Cynic – Infinite Shapes Lyrics 7 years ago
I feel like this song is about trying to comprehend Earth, the universe, humans, and the visible and invisible connection between them all. Key parts are "the indivisible goose egg, irreplaceable loose peg" in the first verse, and the coming variations in the chorus "paper tigers at play." "Alpha Beta erased, architecture opaque".

The next verse refers to the curiosity we have for our universe, and struggling to grow to a point where we can understand it:

"A kamikaze seed
Breaks ground
Sprouts up inside of me
Spreading down
It poked into my eye
Cracked the egg
Now there's a tentacle
Growing limb-like eggs."


and the final part, which brings to mind the Starchild sequence from 2001 (as quite a few Cynic songs do) -

"Sit down
Behold the open crown
Through the eternal halls
An earth midst the balls
One spark
Shooting across the dark
Fear, craft and avarice
Become a dust filled wish"
