about

This track focuses on dreams and hallucinations I was having on how to make time travel a reality, while also personifying my journey deeper inside the fever dream and my own weird mind. It also looks into a naïve anger I was feeling during the fever about how time is a manmade construct/limitation we put on ourselves. Basically it's a musical rant about how much I wish time travel could be a reality.

lyrics

Oh no, I’m not ready to get my feet wet just yet it seems,
I’m too busy taking time out to interpret these dreams,
But don’t listen too close, this is a conversation piece at most,
So talk amongst yourselves while I ramble on and on,

Watch and stand closely behind,
There is such a thing as getting lost in another’s mind,
Grab onto my arm as I lead you inside,
Where the darker it gets the harder it is to hide,

Why did nobody notice did nobody try,
To divide from the same old emotion the same trying line?
And how did everyone sink so far down in the sand?
Now no one is left at the top to reach out for our hands,

Something tells me by the look in your eye that you’re not listening, why?
When I’ve done everything I can, bend backwards and stand on my hands for hours and hours,
Drinking wine and taking cold showers,
Do you see the moon? No it can’t be seen tonight,
Too many clouds, too little light,
Yet still the stars sit so small and clear,
Like the sky is a sea filled with garbage and I’m the gondolier,

Time, E, P, and R might have finally got it right,
When they say that it doesn’t really matter what day, it doesn’t really matter what night,
This fourth dimension can’t just be a line as in our minds,
That’s the only hope that I have for us all, all mankind,

Why did nobody notice that man had made time?
It’s a leash that we wear, a circle or square, depending on your design,
And how did everyone stick themselves down on this path?
We keep building up more, score after score, never free from circuitous math,
