PLEASE CLICK ME AND MAKE ME A FEW CENTS, I'M SAVING UP FOR A CHUPA CHUPS

Saturday, December 28

Past my bedtime
8:30am. It's past my bedtime. Went for a relaxing 4:45am walk through the streets of 3088. The streets I have known for half my life. The big concrete car wash. A sentimental mood. Loose prosiac flow inspired by some happy music i'm listening to... "Lucidity" by Kinobe. It goes like this:

i heard a great story once,
to get across the point that the earth really is alive.

if you were to interview a butterfly,
standing on the branch of a sequoia tree.

now, a butterfly lives for only a few days,
and a sequoia tree
can live for over a thousand years.

if you were to ask the butterfly:
do you perceive the object on which you are standing
as being alive?
the butterfly would say:
of course not, i've been here all my life
- which is all of five days -
and the tree hasn't done a thing.

well its the same problem with a human being.
if you were to ask a person,
perhaps someone that's lived for over a hundred years,
if they perceive the earth
- which is really 5 billion years old -
as being alive,
they'd say of course not.
i've been here my whole life,
& it hasn't done a thing.

the earth really is alive.
the earth really is alive.
butterfly.
butterfly.
butterfly.

butterfly,

standing on the branch
of a sequoia tree
the earth really is alive.


No, I'm not high. Just sleepy and mellow. Chillout music perfects my mood. 8:30am. Time for bed.

Hi Peter,

I was desperately seeking for the lyrics of this particular song, to the point where I was playing/pausing/typing in google's search field and fortunately I was forwarded to your blogspot. I really can't tell if you're going to read this since your post must be somehow "old", but anyway I'd like to THANK YOU for taking the time to type/post Lucidity's lyrics.

In fact, I subscribe every comment you made to this beautiful and sensitive song. Soundphiles is a great CD, and the new one (Wide Open) sounds cool too, but I honestly prefer their debut.

Cheers from Europe!
