Rational Gaze lyrics

Song information

Artist: Meshuggah
Album: Nothing

Lyrics

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
