Reshape Reason
Elitist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like shifting planets
From the edge of design
As fractioned pieces multiply
The metamorphic ground unveils
A map to a new life
From the distance
From the spaces between us
We will find hope
Counterfeit parts of the earth
Find their way into the depths of creation
Silhouetted in the sunset
Magnified by the apex of time
Concealed in the layers
Hidden from ordinary eyes
Architecture, this planet
Intelligent design
Enter a world of masterpiece
Where what you see is what you make
Enter a world of masterpiece
A perfect system
Reshape reason
What you can't see
What you can't hear
Will show itself to you
(Reapeat 2x)
Enter a world of masterpiece
A perfect system
Reshape reason
In Elitist's song Reshape Reason, the lyrics describe a transformational journey of epic proportions. The listener is taken on a metaphorical ride through a shifting world of planets and metamorphic ground, where fractioned pieces multiply and counterfeit parts of the earth find their way into the depths of creation. The song speaks to the idea that in the spaces between us, we can find reason and hope, and that even what we cannot see or hear will show itself to us in time. The chorus serves as a call to action, beckoning the listener to enter a world of masterpiece - where what you see is what you make, and where the perfect system can be reshaped.
Overall, the song seems to touch on themes of transformation, evolution, and the power of perspective. The lyrics suggest that even the most broken pieces can find their place within a larger design, and that everything has a purpose within the larger system of creation. The music itself is fast-paced and energetic, and the lyrics are delivered with a sense of urgency and passion that underscores the transformative nature of the song's message.

On and off we tilt
We are constantly fluctuating and changing
Like shifting planets
Our movements and changes are similar to those of celestial bodies
From the edge of design
We are evolving and transforming from the limits of our current state
As fractioned pieces multiply
As our individual components increase and become more complex
The metamorphic ground unveils
We are revealing and discovering new aspects of ourselves and the world around us
A map to a new life
Our discoveries are leading us on a path to a new way of existence
From the distance
Even when we are far apart
From the spaces between us
Even in the spaces that separate us
We will find reason
We will discover the purpose and meaning behind our experiences
We will find hope
We will discover optimism and positivity in the midst of our struggles
Counterfeit parts of the earth
Fake, artificial components of our environment
Find their way into the depths of creation
Are becoming a part of the natural world
Silhouetted in the sunset
Outlined in the fading light of day
Magnified by the apex of time
Made more significant by the passage of time
Concealed in the layers
Hidden beneath the surface, in multiple layers
Hidden from ordinary eyes
Not easily discovered by the average person
Architecture, this planet
The structure and design of our planet and its ecosystem
Intelligent design
An intentional and purposeful creation
Enter a world of masterpiece
Experience a world that is finely crafted and masterfully designed
Where what you see is what you make
What we perceive and experience informs and shapes our reality
A perfect system
An optimal and functional structure
Reshape reason
Change our perceptions and understanding to create new meaning and purpose
What you can't see
The hidden aspects of our reality
What you can't hear
The silent or unspoken elements of our existence
Will show itself to you
Will be revealed and become apparent to you
Enter a world of masterpiece
Experience a world that is finely crafted and masterfully designed
A perfect system
An optimal and functional structure
Reshape reason
Change our perceptions and understanding to create new meaning and purpose

Reshape Reason
The lyrical theme of a lot of the songs are based on literature, stories, kings and legends tied to Freemasonry. This is why we chose similar imagery on the album art. We have no intention of spreading conspiracies or messages about the devil.

RIP, i dont know how your sound got progressively less progressive (imo), but (again, imo) this album and your older stuff sits bravely amongst the stars, shining with the light of glory, showing a path for others.

@Madara imo means "in my opinion". in case you didnt know that.
