Eyedea & Abilities - ...Powdered Water Too (Part 1) lyrics

[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 To understand objectively so they can study further If I grew up in a cubicle the walls limit 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 a man whose a hybrid of a body of a pirate Of a soul that can fly without control Realizing the brain takes in six billion signals per second Most of which are hidden and not given to the senses We're limited to a few futile primitive tools of perception Livin' in a universal pool of firsthand deception The mind's job is to receive 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; incomparable 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 don't know the meal We only know the menu that our brains tells us is real We don't know the rules of our heads From inside these cubicles we can't 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)
