Songs Written About Enlightenment

[Gabith]

 

Lucidity came slowly
I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
It unraveled like a braid
Into what seemed were
Thousands of separate strands of fishing line
Attached to coarse behavior it flowed
A calm it urged, what else is here?

How's it feel to be at the center of magic
To linger in tones and words?
I opened the floodgates
And found no water, no current, no river, no rush
How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
To captivate every heart?
Projecting your visions to strangers who feel it
Who listen, who linger on every word
Oh, it's a rush
Oh, it's a rush

But alone it feels like dying
All alone I feel so much

I want my offering to woo, to calm, to clear, to solve
But the only offering that comes
It calls, it screams, there's nothing here

How's…

[Nahm]

 

 

Revenge.
I'm screaming revenge again.

Wrong
I've been wrong for far too long.
Been constantly so frustrated.
I've moved mountains with less.
When I channel my hate to productive,
I don't find it hard to impress. 

Bones in traction,
hands break to hone raw energy.
Bold and disastrous;
my ears can't hear what you say to me.


Hold your mouth for the war.
Use it for what it's for.
Speak the truth about me.
Determined.

Possessed.
I feel a conquering will down inside me.

Strength
The strength of many to crush who might stop me.
My strength is in number, and my soul lies in every one.
The releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun.


There comes a time within everyone to close your eyes to what's real.
No comprehension to fail,
I vacuum the wind for my sail.
Can't be the rest,
let others waste my time.
Owning success is the bottom line.

Like a knife into flesh, afterlife is to death.
Pulling and punching the rest of duration;
no one can piss on this determination.

[Nahm]

 

If ‘you’ can just get ‘your mind’ together,
then come on across to Me.

We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise,
from the bottom of the sea.

But first…
Are ‘you’ experienced?
Ah! Have ‘you’ ever been experienced!?
Well, I have. 

I know, I know,
‘you'll’ probably scream n' cry,
that ‘your’ little world won't let ‘you’ go.

But ‘who’ in ‘your’ measly little world are ‘you’ trying to prove that -
‘you're’ made out of gold and -  can't be sold?

So uh, are ‘you’ experienced?
Ah! Have ‘you’ ever been experienced!?
Well, I have. 

Let Me prove it to ‘you’’.

Trumpets and violins, ‘I’ can hear ‘in the distance’,
‘I’ ‘think’ ‘they're’ calling ‘our’ names.

Maybe now ‘you’ can't hear ‘them’, but You Will -
If ‘you’ just take hold of My ‘hand’.

Ah! But are ‘you’ experienced!?
Have ‘you’ ever been experienced!?

Not necessarily stoned, but…Beautiful. 

 

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” - Jesus

How many Me’s are there, really.

[Nahm]

Something has to change, undeniable dilemma - boredom’s not a burden anyone should bear. 

Constant overstimulation numbs me, but I would not want you any other way. 

It’s just - not enough, I need more, nothing seems to satisfy - I don’t want it, I just need it - 

to breathe

to feel

to know I am alive. 

?

 

✂️ 

But I’ll keep digging, till I find some thing. 

✂️

A classic!

[Gabith]

Sounds spiritual to me... didn't knew Steven Wilson would write a song like this

feel the miracle every day,
count the numbers fill the cup.
every move in every way.
every move is built on blood.

go find your brightest colours,
tear all your curtains down.
don't hide beneath the covers.
don't sit around, don't face the ground.
pretty genius.

you could lose your little mind
never knowing what to find.
you could lose your little mind
staring blind into the light.

go find your brightest colours,
tear all your curtains down.
take heed of diet mothers.
don't sit around, don't face the ground
pretty genius.

pretty genius,
pretty genius.

[Nahm]

Well, I've heard that the devil's walking around.
I sold my soul way down in the dirt,
but stole it back and forever in debt.

And for a moment I don't even care,
until I feel his breath at my neck,
and maybe even you can feel it too -
He's on a strike and looking at you. 

Holding onto his words, 
I saw an angel become the devil. 
Still, they walk pretty good hand in hand,
& I don't need any of them;
heaven nor hell.

Well, I've heard that the morning star of a prince
was invoked on a Monday on earth;
I found his business card in the mud.

And for a moment I don't even care,
until I feel his breath at my neck,
And maybe even you can feel it too -
He's on a strike and looking at you.

Holding onto his words;
I saw an angel become the devil.
Still they walk pretty good hand in hand,
I don't need any of them;
heaven nor hell.

Evil came down on earth,
and it beholds more than you love;
More than you love.

Heaven don't fall on earth;
what you behold is no longer word.
No longer words.

 I don't need any of them;
Heaven nor hell.

[Ismael]

Love (Love)
Devotion (Devotion)
Feeling (Feeling)
Emotion (Emotion)

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence


The return to innocence
And if you want then start to laugh
If you must then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

It's the return to innocence

[The0Self]

You act like you don't know me
When you see me on the street
Making like I turn you off
When I know you think I'm sweet

It don't have to be like that
I guess you're insecure
If you say what's on your mind
I'm an in for sure

So I walk a little slower
And I try to catch your eye
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
No flashing neon lights
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

So,

Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So,
Why not, why not

Why not take a crazy chance?
Why not take a crazy chance?

You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
But what ya never know
Let's just get into your car
And go baby go

So,

Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So,
Why not, why not

Oh,
I could be the one for you
Oh ya,
Maybe yes, maybe no
Oh,
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is you gotta let me know, Oh

You'll never get to heaven
Or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way

Why not (why not)
Take a star from the sky
Why not (why not)
Spread your wings and fly

It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But,
Why not
Why not

Why not (take a crazy chance)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (do a crazy dance)
Do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So,
Why not, why not

 

 

 

 

Let's go back, back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle was no life
I defy

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder, I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean

I'm shedding, shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth beneath my skin
'Cause different doesn't feel so different
And going out is better than always staying in
Feel the wind

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder, I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean

I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall, let the rain fall
I'm coming

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder, I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall, let the rain fall, let the rain fall
I'm coming clean

Let's go back, back to the beginning

 

 

 

 

 

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But, there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Yeah

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Yeah, yeah

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
Whoa

"I ammmm the one and only!!!"

Lmao.

[Gabith]

Back to sin again, must be fate
The wait was all day
Black acts to amend, at the gate
Awaiting to state
Something perished, past, and gone away
And nothing ever lasts that hesitates

'Cause I know these days are calling out
The simple sets in the red skyline
These days they call the wind its gone
Season of the awake
They are calling out and shooting in a silent cave
We set the sails again alone
Season of the awake

Back from holiday in my head
The ocean calling
Magic in the grave at the end
The old way falling
Something calling, asking to create
The only other lasting love to make

'Cause I know these days are calling out
The simple sets in the red skyline
These days they call the end its gone
Season of the wake
They are calling out and shooting in a silent cave
We set the sails again alone
Season of the awake

'Cause there's something within
Yeah, there's something within
Of the awake
All my friends
When something within
Becomes something within
Of the awake
You're all my friends
I've been long, enough awake
Alone, enough, awake

'Cause there's something within
And there's something within
All my friends
Alone, enough, awake
Your all my friends
We've got a feeling of the day
Last time wasn't what we made but now we make away
Love is our only true escape
Fear is nothing washed away, awake, away, awake
Last time wasn't what we made but now we make away
