The theme of rebirth is everywhere, a new state of transcendent knowledge, enlightenment. Peace.
We all have questions: "Just to see what if..."
And long for Truth: "Just to see what is."
But don't assume you know it or have found it: "Open your mouth wide / (and) the Universe will sigh." To do so is prideful considering our limited scope and knowledge. What do YOU know? The personification is so subtle yet so poignant. Beautiful lyrics that leave one humbled. Just know your place and be at peace.
Pride is a recurring stumbling block that no one is above: "your fast ballooning head"/"My fast ballooning head"
Great advice/solution in the beginning. Just chill out: "Don't blow your mind with why"
"If you want truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind’s worst disease." – Sent-ts’an
A hopeful tone. Faith that we can attain enlightenment. Cleansing rebirth: "Slowly we unfurl / as lotus flowers"
Now go check out the lyrics for Separator.
"The roots of a lotus are in the mud; the stem grows up through the water, and the flower lies above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Though there are other water plants that bloom above the water, it is only the lotus which, owing to the strength of its stem, rises eight inches above the surface."
"Its unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the soul."
@dcbc Something I'm just considering now - eight inches above the surface, eight songs on the album? I also read that their flowers are eight inches around.
