Today will not be happening
We've come too far away from being to be at all
we have evolved with mind. Mind has been very successful at masking our being. Hence, we have come too far with Mind to have sense of being at all.
We're putting the law back in your hands
Today we're setting our sights for a new land
Reject the mind, move towards being
Lean into me cuz there's no signs on the vehicle
You must feel this place, being. You cannot 'find' being by looking for it.
Look out and see cuz the city has no people
I am unsure, but I interpret as the 'new land' or being doesn't have people, personification and form are subordinate at this level (hinted at below too, re energy)
They don't know who you are but they know who
you will be
Perhaps referring to mind-identified beings having a tendency to look to what you will be/bring in the future, rather than existing in and witnessing you, for who you are in the narrow and true time of 'now'
Monsters of all colors and we're all distorted energy
Mind can manifest itself with many behaviours, morals, values etc (colors) - our essential nature (energy) is distorted by it
Pain looks on up at me
And when I'm beat
From the backseat I'll crash my car
Mind is the source of all pain, we do it to ourselves, we're in the backseat when our mind (or pain) is in the driver seat.
Incensed I feel like a fool when I'm feeling
When you feel pain, sometimes consider yourself foolish for feeling it
Right off this blossoming hurts like I'm peeling
I think this refers to the awakening (blossoming) being like revealing new, fresh skin beneath, the stripping away of the old, dead skin.
Oh God
I can't be found when I'm dreaming
Words hard
I'm into the sound of their meaning
if one was into the meaning of the words, one would need to be of mind to consider them. Being can witness sensory inputs, but it is not concerned with their reasons
I am divorced from the image I've created
To be divorced from ones image is to mean you do not identify with form (any more, because it is created). It is a key stage of witnessing your essential nature (being/'new world'), identification with your form (your mind, your body, your personality, something in the physical world) by it's very definition prevents you from transcending the physical to witness the unmanifested.
So many nights and days that are separate from the ages
So much time (nights and days) is spent looking towards the past and present (ages) which are separate from the present, now and ultimately being/essential nature, through identifying with our mind images of the past and future.
Thank you for the lessons that I learned while John was sleeping
John, refers to his form (mind, body, personality, 'him') that he no longer identifies with, such that he is able to transcend the physical realm
Whoever it seemed the Creator did the teaching
Being (essential nature, 'new land', god) is the creator and teacher of love, peace and joy which was given thanks for in the previous line :)
