Transcendence Lyrics

There is no turning back from all the confines of regret
reminders of that day will haunt you, nights you never slept
and every time you separate the body from the mind
and look into yourself and see what you've left behind

It's something you salvage through and pick the bones
It's something you'll never stop searching for

It's a self made misery
It's a blatant blasphemy
but all we need is a little transcendence to mend us
but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses

the farther out you make it
beyond the absolute
onto another level can't take anything with you

so calm for a split second before
you reconnect with the storm

It's something you salvage though and pick the bones
It's something you'll never stop searching for

It's a self made misery
It's a blatant blasphemy
but all we need is a little transcendence to mend us
but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses

It's a self made misery
but you write your own history

I wanna peel back this layer
reveal my new skin to the open air
I feel a cleansing wash over me
and I'm finally able to breathe
all we need is a little transcendence to mend us
but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses

all we need is a little transcendence to mend us
but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses

"but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses"

However, right after, he tells us how we can fix this problem:

"but all we need is a little transcendence to mend us"

Finally, at (to me) the best part of the song, he is finally 'mended.'

"I wanna peel back this layer reveal my new skin to the open air I feel a cleansing wash over me and I'm finally able to breathe"

Song Meaning

I wouldn't call this as straight forward as you claim. The Eternal Return is a CD that is heavily influenced by the writings of Nietzsche and here this song is about overcoming religious confinement of the self.

"Self-made misery" describes the punishment or concept of sin that people inflict upon themselves even though it's not real. The blasphemy is that in doing so people are trying to circumvent the harsh realities of life rather than embrace them.

The whole first verse is in regards to separating the body from the soul even though the soul is inherently a...
