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
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'll never stop searching for
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
beyond the absolute
onto another level can't take anything with you
you reconnect with the storm
It's something you'll never stop searching for
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
but you write your own history
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
but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses

Again, another straight-forward song from their newest album.
It talks about how most of us walk around without any sort of spiritual or transcendental attitudes.
"It's a self made misery It's a blatant blasphemy"
"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"
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 part of the body if it exists and diving the world into "perceived appearances" and "eternal 'truths.'"
One only becomes mended when they realize that life is only the senses and rather than trying to dull them with religion and the quest for eternal truths, we need to take life for what it is and learn to breathe as we move forward, transcended from this ascetic persona.
