Quote
I don't mind if I am getting nowhere
Circling the seed of light
I've been greedy for some destination
I can't get to where are you?
Turning reverie to perfect solids
Bone and shells to hide ourselves
I tried but can't find refuge in the angle
I'll walk the mystery of the curve

Five Colors blind the eyes
   See the world inside
Amazed alone

I don't mind if I am getting nowhere
Circling the seed of truth
Telling everything but saying nothing
I went further than I knew
Giving meaning a resuscitation
The darkest soul illuminates
The sky is changing I'm unknowing knowing
As every sign of new life waits

Five Colors blind the eyes
   See the world inside
Amazed alone

Opening my hands closing wounds I made myself
Raise the dead and bury all my fears
Listen to the rain
And the bells that ring in my dreams
Turning time to break its line from here
To the small forgotten road
Where we see the concrete world disintegrating

I don't mind if I am getting nowhere
Circling the seed of light
I've been greedy for some destination
I can't get to where are you?
Turning reverie to perfect solids
Bone and shells to hide ourselves
I tried but can't find refuge in the angle
I'll walk the mystery of the curve.

"Five Colors blinds the eye" is from Toa Teh Ching by Loa Tsu.  Maybe if anyone is familiar with that part of his work, it could help with this song.  Have fun.

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:

Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

It's a song about the pursuit of truth, I think, and it seems to be specifically talking about finding truth in the arts.

My favorite line is this: "I tried but can't find refuge in the angle/ I'll walk the mystery of the curve." I have a feeling that that line is a reference to Sam's departure from CCM Land back in the day...
