akira the don - follow the way lyrics

simply put
a mythology is a set of stories, of ideas
that tries to make sense of the world
and our place in it
no special knowledge
or education is required
you need only a deep interest
in what it means to be alive

there are two kinds of mythology
what is called the right+hand path
the mythology of the village compound
that keeps you fixed
in the context of your world
you grow up here
you live as expected
you live a dignified, successful
and, in a rich society
a richly developed life
on the other hand
you may flip out
you may have the feeling of incongruities here
“this doesn’t go with me”
and then you move out
you move out
into a realm of danger
this is known as the left+hand path
[chorus]
you follow the way
of your own bliss
and you are in a realm for which
there are no rules
you follow the way
of your own bliss
and since your bliss is not mine
you don’t know
where you’re going

here you will live a life of danger
creativity
perhaps not a respected life
but certainly an interesting one
and these are the two choices
and there are mythologies for both
there’s the right+hand mythology
which is local to each culture
and then there is what i would call
the general mythology of the hero journey
the night sea journey
the hero quest
where the individual is going to bring forth
in his life
something that was never beheld before
namely the fulfillment
in time and sp+ce
of his own potentialities
which are peculiar to himself
the fulfillment
in time and sp+ce
of his own potentialities
which are peculiar to himself

[chorus]
you follow the way
of your own bliss
and you are in a realm for which
there are no rules
you follow the way
of your own bliss
and since your bliss is not mine
you don’t know
where you’re going
you don’t know
where you’re going
you don’t know
where you’re going
you don’t know
where you’re going
you don’t know
