Then there appears senses, FIVE or SIX of them.

What makes you satisfied?
ACIDMAN's song Free White is a poetic reflection on the human experience of sensation and perception. The opening lines read, "As I get a sound, I feel the point and lives. Then there appears senses, FIVE or SIX of them." These lyrics suggest that the act of perceiving sensory stimuli is deeply connected with the experience of being alive. In other words, the ability to hear, touch, taste, see, and smell is what makes us feel present and engaged in the world around us.
The song then goes on to list the five traditional senses: "sight", "touch", "taste", "smell", and "hearing". However, the lyrics leave one sense blank, with a pair of brackets indicating its absence. This could be interpreted in a number of ways. Some might see it as a nod to the idea of a "sixth sense", such as intuition or extrasensory perception. Others might read it as a commentary on the limits of human perception – that there is always more to the world than we can ever fully understand.
The final two lines of the song pose a question: "What makes you satisfied?" This seems to be a rhetorical question – the real point of the lyrics is not to answer it, but to inspire listeners to reflect on what brings them joy, fulfillment, and a sense of freedom. Ultimately, the song seems to be a celebration of the human capacity for sensation and the way that it makes life rich and meaningful.
