Spying Glass Lyrics

Cover art for Spying Glass lyrics by Massive Attack

The lament of an urban Rastafarian, who finds that he can't shake the sensation of loneliness he finds on his path. He manages to let the wickedness of the world pass him by, even when he knows it's around him, but he can't reconcile the type of people he's around no matter where he goes. The modern mindset of conversational interogation that passes for "normal" would be anathema for someone whose life is dedicated to finding peace within themselves.
