Deep Puddle Dynamics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Line by Line Meaning
I′ve been let down, ungently
I have been disappointed, without mercy
Left to ponder what's taken place
Abandoned to consider what has happened
I repair my keep starin′ at his small sleepin' face
I mend my own state while gazing at his peaceful sleeping countenance
Everything's a phase and I′ve come such a long way
Each experience is temporary and I have made significant progress
I′ve given all to appease
I have sacrificed everything to satisfy
Strategy is my biggest tool in
Planning is my primary method for success in
This universal tournament
This competition for existence throughout the world
Lives inducing turbulence
Living produces chaos
To touch my pertinence
To affect my relevance/importance
It's all so enlightening
It is all very illuminating
It always above
It is always superior
The ultimate prevail, of a moment
The final victory belongs to a single instant
Forces interlocking fusing ethereal motion
Entities combining and merging in a spirit-like movement
Life is but a deal, so many noble notions
Life is a transaction that involves multiple admirable principles
Good breakfast, make a checklist
Eating a satisfying meal and making a list
Alphabetize my records
Organizing my possessions in alphabetical order
All this struggling that I endure has made my back and neck hurt
The effort I put in has resulted in physical discomfort
That slab of worms and roots we rape to rot in
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
Expand through the stages, everyday′s a knew planet
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
Nature, health, knowledge, success
The natural world, well-being, intelligence, achievement
Woman, man, trust, progress
Femininity, masculinity, faith, advancement
Culture, frailty, healing, destiny
Society, weakness, recovery, fate
Endurance, family, science, society
Stamina, kinship, research, civilization
The music, the soul, healing,
The art, the essence, recuperation
Health, security, drugs, time...
Well-being, safety, medication, time...
Trials, hunt, advanced, innocence
Difficulties, pursuit, progression, purity
Smiles, love, chance, relevance
Happiness, affection, opportunity, importance
(Doseone/All: What is the meaning of life?)
Asking what is the purpose of living
Commission myself to a cause, but of course
Dedicating myself to a goal, naturally
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 rummage in the aftermath, we attain nothing that we wanted
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
