about
This was the first track that I completely produced on my own, from the beat, to the mixing and mastering. I like how it turned out, and I hope you enjoy it, too.
lyrics
First Verse:
Swimming in this sea, the cosmos engulfs me.
Echoes of the past resonate like a memory.
Similar yet contrasting forms emerge.
But they soon fade, disappearing in a surge
Of a chaotic intertwining of time and space.
Swirling and meandering as I find my place
Through pleasure and pain, highs and lows,
And the rippling of space through which I now flow.
Stars shimmer and galaxies collide.
In a symphony of sights that astonish the mind.
And the magic of it all is there’s no magic at all.
Just myself and the Universe from which I’ve evolved.
From this place of wonder I can reach for the stars.
See the Universe in panorama right where we are.
And as the sky opens wide to meet my curious eyes,
I feel a sense of unity in being alive.
Second Verse:
From deep within my mind there’s a part of my being
That yearns to explore, see all there is to see.
But I’m dwarfed by the Universe and all it contains.
Cause I know it’s impossible to fit it all in my brain.
My thirst for knowledge will never be quenched.
Immersed in information, I’m perpetually drenched
In pools of wisdom illuminating my view through
These tunnels of ignorance I continue to struggle through.
My mind’s eye is open, seeking vistas unseen.
Hoping to catch a glimpse of where the truth might lead.
Regardless of the path or direction it takes,
The trials and tribulations, despite my mistakes,
I’m staying the course, seeking my reward.
Truth and understanding and the obtaining of more
Insights into the world I find myself in.
The only question now is just where to begin?
