andeo – leaving dubai lyrics
[intro]
r.c sproul: as we continue our study of the ‘isms’, the ideologies or the foundational philosophies that impact the culture in which we live, i want to turn our attention now to ‘hedonism’
[verse 1]
the hour’s approaching – emotions unfolding
trying to find a lock for the key that i hold
and its known that i shoulder the world as i mold it
upholding the truth when its blistering cold
but i’m frigidly rigid and i need to thaw
this comfortable living is k!lling me slow
i’m starting to think i should pack up and go
and i planted the seeds, so in time they will grow
slowly evolving according to laws
of nature and patience of ancient resolve
it should be enough – but before heading off
i’ll leave ’em the sun and some riddles to solve
like “what feels like climbing but truly is falling
and tastes so sweet but smells so appalling
the more that you get, the more that you want
and when you think you’ve won , you discover you’re haunted?”
[chorus]
haunted, you can’t feel it anymore
you don’t want it, but it’s got you working for it
[verse 2]
now, weren’t we reminded that we’re running blind
leaving a trail of our essence behind
repeatedly warned that we can not align
the light in our hearts with the lies in our minds?
and i heed, i will not survive another repeat
succeeding this time will look like defeat
when they ran their mouths, i spoke with my feet
they’re failing the tests and now trying to cheat
still affirming in mirrors they’re finally free
but their bodies are conjuring friction and heat
providing the fire the fuel it needs
they’ll live in invisible prisons of thoughts
cause freeing the flesh will imprison the heart
…and this is precisely how this war fought:
portraying the cheapest of pleasures as art
[chorus]
haunted, you can’t feel it anymore
you don’t want it, but it’s got you working for it
[breakdown]
r.c sproul: hedonism defines the truth in terms of pleasure and pain, the highest good of man – the ultimate purpose of his being is found in the enjoyment of pleasure and the avoidance of pain
[chorus]
haunted, you can’t feel it anymore
you don’t want it, but it’s got you working for it
