€¦powdered Water Too Lyrics - Eyedea

[Eyedea] 

If someone grew up in a cubicle as Plato once suggested 

They would only know the cubicle and not the world outside it 

And they wouldn't view the cubicle as something geometric 

We only know it's a cubicle because we live outside it 

Now the one inside the cubicle can't comprehend his measurements 

Because measurements are models made up for and by observers 

Relative to their position on the outside of the cubicle 

Though understand objectively so they can study further 

If I grew up in a cubicle the walls are in my universe 

I have no knowledge of the entirety like the outsiders do 

If you follow what I say and can swallow the powdered water 

Close your eyes and open your minds, this one's for you 

And the brain equals a cubicle we'll never think outside it 

Now inside wanna try to tie a diagram to modify them 

I'm there as a hybrid of a body of a pirate 

Of a soul that can fly without control 

Realizing the brain ticks at six billion signals per second 

And most of which are hidden and not given to the senses 

Whether to do a few futile primitive tools to perception 

livin in a universal pool of first hand deception 

The mind's job is to recieve the signals 

And block out the ones that don't coincide with imprinted symbols 

That way the information you obtained is recognized 

Reality is thinkable and comparable to space and time 

It makes a map of the territory that gives us 

The topic of the Copenhagen interpretation of modern quantum 

Physics which states we dont know the meal 

We only know the menu that our brains tell us is real 

We don't know the rules of our heads 

From inside these cubicles we cant see the truth 

No one really knows exactly what happens when we think 

Therefore we can never really ever know anything 

This is the consciousness revolution 

You got the right to think 

Don't think about it just do it 

(repeats stanza til fade out)
