Lateralus



Lateralus
    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
    Lets me see.
    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
    Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
    Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
    Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
    Lets me see there is so much more and
    Beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
    Drawn outside the lines of reason.
    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
    Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
    Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
    Reaching out to embrace the random.
    Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

    I embrace my desire to
    I embrace my desire to
    Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
    To feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
    To bathe in the fountain,
    To swing on the spiral
    To swing on the spiral
    To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

    With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
    I feel it move across my skin.
    I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
    What ever will bewilder me.
    And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
    Spiral out. Keep going.
    Spiral out. Keep going.
    Spiral out. Keep going.
    Spiral out. Keep going.
    Spiral out. Keep going.
    ~Lyrics from www.toolband.com

A good friend said that this song reminded him of me. It does speak to me. A lot of songs do. In this case, his bringing the song back to my attention has inspired me, breaking the two month silence of my creativity. One thing after another built up to steal my energy, but now I'm feeling more myself again. Thank you George.

  1. You are very welcome, Melissa. It seems that I am able to inspire those around me though I cannot keep any of that inspiration for myself. Keep doing what makes YOU happy.
