Meshuggah Pineal Gland Optics Lyrics

Pineal Gland Optics Lyrics

How come I shiver, hurt and bleed

If in dreams I cannot truly feel?

Who would dare say, who would claim

This hallucination isn't real?



Synoptical glitch looking glass

So enticing, real and free of lies

Prodigious, omnifarious

It nourishes, it feeds my starving eyes



Artificial, the catalyst, organic, its progeny

Voracious spectral offspring, so sweet in its hunger

Unbound this new vision, optical re-genesis

Threatening, so complete in beautiful deformity



These authoritive visions order my collective senses

My questioning, doubtful, rigid self to kneel

A Judas syndrome in effect, former self, the deceiver

Its denial, the wretched kiss that kept this in disguise



Cast off the concealing veil, the rational cloak of doubt

Torn off the restraints, the vile shackles

Burned away, the agony, the fear, the grief

A new set of eyes cleansed by a new belief
