sing my name to seraphim // And see that i feel isolated. (feat. Paola Barbra)

Watch me fly into the dark (Into the dark) Just let me drown (Sing my name) Sing my name to your god Let him watch me fall As I go away and take my flight Upon the moon Another lonely night befalls again Catch me now if you're a friend Send a note to those who care Say "I feel isolated here" So sing my name to seraphim And hold on tight with a careful grip Another night all on my own On the pink moon with a graceful tone The sound of you reverbs in my head I hope I can get out of it again The constellations tell me I am done From burning inside of the sun I sit on my moon, where did I go wrong? Self-isolation only lasts so long Before the walls start caving in And becomes the grave that I shall lie down in Another lonely night befalls again Catch me now if you're a friend Send a note to those who care Say "I feel isolated here" So sing my name to seraphim And hold on tight with a careful grip Another night all on my own On the pink moon with a graceful tone My own existence makes me feel so alone Until the voices play me all of their tones My badge is fading, my authority's gone Do with it what you want, my identity's yours Sinking lower as the days pass Ignoring the calls from those I talked last It's nothing serious, I'm just falling apart At the thought of it all, let this note be my call Another lonely night befalls again (Befalls again) Catch me now if you're a friend (Don't let me fall) Send a note to those who care (Tell me you care) Say "I feel isolated here" So sing my name to seraphim And hold on tight with a careful grip (Hold on tight to me) Another night all on my own On the pink moon with a graceful tone And welcome back to the 67.3 Indigo And if you feelin' blue, you already We're about to wrap this thing up tonight y'all, and uh It's been a very special treat And I wanna give a very special thanks to the young king hailing from Alabama And he goes by the name of Nomrah And he blessed us with that world premiere of "the pink moon" and uh I must say man, track after track was just Him just giving us his truth and uh And if you can live life just, you know, just being truthful You won't have no damn regrets, y'all So uh I think that's... he gave us little nuggets of wisdom right there On every, damn near every track So y'all go support him, man, ya know I must say, if you want some of that local home-grown We got the Zephyr, the Purple-Apple Tree AND that Spotlight & The Rose And uh, y'all be safe out here in these streets Wherever y'all, you know, go to and from And uh I'm 'bout to get ready to sign off One more other thing If you in the left lane and goin' the speed limit Get out the way And it's been a pleasure, and I'm your boy DJ Azul This is one of the symptoms of our phony sense of identity Of our phony feeling that we are something lonely Locked up in a bag of skin confronted with a world... An external, alien, foreign world that is not "me" Now according to certain of these great ancient philosophies, like Buddhism... This sensation of being a separate lonely individual is a hallucination It's a hallucination brought about by various causes... The way we are brought up being the chief of them of course I remember, as a child, and you probably have very similar memories to mind That all our parents were desperately interested in identifying us And don't you remember that sometimes you went out and played with other children And there was someone in the group of other children you admired and looked up to And you came home imitating the mannerisms of that other child? And your mother said to you "Johnny, Johnny that's not you, that's Peter" And you felt a little bit ashamed Because somehow, you had let her down She wanted you to be "you", her child And not Mrs. Jones' child, Peter And so, in many ways, we're all taught this For example, the main thing that we're all taught in childhood Is that you must do that which will only be appreciated if you do it voluntarily "A dutiful child must love its mother" "But now I don't want you to do it because I say so But because you really want to" Or "you must be free" See, this comes into politics "Everybody most vote" You see? Imagine you are members of a democracy And you "must" be members of a democracy See? You're ordered to It's crazy So, when you are told who you are And that you "must" be free Furthermore, that you must survive and must go on living And that becomes a kind of compulsion You get mixed up It's very simple, of course you get mixed up If you think you "must" do something Which will only be the thing required of you if you do it freely These are the sort of influences then... That cause human beings all over the world to feel isolated To feel isolated Human beings all over the world Feel isolated Human beings Feel isolated You get mixed up Human beings get mixed up You feel isolated I feel isolated In the words of the poet Haussmann "I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made" Human beings feel isolated I Feel isolated I Feel isolated I feel isolated "If I could only figure out how to do all this without my body" Alan Watts His last words If we too can separate our lives Our consciousness Our being Our "selves" From our body And live not defined by the body that we are "in" Or rather, the body that we "are" Then we can, in turn, learn to live governed not by the external stimuli our body receives But rather by the internal validation that comes from knowing one's own self worth One's power One's capabilities And one's values We are not "in" our bodies The idea of "me" and "my body" are actually one in the same Therefore it is not the body that defines us Or us that define the body But rather one that accentuates the other By working in tandem To create the image of "me" that appears in our consciousness when we think of who we "are" And on the days that we retreat into our minds Afraid of the world around us Feeling that the external must go away As we run inward and embrace the internal Our brain Our pink moon Where we sit upon on our pink moon and watch through the window of our eyes Just like the little man in front of the control panel As we recall the times where behaving like someone else caused us to be scolded Because we weren't being ourselves When we truly don't even know who "I" refers to We can then begin to see That the pink moon Or rather The separation of mind and body Soul and husk Little man and control panel Is nothing more than a defense mechanism that we use to escape the external world When it becomes simply too much to handle And once we realize this We can begin to learn Grow, and develop And learn that the mind and body are not separate But rather two sides of the same coin And should be treated as such So... if you would... Watch me fly away to the moon And I will never come back 'Cuz I'm... I'm happier there anyways So please, respectfully, leave me alone But if you miss me Sing my name to seraphim, and see that I feel isolated Welcome, and thank you for boarding the all-new United States Space Shuttle Indigo We thank you for the bravery and sacrifice it took to join us on our mission today We will be departing shortly And should arrive at our destination, The Pink Moon In approximately 51 minutes Please remain seated for the duration of this shuttle's travels And thank you again for boarding the United States Space Shuttle Indigo
