atlas of elysian - through the threads of reality lyrics
i am grateful for the day, mostly
but sometimes
a discontented haze glazes appreciation for life
for the clockwork hum of functioning anatomy
or the birds singing chorally
and allowing us to enjoy their melodies
some days, it’s easy to forget
it’s easy to drown out the sound
let something else consume us instead
leave blinkers on red
before apathetically resigning to our pillow
and whispering to it our melancholy
some carry their past as a dead weight
making it harder for thеm to cross the finish line
for the racеs, we start and finish every day
i harness mine as protection
a key to the future
where all that matters is the present
every day is a journey
so i pack my bags ready for what happens next
i make my travel guide
by formulating the ways
i can purge my mind
of the burdens which relentlessly scratch away at the base of my skull
i still hear the echoes of idyllic idioms which are never grounded in reality
“time will tell…”
“time is the greatest healer…”
imagine, if we were taught what freedom really tastes like
imagine, the sticky+sweet nectar of mental liberation
being dripped onto your tongue
allowing you to savor how it really feels to be free
from insecurity
anxiety
and panic attacks which rip the ground from beneath our feet
draw sensation from our lips
makes our rhythmic pulses feel like lacerating stings
my afflictions aren’t my enemies
i wear them with no hostility, knowing i can take them off
with wishful thinking
and relinquishing the sinking feelings
which pull me down when i entertain the idea
i need to be punished for being human
there were days when i afraid of the sun
and the rays which illuminate everything i didn’t want to see
there were days when the only safe place was the sp+ce in my dreams
where i could run free and explore new realities under my own orchestration
now, i embrace any effervescence the sky throws my way
i pull it towards me and live fully
with my open eyes and open mind opening up new possibilities
every day is a new premiere
and everyone has an invitation to the theatre
the ticket is my smile
the price is peace
i seek to spread addiction to being inspired
instead of what will make you numb and wired
my work started with me
but it will end by showing the world we’re all one
if you take my view
you’ll see what i see
and it’s so f+cking beautiful to see the delicacy of our temporary existence
and our impermanent nature laced with humility and compassion
my work is for unity, one destiny. all in harmony
peace has been there all along
hiding in the shadow of materialism and conformity
social constructions attempted to mold us
but let’s shatter them to dust
with the pride in our uniqueness
and understanding of the purity in individual presence
let your dreams carry you
be whatever awakens you
