So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
*I
chose this song specifically in reference to this quote from
Schopenhauer's, "The World as Will, "We want to know the
significance of those representations; we ask whether this world is nothing
more than representation." (p. 64) The artist speaks about pain being an
illusion, which seems synonymous to representation in
Schopenhauer's context. Additionally he speaks of being in "one
form" while he is perceiving the world as an illusion.*
