lyrics

I just can’t believe we fall for this every time,
And I can’t believe what I saw today,
Chasing memories of some thoughts we once occupied,
We can define ourselves anticipating the frames.

Peoples find themselves enslaved,
(Just be glad it’s not you)
Without the means to find their way,
(Finding out what’s true)
Obstructions to un-mined potentials are laid down,
By that which claims a higher stage.

Rejected and de-humanised,
Receiving our fears,
Projected to you and I,
But I say it’s all just a game.

Blinded, theological states,
Allow the pedlars at the gate,
To bring down upon, all of our times,
The repercussions of hate.
(They want you to know you’re)

Respected by unseeing eyes,
Perceiving their fears,
(they've nothing to show)
Pretending to sanctify,
But it’d say it all just insane,
And it’s all just a game,
And it’s all just insane,
And all of us just must wake up!

So this deception won’t prevail while we’ve open eyes,
And it won’t receive my attention this day,
You can chase memories of the thoughts you once occupied,
But I won’t define myself anticipating the flames.

Striving to exemplify,
Thoughts that make clear,
(To receptive minds)
This reality is justified,
Reviewed and updated by peers.

Outro

All of us must just wake up,
And all of us must just stand up.

Don’t suffer faith.

about

balveda Scotland, UK

Me, Myself and I: a classic De La Soul track, and also my approach to making music in recent years. Born of necessity rather than preference since the opportunity to write, record, play, learn, is often fleeting and all too brief; Deep Field is a collection of individually conceived tracks and those (see album notes) that have been re-imagined from past collaborations. ... more
