Imagining

Dont stop imagining
The day that you do is the day that you die
X2

I heard you had a hard time rememberin′
The longest road trip we ever did
And the medicine ain't gonna slow it down or make it better
When we talk i′ll probably hear the last sentence that you said again
And again and again until I well up
I'm tryin' to be the man and keep my head and chin held up
But me and Steven going through it
We don′t even speak about it
And we know that′s your influence
I feel guilty I'm pursuing different paths so far away
We never used to talk but now hello is hard to say
When you got back from absence I felt things start to change
I let it breed as memories start to fade
Man, this shit is hard for me to deal with
I haven′t wrapped my head around, not sure if I feel shit
But this empty heart is not me, we can't stop the loss of thoughts
But there is one thing you taught me and thats...

Dont stop imagining
The day that you do is the day that you die
X4

And I was home when those tests came
We sat around the kitchen table
While we felt our chest cave
I died a bit inside, when Ry won that chess game...
That chess game, man I′m just sayin' ...im not angry
Nah wait, im angry as fuck
But im not angry at you, man, im angry at luck
Im angry that me and family and you had to be stuck
Watching the man that you were blow like granules of dust
But you raised acouple fighters
With fire in our eyes
We will be by your side til the (day that you die)
You taught me to question everything
You know I never lie
So was that day in june 09 really the (day that you died)
If your presence makes no sense when you close your eyes and reopen ′em
A clean slate every time your focus in broken then
Maybe you're a shell of your former self
And I'm hoping that your soul has flown home
And you feel no pain′s how I cope with it, dad
Im glad you treat mom better now
Its the least you could do
After all the years you let her down
Take no offense im only talkin′
We can't stop the loss of thoughts
But there is one thing you taught me and its...

Dont stop imagining
The day that you do is the day that you die
X4

We share a love of rock n roll
Baseball and bob clemente
Get to know him all you can
Thats what all my friends say
But they dont understand the end game
How can we heal?
Theres too many things you won′t be comprehending
Your line of thought's too hard to grasp
Im glad you′ve taken to arts and crafts
If only we'd have started farther back




Theres so much I wish I could to say
I beg your pardon dad, man

Overall Meaning

The song "Imagining" by Intuition & Equalibrum is a heartfelt and emotional tribute to a father who is suffering from memory loss and an unspecified illness. The first verse talks about the difficulties of coping with a loved one who has memory loss, with the singer feeling guilty about pursuing his own path while his father is struggling. The second verse is even more raw, with the singer expressing his anger and sadness at the situation. Despite the pain, the song is ultimately about the power of imagination and holding onto hope. The repeated line "Don't stop imagining, the day that you do is the day that you die" is a powerful reminder to keep dreaming and hoping, even in the face of adversity.

Apologies that this can no longer exist on Spotify / Apple Music. We tried our best to make a remake that does it justice and it is available on streaming platforms. It will never be available on streaming platforms in this form, and it was not our decision to make.

@MrPotatoMan00

Why cant it be on spotify?

@michael7898789

Will it stay up on YouTube? I'd purchase it too if I have to!

@shawnbreen6419

I am so sorry to hear that someone has blocked your art. The remake is great as well, but this was clearly what you imagined. I have a hard copy of it, I'll share it as often as I can. Thank you for everything you do. Keep the fight.

@ArtistKnownAsVR

Thanks for all the effort ❤️ I love the remake but this one just hits different, 💯
it really helped me when my grandpa when thru this before he passed

@Noah97144

I am sorry that someone blocked it due to sampling issues, this sing is truly a remarkable piece of art and has become special to me over the course of the years and I hope it will be cleared sometime soon again.. Keep crushing it!!

Great song, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My father was the old man in this video until a couple of weeks ago when he was killed in a motorcycle accident. Your song has become very sentimental to me and tears roll down my cheeks every time I listen to it. Thank you for making my father a part of your wonderful video and giving me something everlasting to remember him by.

@ItsIntuition

+Clint Nivison i just saw this comment, i'm sorry to be so late learning about this. i never met your father, but still find this devastating, and I informed Kyle, the video's director, he sends his condolences as well. his performance in this was a major part of the video doing so well. not really sure how to put into words what it feels like to find this out. i'm so sorry for your loss..

@MrPotatoMan00

+Clint Nivison My condolenses to you

@55iamlegend

I ride with my passenger pegs down in memory of fallen riders, this is a great example, i'm so sorry for your loss.
