Transcend Lyrics
Forget what you think you see
And what you think you know
They're just memories now
You need to let them go
If you can't forget
Who you used to be
Then your words are untrue
And the things they mean
Forget what you see
Forget what you know
Dissolve into me and let this all go
You live in a prison
That you built in your mind
A nightmare extension
With no concept of time
Forget what you think you see
And what you think you know
They're just memories now
You need to let them go
If you can't forget
Who you used to be
Then your words are untrue
And the things they mean
Forget what you know
Dissolve into me and let this all go
You live in a prison
That you built in your mind
A nightmare extension
With no concept of time

At first I just liked the way this song sounded, but upon further reflection of the lyrics it is actually really deep and I am surprised by what I get out of it...
To me, this is a song about letting go of your ego when you're meditating, or experiencing a psychedelic trip. It is very hard for most people to "let this all go" but if you manage to do that, then you may realize the connections everything has and how you are one with the universe.
"You live in a prison that you build in your mind" refers to your normal frame of consciousness and what your ego is, who is used to define yourself. This song may even be about death (or just ego death), and transcendence into the next dimension. I don't claim to know what they were thinking when they wrote this song, but those are my thoughts on it.
