The More You Know
Wisdom Unveiled: The Paradox of Knowledge in Mobius Radio's 'The More You Know'
Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past period.
I didn't know that I didn't know
Awareness of ignorance in the past.
I couldn't see that I couldn't see
Realization of previous blindness.
How far there was for me to go
Recognizing the extent of personal growth needed.
As I try to understand
Attempting to comprehend.
I understand it won't make sense
Understanding may not be logical.
The more I learn, the more I learn
Knowledge brings challenges to confidence.
That it will eat away my confidence
Acknowledging the impact of learning.
You may walk a thousand miles to find ten thousand more
Endless pursuit with diminishing returns.
Sail the seas to find you've never left the shore
Discovering limitations despite exploration.
The more you chase the further it gets
The more you strive, the more elusive it becomes.
And after all this learning
Post-learning reflection.
You will learn there is just one truth to learn
Recognition of a singular universal truth.
I know the more you know
Reiteration of the paradox of knowledge.
The less you know
Understanding the inverse relationship of knowledge and ignorance.
The more that you know you don't know
Acknowledging the vastness of the unknown.
No, you don't know at all
Emphasizing the depth of ignorance.
I know the more you know
Repetition of the knowledge paradox.
The less you know
Restating the inverse correlation of knowledge and ignorance.
The more that you know you don't know
Emphasizing the vastness of the unknown.
No, you don't know at all
Highlighting the profound ignorance.
I look for answers
Seeking solutions but finding more questions.
But the answers that I find
Discovering that answers lead to further questioning.
Are just questions, now I question
Questioning the value of each lesson.
Every lesson, every time
Doubting the efficacy of experience.
Just to think that I could think
Reflecting on past confidence in one's thinking.
I knew enough to know it well
Realizing the inadequacy of previous knowledge.
I can't believe, I could believe
Expressing disbelief in past beliefs.
I wouldn't fight a war inside myself
Acknowledging internal struggles.
You may climb the mountain to find yourself at the base
Striving for self-improvement may lead to a starting point.
Travel the world just to stare up into space
Global exploration may result in insignificance.
The more you chase the further it gets
The pursuit of understanding remains elusive.
And after all there's learning
Reflection on continuous learning.
You will learn there is just one truth to learn
Recognition of the singular truth in learning.
I know the more you know
Reiteration of the paradox of knowledge.
The less you know
Understanding the inverse relationship of knowledge and ignorance.
The more that you know you don't know
Acknowledging the vastness of the unknown.
No, you don't know at all
Emphasizing the depth of ignorance.
I know the more you know
Repetition of the knowledge paradox.
The less you know
Restating the inverse correlation of knowledge and ignorance.
The more that you know you don't know
Emphasizing the vastness of the unknown.
No, you don't know at all
Highlighting the profound ignorance.
