There's No Way Out of Here
-David Gilmour

There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still

So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it go
There's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it right
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening, without seeing

There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

David Byrne - Civilization lyrics



Somewhere between the darkness and light
Faces all glow but it's not too bright
Civilization, it's all about knives and forks

Isn't she here? What time is it now?
Is this the right place? Do I fit with her crowd?
I'm gonna be a civilized man someday

Part of me wants to jump and shout
Part of me wants to tear it down
I thought you might prefer the cabernet

Civilization, it's all about sex
Havin' a ball in a padded banquet
I'm gonna be that really cool guy someday

The waiter looks me over
Would you like cream or sugar?
I don't know - what was I supposed to say

She wonders if I'll notice
I should have brought some roses
Her plate is full, she hasn't eaten all day

Glasses collect we order some booze
She looks at me, I stare at her shoes
Mature situations, maybe a broken heart

Maybe I ought to pay the bill
Maybe she thinks I never will
A million things that cross a woman's mind

Just be yourself, well that's what they say
I barely know who I was yesterday
I'm gonna be that civilized guy someday

Good friends and conversations
The rise and fall of nations
A moments glory and they've had their day

And on my high school folder
I drew a big gorilla
Something familiar, something far, far away

Somewhere between the darkness and light
She touches my hand, she don't seem to mind

We can go home, we can be civilized

The more knowledge, the more grief.

The problem is

The problem is

The future is not what it was

The problem is

The problem is

You kill my cat, I'll kill your dog

I'm spitting blood

I'm counting sheep

I'm dressed for dinner

I want to eat

I want the placemat

Placed out neat

I want the waiter to kiss my feet

I don't care which way the wind is blowing

I have no idea which way I'm going

I'm getting tired of the up high low

I'm getting tired of the up high low

The problem is

The problem is

Some people wise

Some other ways

The problem is

The problem is

I say I'm fine

But I'm really going blind

I don't care which way the wind is blowing

I have no idea which way I'm going

I'm getting tired of the up high low


--------------------
:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

:bunnyhug: :yinyang2:

Frank Zappa - Heavenly Bank Account

And if these words you do not heed
Your pocketbook just kinda might recede
When some man comes along and
Claims godly need
He will clean you out right through your
Tweed

Thats right, remember there is a big
Difference between kneeling down
And bending over...
Hes got twenty million dollars
In his heavenly bank account...
All from those chumps who was
Born again
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Hes got seven limousines
And a private plane...
All for the use of his
Special friends
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Hes got thousand-dollar suits
And a wembley tie...
Girls love to stroke it
While hes on the phone
Oh yeah, oh yeah

At the house of representatives
Hes a groovy guy...
When he gives thanks
He is not alone...

He is dealin
He is really dealin
Irs cant determine
Where the hook is

It is easy with the bible
To pretend that
Youre in show biz

They wont get him
They will never get him
For the naughty stuff
That he did

It is best in cases like this
To pretend that
You are stupid

Hes got presidential help
All along the way

He says the grace
While the lawyers chew
Oh yeah
They sure do

And the govenors agree to say:
Hes a lovely man!
He makes it easier for
Them to screw
All of you...
Yes, thats true!

cause he helps put the fear of god
In the common man
Snatchin up money
Everywhere he can
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Hes got twenty million dollars
In his heavenly bank account
You aint got nothin, people
You aint got nothin, people
You aint got nothin, people
Thank the man...oh yeah

David Byrne - Why lyrics



I don't have any philosophy
Why do I know what I know?
I see the world in a coffee cup
And when I drink it down there I go

We have our own kind of universe
Sometime but not always true
How come? Wait! Maybe I think it is
The view is very nice and it's big through and through

I got skills and I got secrets, I can part my hair
I feel an empty space where love could be
In adjoining universes
Touching here and there
I stick my head outside and I can see - that

Particles spin 'round a nucleus
Planets encircle the sun
Further out there is the Milky Way
The coolest part of all cracks me up, Ev'rytime

Life isn't really miraculous
It had to happen this way
We had to meet in this checkout line
Explain it as a simple twist of fate
But we can't - be - sure

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Group: Eyedea & Abilities
Album: First Born
Song: Well Being.


[Eyedea]
Take a deep breath there's nothing to be afraid of
What you just did was fall to the depths of existence
The place the mind keeps you away from by it's own process
of building models for understanding
This is not insanity, this is in fact the ultimate reality
The union you've achieved is only possible in thoughts no more
You never fall if you never fight

[background]
You never fall if you never fight

[repeat 2X]
You found yourself falling into madness so you dove
The best thing you ever did was let go

[repeat 2X]
I found myself falling into madness so I dove
The best thing I ever did was let go

[Eyedea]
See life is a play that we are always acting out
without ever seeing it from the writers or audiences point of view
When we reach infinity we become the writer
the actors and the audience at the exact same time

So here you are, and now you understand

You always were here, that's why you always ran

But you can only run away for so long

Before you catch up with yourself and become part of the song

I'd like to welcome you, to the heaven you've created

I tell the truth, this is the wisdom of the ancients

Holding onto something contradicts or being, so fly free {*repeat 4X*}

Maybe I had to go crazy to get where I am

I felt myself slipping away and I let myself fall

Gotta lose your mind before you find it

And when you finally find it you'll find out you never lost it at all

There's a natural flow, that's attached to the soul

It don't ask you to go, it just gradually pulls

It's always now and your never not you

So follow yourself because if nothing else your existence is true

[Chorus]
have you ever felt yourself slipping away? I am, I mean, I was slipping away
but no matter what I am I'm me, and I know me so I'm ok
have you ever felt yourself slipping away? you are, I mean, you were, slipping away
but no matter what you are you you, and you know you so your ok

[Eyedea]
I'm not a poet or a communist, a comet or a star

You're not a genius or a prophet, you just are

I'm not insane cause I have no need for my sanity

It's just another chain that keeps me from reality

Reality is mine to play with and mold

the best thing I ever did was let go

So let go of the models transcend the physical mind

and peacefully become part of the whole

The walls came tumbling down, but this time it was for keeps

I've been runnin around, lookin for my feet

And now their part of the ground, and make the ground complete

Live in the now and forever be at peace

Live in the now don't stray away from the cycle

I'm one with the universe, one with the life flow

When you know that that which is below is above

the fear you once had will become love (feel the love)

[Chorus]

[Eyedea]
It starts out with a question. how much of it is real?

Now all is irrelevant, outside of this ordeal

Don't worry about explainin it there ain't no human language

that can actually describe exactly how you feel

Now I see clear, through external distractions

Piece by piece it comes together, so I laugh and I smile

In the beginning it was deranged

But I guess all things come to pass, after awhile

If madness could have a picture face how would it look?

like step one to becoming the contents of your own book?

Right where you are right now is where your gonna stay

And as long as you're always moving with yourself you'll, never slip away

If you like the lyrics, I suggest you check the album out. It's Hip-Hop:afro:

Leonard Cohen
"The Future"

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder

Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder

Things are going to slide ...

When they said REPENT REPENT ...

Alan Watts had this great lecture where he talked about a guy who inhaled nitrous and comprehended the meaning of the universe,
he then struggled to remember to write it down, and when he awoke he looked at what he had wrote: "Everything is the smell of burnt almonds"

In the song "Rosetta Stoned" on Tool's 10,000 Days, is the lyric:

"Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
I must remember to write it down"

Which I think is a direct reference to Watts' philosophical story about the impossibility of translating the ecstatic experience.

Here's the whole song:

Tool - Rosetta Stoned

Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.

10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...

Holy fucking shit!

Then the X-Files being,
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of
vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fuckin' pants."

So light in his way,
Like an apparition, [that]
He had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
the Deadhead Chemistry
The blotter got [right] on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"

And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.

You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I've just said!
See the Dead ain't touring
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold [and] eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed.

Hey ...

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.

But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again ...
Typical.

Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed *
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me!
Can't remember what they said

[We] don't know, [and we] won't know (x12)

God damn, shit the bed!


another one:

In the book Prometheus Rising, Robert Anton Wilson talks about "Time Binding" and "Strange Loops" and in the song "Algorithm" by Forest For The Trees is the lyric "Sometimes riding a very strange loop, back in time I bind..." which is an obvious reference to R.A.W.

Here's the whole song:

Forest For The Trees - Algorithm

Everything that ever was
is a song that is sung to existence
I keep stepping over the boundary
and I see the essence of my being
Spiraling, panoramic emotion
Sentimental, eternal vision
Melodies of intrinsic meaning
riding so very high

Algorithm of happiness
Algorithm of perfect bliss
Algorithm of consciousness
Algorithm of Satori

Undulating pattern, caressing,
Flowing perspective shift
Pulling in a wave of thought
from ... the infinite
Sensing a chaotic touch of love
That the ebbs in this beautiful cycle
Sometimes riding a very strange loop
back in time I find/bind...

The Grateful Dead - Box of Rain

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,

to the most daring erotic desires,

any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

The Grateful Dead - Black Muddy Water

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,
And the hot sun chills me to the bone,
When I can't hear the song for the singer,
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain,
And the stars start to splatter in the sky,
When the moon hits the southwest horizon,
With the scream of an eagle on the fly,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And listen to the ripples as they moan,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.

Black muddy river, roll on forever,
I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side,
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.

When it seems like the night will last forever,
And there's nothing left to do but count the years,
When the strings of my heart begin to sever,
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And dream me a dream of my own,
I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own


--------------------

When shall I be free?
When I shall cease to be
No more I but we
in perfect harmony

as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Collective Soul
The World I Know

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in new york city
And I dont know why.

Are we listening to hyms of offering?
Have we eyes to see that love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the tears roll down.
cause its the world I know.
Its the world I know.

K-Os - Hallelujah

I walk down these city streets
Just a lonely man inspired
Hoping God will send me water down
To quench this burning fire
If I left here for the mountains
A monastery man
Things will stay the same so I'll remain
And show just who I am
Seeing things around me
Bonnie and Clyde
Graffiti with no message
Doctor's medicine deprived
But it doesn't really matter
They're blowing in the wind
On the cover of a magazine

Hallelujah
Babylon is falling
Babylon is falling

I try to wash my dirty hands
But they won't come off the water
Hoping truth will make me clean and then
Redeem my sons and daughters
Though they're not yet on the very highway
Pass along below
That's why I left my memories far behind the lazy road
Seems so simple
Future's the past
The present all the things we're holding on to make them last
But it doesn't really matter
Blowing in the wind
With their head high

Hallelujah
Babylon is falling
Babylon is falling

(There's a link to this song on YouTube on WScottsdale's signature, or at least there was very recently)

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Quote:


Solsbury Hill -- Peter Gabriel

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night

He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom, boom
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

To keeping silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
Untill I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home."
Yeah back home

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free

Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Guns N' Roses
Civil War

Quote:

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *


Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before


My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars


D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land


And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars


"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer" **


I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
