Deep Puddle Dynamics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been let down, ungently
Left to ponder what's taken place
I repair my keep starin′ at his small sleepin' face
Everything's a phase and I′ve come such a long way
I′ve given all to appease

Strategy is my biggest tool in
This universal tournament
(Lives) inducing turbulence
To touch my pertinence
It's all so enlightening
It always above
The ultimate prevail, of a moment
Forces interlocking fusing ethereal motion
Life is but a deal, so many noble notions
Good breakfast, make a checklist
Alphabetize my records
All this struggling that I endure has made my back and neck hurt
That slab of worms and roots we rape to rot in
It wasn′t my fault, I thought
And thought, yet it's taunt...
Expand through the stages, everyday′s a knew planet
But still flew uncompletion after I run the gamut
Nature, health, knowledge, success
Woman, man, trust, progress
Culture, frailty, healing, destiny
Endurance, family, science, society
The music, the soul, healing,
Health, security, drugs, time...
Trials, hunt, advanced, innocence
Smiles, love, chance, relevance
(Doseone/All: What is the meaning of life?)
Commission myself to a cause, but of course
I want some exchange, the sun dying feeling
Is the strongest in my emotion range
Passion position it, now hunger
For the kisses, convulsing,
Lusting, clutch me, hold me
Touch me, thrusting, thrusting
We all at my anger, grutted and gritted
As we rummage in the aftermath, we attain nothing that we wanted
Easy is chosen, but "hard is to ground" understood
Drawing a front line thin between mustn't and should
At ease, no worrying scurrying around to accomplish
That′s all taken care of, relax, no need to ask
It hurts so good, misunderstood
I wouldn't leave it even, even when I wish that I could
Playthings become anew, I knew it all
I always thought beyond my 'magination
My perception′s a misleading tool
Of gravity, of relativity, of no accord
Genuine attempts to clone what is form
What it′s beholding moulding, constantly expanding
And constructing, there's no foreseen or happening
Obstructing
The random beyond results
Always shaping or happened, it′s fates only
Voice gang rape by talent medium in question,
Impregnated by all three of 'em, invade expression
We′ll just take a cylinder to symbolise
The presence of no presence, hollow in courage,
Shake in the space of it's worthlessness
A slow gather of scars peddles appearances
As a firm grasp it comes on composite experience
From oil and sludge, a new shadow strikes the planets
In the beginning there was darkness,
All the way to, up, up and away to
Take the steps through the gate that
Separates the garden from the snakes
Open my information highway to intake
To fill this puddle for us swelling
Transition to a lake
... Wrinkle of energy from empty,
A duty, weathering the damage to fix [(a kiss)]
This is why I′m here, where are my trophies?
Give me back my land and heart and family
Man, I'm parched
What you need, identical to what I hold above your head
Take heed, read my gospel, memorize all that I said
Next, make it better than the last was built,
Next, do it again this time, looking
That which you were dealt
Nature, health, knowledge, success
Woman, man, trust, progress
Culture, frailty, healing, destiny
Endurance, family, science, society
The music, the soul, healing,
Health, security, drugs, time...
Trials, hunt, advanced, innocence
Smiles, love, chance, relevance
(Doseone/All: What is the meaning of life?)
Fortune, health, knowledge, success
Woman, man, trust, progress
Culture, faith. healing, destiny
Endurance, family. science, society
Music, soul, healing, mind
Health, security, drugs, time




Trial, hunts, advanced, innocence
Smiles, love, chance, relevance

The soil we exploit and allow to decay


It wasn′t my fault, I thought
I believed that I was not responsible


And thought, yet it's taunt...
Although I contemplated, it still haunts me

Advancing through different phases, every day is a new world


But still flew uncompletion after I run the gamut
But still incomplete even after trying every possibility

I want some exchange, the sun dying feeling
I desire some compensation, this feeling of despair


Is the strongest in my emotion range
Is the most intense of my feelings


Passion position it, now hunger
Elevate my enthusiasm, now crave


For the kisses, convulsing,
For the caresses, writhing,


Lusting, clutch me, hold me
Yearning, grasp me, embrace me


Touch me, thrusting, thrusting
Feel me, pushing, pushing


We all at my anger, grutted and gritted
We all share my rage, clenching and grinding

As we search through the aftermath, we gain nothing we desired


Easy is chosen, but "hard is to ground" understood
Choosing the easy path, but understanding that the difficult one is more meaningful


Drawing a front line thin between mustn't and should
Creating a narrow boundary between prohibited and recommended


At ease, no worrying scurrying around to accomplish
Comfortable, without having to hurry to finish anything


That′s all taken care of, relax, no need to ask
Everything is taken care of, relax and don't inquire


It hurts so good, misunderstood
It is enjoyably painful, but misinterpreted


I wouldn't leave it even, even when I wish that I could
I would not abandon it, even though I want to


Playthings become anew, I knew it all
Toys become refreshed, I was aware of everything


I always thought beyond my 'magination
I consistently thought beyond my imagination


My perception′s a misleading tool
My understanding is an unreliable instrument


Of gravity, of relativity, of no accord
Of attraction, of interrelatedness, of incongruity


Genuine attempts to clone what is form
Authentic efforts to replicate something's shape


What it′s beholding moulding, constantly expanding
What it receives modifying, continuously growing


And constructing, there's no foreseen or happening
And building, there is no prediction or occurrence


Obstructing
Blocking


The random beyond results
The unexpected beyond the outcome


Always shaping or happened, it′s fates only
Always transforming or having occurred, it is only destiny


Voice gang rape by talent medium in question,
My voice is assaulted by the means of expression


Impregnated by all three of 'em, invade expression
Impregnated by all three of them, expression takes over


We′ll just take a cylinder to symbolise
We will utilize a cylinder as a representation


The presence of no presence, hollow in courage,
The lack of existence, the courage that is empty


Shake in the space of it's worthlessness
Shake in the void of its worthlessness


A slow gather of scars peddles appearances
The accumulation of scars produces a superficial appearance


As a firm grasp it comes on composite experience
As a tight hold comes through complete experience


From oil and sludge, a new shadow strikes the planets
A new influence emerges from matter and waste and affects the planets


In the beginning there was darkness,
Initially, there was no light


All the way to, up, up and away to
Continuing until, up, up and away to


Take the steps through the gate that
Pass through the gate by taking the steps


Separates the garden from the snakes
Divides the garden from the serpents


Open my information highway to intake
Open my communication passageway to receive


To fill this puddle for us swelling
To fill this small pool for us that is enlarging


Transition to a lake
Change to a larger body of water


... Wrinkle of energy from empty,
... A crease of power from nothing,


A duty, weathering the damage to fix [(a kiss)]
A responsibility, enduring the harm to repair (a kiss)


This is why I′m here, where are my trophies?
This is why I exist, where are my rewards?


Give me back my land and heart and family
Return to me my territory, emotions, and loved ones


Man, I'm parched
I am immensely thirsty


What you need, identical to what I hold above your head
What you require is exactly what I have above your head


Take heed, read my gospel, memorize all that I said
Pay attention, read my teachings, commit all that I stated to memory


Next, make it better than the last was built,
Then, improve it from the last one that was created,


Next, do it again this time, looking
Again, do it this time, watching


That which you were dealt
That which you were given


Fortune, health, knowledge, success
Luck, well-being, wisdom, achievement


Culture, faith. healing, destiny
Civilization, belief, recuperation, fate


Endurance, family. science, society
Stamina, kinship, research, civilization


Music, soul, healing, mind
Song, spirit, recuperation, intellect


Health, security, drugs, time
Well-being, safety, medication, time


Trial, hunts, advanced, innocence
Difficulty, pursuit, progression, purity
