In a stupid universe, which is mechanical, but has no feelings, no finer feelings

More traditional, you look upon yourself as a child of God, and therefore under authority

In other words, there's a big boss on top of all this, who allowed you, at his pleasure

To deign to have the disgusting effrontery to exist

And you better watch your P's and Q's, because that Almighty is looking after you

See, the end is coming closer

Choose to hold my ground and brood

Out for the moment

Coming back when I can't help but blow a fuse

Nothing stays inside this life, an ever-changing, flowing fume

Endless stream is winding on

From which these features are produced

Alternate from making light of all the weight

To hating life and needing space

I can't seem to get it straight

No attainment, no mistakes

Nothing to blame, nothing to praise

Let me forget all this place

Help me forgo all the pain

Stay elated and estranged

Forget the game, I'm getting faded

Lead me safe beyond this plane

Show disdain, I got no shame

Wish they'd all emit my name

See me grovel in my hatred

All so overcomplicated

Want it all to wash away

Leave me to myself again

Lead me safe beyond this plane

Show disdain, I got no shame

Wish they'd all emit my name

See me grovel in my hatred

All so overcomplicated

Want it all to wash away

Leave me to myself again

With the attitude of, 'This is going to hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you.'

When you look at the world in that image

Or in the other image, that it's a stupid mechanism

Either point of view you take, you don't really belong

You're not really part of all this

It is quite alien to Western thought to conceive

That the external world, which is defined as something that happens to you

It is quite alien to our thought to consider all that as you yourself

See, the end is coming closer

Choose to hold my ground and brood

Out for the moment

Coming back when I can't help but blow a fuse

Nothing stays inside this life, an ever-changing, flowing fume

Endless stream is winding on

From which these features are produced

Alternate from making light of all the weight

To hating life and needing space

I can't seem to get it straight

No attainment, no mistakes

Nothing to blame, nothing to praise

Let me forget all this place

Help me forgo all the pain

Stay elated and estranged

Forget the game, I'm getting faded

Lead me safe beyond this plane

Show disdain, I got no shame

Wish they'd all emit my name

See me grovel in my hatred

All so overcomplicated

Want it all to wash away

Leave me to myself again

Lead me safe beyond this plane

Show disdain, I got no shame

Wish they'd all emit my name

See me grovel in my hatred

All so overcomplicated

Want it all to wash away

Leave me to myself again

Because, you see, we have such a myopic view of what oneself is

It's as if, in other words, we selected how much experience is really to be regarded as me.

As if you focused your attention on certain restricted areas of the whole panorama of things that you experience

And say, 'I will take sides with that much of it."

Now, we come here to an extremely important principle

Which is the different points of view you get when you change your level of magnification
