Mantra
Grohl Homme and Trent Reznor Lyrics

A vision of you there Standing tall By the gate
I see you in my mind's eye, confident and strong, standing by the entrance

Everything is new Stare in-to What is not Yet
The world is full of unfamiliar things, take a closer look at the unknown

As your bones grow And you feel the pain In exchange
As you age, you will experience physical pain, but you will gain valuable experiences in return

Experiences hang Run round your mind And collide
Memories of your experiences constantly swirl in your mind and interact with one another

Hang your toes Over the edge Cause you can
Take a risk and flirt with danger, because you have the ability to do so

You can switch your place Hide in-side If you try
You have the power to change your perspective and retreat within yourself, but it requires effort

You'll open up your eyes And realize How you fit In the wild
You will gain clarity about your place in the world and how you fit within nature

A lion is a lion No apologies And a leash Is a leech
Animals are unapologetically themselves and being tied down takes away your freedom

In a corral You're safe and warm Pass it on to A roo she/ every sheet
Being confined can be comforting, and it's important to share this feeling with others

Time and time again You stick your self To accept Someone else
You constantly make sacrifices to accommodate others and prioritize their acceptance over your own self

Give up the wish Let go of the dream Barricade Fantasy
Abandon unrealistic desires and stop wasting your energy on unattainable fantasies

Burn the dogma Let the fire Overtake The desire To define
Destroy oppressive beliefs and let passion consume you, rather than trying to neatly define everything

I will find a way To keep this moment For myself I will find a way
I will preserve this experience for myself, in some way or another

What's raging Out of control Like a wheel Like a storm Like a virus Like an ocean Like a silence An emotion Like a darkness Like a chance An idea Like a verb Like an outrage Like a sunrise Like a monster (Like a mantra) Like a monster (Like a mantra) Like a mantra (Like a monster) Like a mantra (Like a monster)
The feeling that's consuming you is wild and untamed, taking on countless forms and characteristics- like a mantra, a monster, a wave, etc.

nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again
There's a sense of chaos and constant change, with things never remaining static and always evolving
