Intrinsic Lyrics

Very philosophical song. I think it's talking about how people are inside their own reality and that people should search for the meaning of life and that "real life"'s not what's "real" and that people should get back to their feeling side and understand life as they take a step back. Whispers and a scream = small stuff we do in life and final death. Flying high, falling down = highs and lows of life. People are nobodies. Reality is what we perceive it to be. These songs (like Intrinsic, Zenith, and some Epica stuff like phantom agony) are trying to say "step back from science and religion and feel what's real". The question I ask is what IS real? And that's what the song asks too in a way. We will never reach the meaning of life but must strive for it. We don't know who we are or what anything is, as much as we want to assume. And I guess some would think there's nothing in between fantasy and reality. But I think there is. It's called the divine. Somehow, humans can't comprehend what the divine is though. "elusive link to consciousness".
