Superposition

Lyrics:

I can feel a change has been made inside of me

Free to let go of who I was 

and everything I thought I’d be

Shed of will to fight the long past self-injuries

And putting the blade back into the belt

Being happy just to breathe


Spent a lifetime gaming to grasp gilded glory

To finally set myself apart

To finally be seen

But the moments passed and the black tides grew high

Swallowing up the shore and sky

And pulling me out to sea


Incompleteness in my skin

Incompleteness in my skin

Shadowed faces, quiet places

In between the din

No intention in the stars

No intention in them

Let it all begin

Let the silence in

Incompleteness in my skin

Incompleteness in my skin

Unlit halls, weathered walls

In the shifting sands

No intention in the stars

No intention only superposition

Ready to begin



Now what’s left will wait in the lap

Of patient sleep

For someone to stumble into the gaps of my history

What I’ll whisper to them is yet a mystery

The wisdom of fools who’ve shouted back

At thrashing eternity


Incompleteness in my skin

Incompleteness in my skin

Shadowed faces, quiet places

In between the din

No intention in the stars

No intention in them

Let it all begin

Let the silence in

Incompleteness in my skin

Incompleteness in my skin

Unlit halls, weathered walls

In the shifting sands

No intention in the stars

No intention only superposition

Ready to begin


(Stormy weather, stand tall

Let the river flow)

  • @mr_octopus Hi there. Thought ya'd like to know: I clicked on your link and it took me to the MixCloud's main page and not your specific link/song. Wanted to listen after I read your lyric. I love your opening verse in the way it introduces your frame of mind. I'm a little lost on the chorus but that could just be me but I'm feeling like it means you're 'letting go of old ideas'; is that right? Never mind me. I just looked up 'Superposition' and find it's way over my head. Interesting and intriguing title. Would love to listen to it when you get your link fixed.

    Nice to meet you,

  • Hi @HummerWisdom and @RainbowKeeper Thanks for letting me know about the link! Appreciate your comment about the chorus. I found it difficult to find words for what I was trying to convey but, yes, essentially it's about letting go of preconceived ideas and letting things be as they are. I think this link might work? https://www.mixcloud.com/mr_octopus/superposition/
