Lyrics
Quality is what you think you see
Quality is the perception shaped by one's beliefs.
Before God's choreography
Reference to the intricate plan designed by God.
Gets tangled in your synapses dreams
God's plan becomes confused in the dream-like state of synapses.
Oh please tell me you know what I mean
Seeking confirmation of shared understanding.
Well I could be sitting by a brook
Imagining a serene setting by a brook.
Pouring out of your favorite book
Extracting emotions from a cherished book.
Everything created by looking
Creation through observation and contemplation.
At what has really stuck
Focusing on what truly matters and stays with you.
Misty magic on the breach
Mystical atmosphere at the shore.
Jon told Bob told Rob told me
Transmission of information through a chain.
That I can see what I can see
Claiming the ability to perceive.
Won't you let the powers be
Request to allow natural forces to guide.
Well she told me coldly
A cold revelation from someone.
Not to harbour a hand
Advising against holding onto a relationship.
But I could tell by that wayside glance
Noticing alternative intentions through a casual look.
That she had other plans
Acknowledging hidden plans of the person.
See she told me coldly
Reiteration of the warning against emotional attachment.
Not to harbour a hand
Confirmation of the person's concealed intentions.
But I could tell by that bitter look
Perceiving hidden motives through a negative expression.
That she had other plans
Acknowledging undisclosed plans from the look.
Quality is what you think you see
Repetition of the theme of perception.
Before God's choreography
Referring again to God's intricate plan.
Gets scrambled in your neurotic dreams
Confusion in personal dreams due to neurotic tendencies.
Oh please tell me you know what I mean
Seeking understanding and confirmation.
I remember when you said
Recollection of a promise to rebuild a friendship.
We could be friends again
A hopeful past commitment to reconcile.
But that was a long time ago
Highlighting the elapsed time without significant change.
And ain't much has changed don't you know
Emphasizing the persistence of the status quo.
Misty magic on a leash
Revisiting the misty magical atmosphere, now on a leash.
Jon told Bob told Rob told me
Reiteration of information transmission through a chain.
That I can see what I can see
Reaffirmation of the ability to perceive.
Now won't you let the powers be
Request to allow natural powers to take control.
See she told me coldly
Repeating the earlier warning against emotional attachment.
Not to harbour a hand
Consistent advice not to hold onto a relationship.
But you were pretty strung out and frankly man
Acknowledging emotional distress and exhaustion.
Well I was spent
Expressing a sense of depletion and weariness.
Well she told me coldly
Reiterating the advice against holding onto emotions.
Not to harbour a hand
Consistent warning not to harbor emotional ties.
But I could tell by that far-off, side-eyed glance
Perceiving hidden intentions through a distant, sidelong look.
That she had other plans
Acknowledging concealed plans through a particular glance.
