Here I Stand Before Me
Unveiling the Body's Secrets: Here I Stand Before Me
Lyrics
My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X-ray
Receiving advice from a doctor to undergo an X-ray.
Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day
Experiencing nightmares related to the impending X-ray.
The room was dark and my skeleton was floating on the wall
Describing the X-ray room, where the skeleton is visible on the wall.
My voice trembles down inside me
Expressing internal anxiety through a trembling voice.
I'm trapped way down in my body
Feeling confined within the physical body.
I, I, I, oh here I stand before me
Reflecting on personal existence with self-awareness.
But something's out of place here
Sensing a disturbance or anomaly in the self.
My mind's eye is missing from my body
Noticing a disconnect between perception and physical presence.
Well I know it's there but I can't see where
Acknowledging the existence of the mind's eye but struggling to perceive its location.
Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean to me?
Questioning the significance of fingers in personal identity.
You can easily look them up in the dictionary:
Suggesting a straightforward definition of fingers found in a dictionary.
They call them digits, or technically they're known as the "philanges"
Providing a technical term ("philanges") for fingers.
My joints connected up inside me
Describing the physical connection of joints within the body.
Way down deep inside my body
Expressing a deep internal location of these joints.
My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body
Highlighting the visibility of bones as a map of the entire body.
My vital organs just churn away inside me
Noting the continuous function of vital organs inside the body.
Some day they're going to stop this motion
Contemplating the eventual cessation of bodily motion.
And I'll be left with...
Anticipating an uncertain future.
My my, the future lay before me
Reflecting on the future ahead.
Hey hey, deep inside my body
Emphasizing the internal nature of these thoughts within the body.
