escaping the tangle Lyrics

human consciousness is at the same time
as being a thorn of awareness, sensitivity and understanding
it's all seven compliments
the ordinary everyday consciousness that we have leaves out more than it takes in
and because of this it leaves out things that are terribly important
it leaves out things that would be indefinitely
and they are anxiety's interiors department
and if we could extend our awareness you see
to include those things that we leave out
we would have a deep interior peace
because we would all know one thing mustn't be
you can't hang onto yourself
you don't have to try not to hang onto yourself
it can't be done
that is salvation

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.

For anyone interested (if anyone ever makes it over this way) This song is comprised (I think) of two lectures (or seminars? what is the difference?) given by Alan Watts, a British philosopher.

The first (and largely most of the song) is titled "The Web of Life" -- transcribed mostly accurately here: http://opticalgoo.blogspot.com/2010/12/no-dont-give-me-that-i-dont-want-to.html

and can be listened to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElKv6TTqpSo

The second portion(starting at 'you can't hang onto yourself) is titled "The World as Emptiness" -- transcribed here:http://deoxy.org/w_world.htm

and can be listened to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpzNTi3iwEI
