about
(it's hard to piece together exactly how we as individuals fit into this larger cultural scheme.
i think most of us long to be more effective in the world around us; to be able to manifest our ethics
and ideals or simply share ideas and connect in new ways with those around us. yet we're met with resistance in almost every direction. even those who love us believe our ideas are just phases, because,
like they've experienced, ideas are hard work with almost no reward. overwhelmed with this reality,
its easier to turn on our favorite media outlet, embrace entertainment and folly, and reduce life to
daydreaming about what should be.)
lyrics
infinite pipe dreams
of how life should be
broken down pondering
all the thinking, doing, and living
we should be thinking
doing and living
overwhelmed we plug into
the power strip of self
self-nullification because we know no other way
and our opinions ultimately do not matter
and our actions rarely affect the outcomes
taught that to abstain is not as vital as to create
but creating is only recycling
when all questions have been answered
all endeavors obsolete, all is arranged
when there's nothing new under the sun
and everything worthwhile has all been done
we indulge because we know no other way
tentacles outstretched
to pacify each fleeting need
a soothing embrace at the end of each day
with scattered minds we plug in and check out
we should be thinking
doing and living
yet we indulge because
we know no other way
