Meshuggah Rational Gaze Lyrics

Rational Gaze Lyrics


Music: Fredrik Thordendal
Lyrics: Tomas Haake

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

To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
The
context of parallel truth - Devoid of
fragmentation

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.
-Dissolution

Eyes re-opened, 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

Possessed, owned, controlled
By the common sense-infected
rational gaze
Onward forever we walk among the ignorant
Never stray from
the common lines
