Closer to Fine
Navigating Life's Shadows: A Journey to Inner Clarity
Lyrics
I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life.
I'm trying to express something about my life.
Maybe give me insight between black and white.
Perhaps provide me with understanding between contrasts, between right and wrong.
And the best thing you've ever done for me
The most beneficial thing you've done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously.
Is to assist me in not taking my life too seriously.
It's only life after all.
Life is just life, after all.
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable,
Darkness has an insatiable hunger,
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear.
And lightness has a call that is difficult to perceive.
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket.
I envelop my fear around me like a blanket.
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it.
I navigated my ship of safety until I sank it.
I'm crawling on your shores.
Now I find myself on your shores.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I sought advice from a doctor, I sought wisdom from the mountains.
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain.
I observed the innocence of children, I drank from the fountain of knowledge.
There's more than one answer to these questions
There's more than one solution to these questions.
Pointing me in a crooked line.
They guide me in a twisted path.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive,
The less I insist on finding a definitive source,
The closer I am to fine. The closer I am to fine.
The closer I get to a state of contentment. The closer I get to fine.
I went to see the Doctor of Philosophy
I consulted a Doctor of Philosophy,
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee.
With a poster of Rasputin and an extraordinarily long beard.
He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie.
He never married or indulged in low-quality movies.
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me.
He assessed my performance and claimed to see through me.
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind,
I spent four years bowing down to higher intellect,
Got my paper and I was free.
Received my certificate, and finally felt liberated.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
Again, I sought guidance from a doctor, sought solace in the mountains.
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain.
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain of wisdom.
There's more than one answer to these questions
There's more than one solution to these questions.
Pointing me in a crooked line.
They guide me in a twisted path.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive,
The less I insist on finding a definitive source,
The closer I am to fine. The closer I am to fine.
The closer I get to a state of contentment. The closer I get to fine.
I stopped by the bar at three A.M.
I visited a bar at 3 A.M. for comfort,
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend.
Seeking solace in a bottle or possibly a friend.
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board,
I woke up with a headache, my mind as hazy as the night before.
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before.
Twice as cloudy as the previous night.
And I went in seeking clarity.
I entered, hoping to find clarity.
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board,
I woke up with a headache, my mind as hazy as the night before.
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before.
Twice as cloudy as the previous night.
And I went in seeking clarity.
I entered, hoping to find clarity.
I go to the doctor, we go to the mountains.
Again, I sought advice from a doctor, we sought wisdom from the mountains.
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain.
We observed the innocence of children, we drank from the fountain of knowledge.
We go to the Bible, we go through the work out.
We turned to the Bible, we underwent the workout of life.
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout.
We studied revivals, stood up for a lookout.
There's more than one answer to these questions
There's more than one solution to these questions.
Pointing me in a crooked line.
They guide me in a twisted path.
And the less I seek my source, the closer I am to fine.
The less I insist on finding my source,
