(Shopenhauer) Tool - Parabol/Parabola




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.*
