Life Is All Dynamics Lyrics

Winter hides the dead
Just like summer ends too soon
Springing forth the new knowing
Autumn is the tomb

And I'll wait for you
'Cause it's waiting for you
Living hides the dead just like
Suns and earth and moon
Springing forth the new knowing
Flowers need to bloom

And I'll wait for you
'Cause it's waiting for you
Unsure? Well, here's help with the wait
The heavens move and the earth will quake
And now god has failed and a metaphor
There's only awe forever more

Life is all dynamics
Life is all... dynamics
There's life in all dynamics

Life is all dynamic

Unsure? Well, here's help with the weight
There's only "god" for "heaven's" sake
There's only one key to unlock the door
You must get the metaphor
(God help our mother... love one another!)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I know that Devin has stated that neither religion nor politics are relevant in his music, but I feel like this song is about the metaphor of 'god' and 'heaven' being so much more simple than people make it. Every thing is in variable acts of motion, aptly named Dynamics, and that once you realize it there is no reason to view yourself above others and natural processes that are occurring all around us. We are all one in the universe, swirling through the cosmos on the same journey. So cut the bullshit, get over yourself, and enjoy it. :)

This song is about the "Eight Dynamics Of Life" of Scientology, possibly as a critique as he is clearly not a Scientologist.

His use of the word "God" is indicative of the influences he has had from Hinduism (and Buddhism),

Overall it is cynical but playful with Dev's own views on spirituality, which he made peace with (on albums like Ghost and particularly Epicloud)

You're incorrect.

Well, neither is wrong, anyway. "Life Is All Dynamics" is the title of the track on InsideOut's release, while "Dynamics" was on Devy's original release.
