Lyrics by Tomas Haake of Meshuggah

"Rational Gaze"

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.
