves from belief
that we live in a world
of duality
since I am you and you are me
if we get together
we become anything
that we choose to be!

Yo - my natural state's euphoric, it's crazy
as if I was on
a really low dose of 'e'
it may be because I'm knowing
the old paradigm is going
energy be flowing
a new day is coming
I know y'all feel it
you feeling it now
while I speak to reveal it
more than ever before
we have the knowledge
and power
to evolve and restore
but wait a minute
it ain't just gonna happen
we all gotta jump in the map
and stop mapping
stop pointing
with the simple location
the trick is:
throw yourself into the situation
contemplate, unplug,
stop disengagin'
feel deeply
laugh, love and start ragin'
against the machine
y'all know what I mean
revolutionize
rise from the dream!
