Adam
Embracing Life's Illusions: A Song of Awakening
Lyrics
In the dawning waking hour he'll lift his head
In the early morning, he will awaken and raise his head.
And brush his eyes with gentle strokes
He'll gently wipe his eyes, but this action will mislead him.
That will only blindly mislead him
These actions will lead him astray into the beginning of creation.
Into the first day of creation
This marks the first day, but his perception is limited.
Which he can only see in limitation
He can only see the creation with limitations.
Now he sits upon his empty bed
Now he is sitting on his empty bed.
His heart is warm, his heart is full and he can see
His heart is warm and full, but he cannot keep 'me' (possibly a person or an idea).
Yet it is impossible for him to retain me
Despite being able to see, he cannot retain 'me.'
For his arms are without form
His arms lack a defined shape, making it impossible to hold.
And he cannot know the word
He is unable to comprehend the spoken word.
As his mind cries out absurd
His mind expresses irrational thoughts.
Now he's standing inside the doorway
Now he stands in the doorway, filled with fear but believing in what he sees.
He is afraid but he believes all that he sees
He witnesses a merging of everything on the floor, and the images are tragic.
On the floor where everything is merging
Belief in magic begins to take root in his mind.
And the pictures he sees are tragic
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided)
And he begins to believe in magic
He now lies down in a hole in the ground where it is cold.
Now he lies down in a hole, down in the ground
He understands his significant mistake as he lies in the cold ground.
Where it is cold and now he knows
He comprehends that he didn't need to age.
Now he realizes his biggest mistake
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided)
That he never had to grow old
He acknowledges that he never had to grow old.
And he never had to grow cold and die
He never had to experience the coldness of growing old and dying.
