Meshuggah - Rational Gaze lyrics

Squint your eyes to see clearly.

Blur reality to make it real

Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed

We've all been blinded - Subjects to visual misinformation

A systematic denial of the crystalline

To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words

The context of parallel truth - Devoid of fragmentation

Our light-induced image of truth - Filtered blank of its substance

As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines

Everything examined, Separated, one thing at a time

The harder we stare the more complete the disintegration. -Dissolution

Eyes re-opened, Reasoning focalized, Receptors activated

Perspectives distorted

The ladder beyond our grasp

The twin-headed serpent forever hidden

Where's the true knowledge -

Where engines of the sane & insanity merge

The clarity. The unity

Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible

to our fixed, restricted fields of vision

Existence taken for granted. -Absolute

Possessed, owned, controlled

By the common sense-infected rational gaze

Onward forever we walk among the ignorant

Never stray from the common lines
