Patterns Lyrics

patterns all around you
patterns everywhere
patterns of behavior
sometimes seem unfair
can you recognize the patterns that
you find?
patterns unfamiliar
patterns lead you through (to)
patterns of discovery
tracing out the clues
can you recognize the patterns that
you find?
stuck in your mind
in this land where stability is hard
to find
you can rearrange the patterns
so unkind
don't bother asking why a pattern
never cries
old patterns never die they just go on
and on

patterns multiplying
re-direct our view
endless variations
make it all seem new

I think it says alot of finding ones self, in a sense. We are stuck in this perpetual pattern of conformity. When they say "in this land where stability is hard to find" I think it has alot to do with saying "f*ck it" and doing what you want to do. Ya know? Don't fall into the same patterns as everyone else.
