The Alchemist
Emancipate Your Mind: The Alchemist's Wisdom
Lyrics
We don't dare be enslaved
We refuse to be controlled or dominated.
By our own brains
Avoiding being confined or limited by our own thoughts.
Sense of self
The awareness of oneself.
Gone away
Lost or disappeared.
Bring it back
Recover it.
Some other day
Delay the process to another time.
Everybody climbs the tower
Everyone progresses in life at their individual speed.
At their own pace
Not everyone recognizes the hidden danger or challenge.
Not everybody sees the serpent
A serpent metaphorically represents a hidden threat or obstacle.
That's coiled at the base
Personal experience of encountering the serpent.
(I know, I saw it)
(Acknowledging personal observation of the serpent.)
I climbed the tower
The journey of self-discovery, facing challenges.
Big ol' hole at the top
Obstacle or emptiness encountered at the summit.
Then I saw the guru
Encounter with a wise figure or guide.
But she told me to stop
Advice from the guide to halt the current path.
She said
Paint that shit gold
Action to change and improve.
Paint that shit gold with your fingertip
Transform the situation positively with personal effort.
Paint that shit gold
Continuing the positive transformation boldly.
You know you've got to be bold
Emphasizing the need for courage in the process.
So come on!
Encouragement to proceed confidently.
Sense of self
The concept of self is shattered or disappeared.
Blown away
The ego is disintegrated or dissolved.
Melted ego
Personal identity undergoes a transformative process.
Integrate
Assimilate or integrate the transformed self.
Everybody climbs the mountain
Individuals climb the metaphorical mountain at their own speed.
At their own pace
Not everyone recognizes the hidden truth or reality.
Not everybody sees the curtain
A metaphorical curtain hides a deeper truth or understanding.
That's pulled across their face
(Acknowledging personal awareness of the hidden truth.)
(But I know- I SAW IT)
I won't dare be enslaved
Personal commitment to avoid mental enslavement.
By my own brain
Paint that shit gold
Reiteration of the instruction to positively transform the situation.
Paint that shit gold with your fingertip
Continuing the positive transformation with personal effort.
Paint that shit gold
Emphasizing the need for courage in the ongoing process.
You know you've got to be bold
Encouragement to proceed confidently in the ongoing transformation.
So come on!
