Cover art for Carved In Stone lyrics by Scar Symmetry

I think this song is exploring the idea that what we think we see is just a perception. We can't prove for certain that anything is how we see it is because everything we see is just a perception formed from our own thoughts and feelings which are passed on through "DNA and Society." In this song I think the writer is saying how human thoughts negatively affect our perception of the world - "losing its true form to human misery." The line about a swarming pattern of frequencies reminds of somewhat of the matrix...what if our world was just a matrix...how do we know it isnt? Maybe everything you see is just an illusion...reality is just a point of view after all!

Just to quote something from Ghost in the Shell:

"...And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you when neither modern science nor philosophy can even explain what life is?"

Thought-provoking stuff! It's nice to hear music that makes you think!
