LYRICS:
I am a forest of buildings,
I am a river of glass,
I'm the impossible future
In a dream from the past,
You are a dancing tornado
Taking back what I stole,
You are a migrating species
Rushing into my soul.
This sound is a wave of particles vibrating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology,
This idea was the rhythm of a string resonating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology
You are the the unchanging season
Captured frozen in clay,
I am a fossil of reason
Rising cloudy and grey,
You are gravity reeling
All my books off the shelf,
I am the universe feeling,
Experiencing itself.
This sound is a wave of particles vibrating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology,
This idea was the rhythm of a string resonating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology
I am the fleeting expression
Of the faintest idea,
I am a flickering shadow,
I am only just here,
You are time everlasting,
You are physical law,
We are deities clashing
In a frivolous war.

I believe sound to be a bubble. Our Conscious Perception creates the Waves which collapse the bubbles to create the sound. Like a Mantis Shrimp cracking it's claws creating Sonoluminesence. Our perception sheds the light on the notes which are always there. Looking through a Glass Onion of a Rainbow Feathered Serpent of Sound Bubbles..
Much Love and Appreciation to you for bringing new songs from the GodHead. I shall do a Whirling Dervish Tai Chi Yoga Dance with it.

Check out MOON by Miyavi. Different vibe but some similar guitar techniques. I agree that this dude is pretty amazing.

Beautiful song, beautiful performance. Thanks for posting this Jon, it's a great way to start the day

[@beatthebreaks]

An amazing performance as usual Jon my boy! I love the middle eastern, almost tribal vibe. That's what I take away from the music at least. Thought provoking lyrics as always. All in all a beautiful composition. Bravo!
