Lucid Dreaming

from Unheard, Unseen by Small Souls

/

about

This song starts with an image from Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave,” a story which is deeply ingrained in my perspective on reality and identity. I wanted to challenge that perspective, but I also wanted to convey the problem with the way I was challenging it. Ultimately this song is a giant fuck you to everyone.

lyrics

The shadows on the cave, broken as they’re made
Fuck that story
Eyelids fluttering, false awakenings
With your blessing

Fuck you therapist, you cross yourself and miss
What I’m saying
The lion on the hearth ate my baby’s heart
Lucid dreaming

I’m halfway down the road, bleeding from your nose
My car is waiting

Fuck you citizens, and all your differences
I’m immigrating
I cut myself apart, just above the heart
Disassociating
And fuck you everyone until my cock is numb
From all the fucking
I cut myself in two, now it’s me and you
Lucid dreaming

The lion on the hearth
The book you read apart
Like time inside a star
Overrated
