Mantra
Joshua Homme Trent Reznor and Dave Grohl Lyrics

A vision of you there Standing tall By the gate
You see yourself in a new light, standing confidently at the entrance of new opportunities

Everything is new Stare in-to What is not Yet
You are faced with the unknown, but instead of being afraid, you stare it down with curious anticipation

As your bones grow And you feel the pain In exchange
You experience growth and change, but this often comes with discomfort and pain

Experiences hang Run round your mind And collide
Memories and experiences swirl around in your head, often colliding and forming new perspectives

Hang your toes Over the edge Cause you can
You are able to take risks and step outside your comfort zone

You can switch your place Hide in-side If you try
You have the ability to change your perspective and look inwardly for growth

You'll open up your eyes And realize How you fit In the wild
You will gain a new understanding of your place in the world and be more connected to nature

A lion is a lion No apologies And a leash Is a leech
Stay true to your nature, as a lion is unapologetically itself, while being constrained detracts from your true nature

In a corral You're safe and warm Pass it on to A roo she/ every sheet
Being sheltered in a corral gives you a sense of security, so pass that sense of security along to others who need it

Time and time again You stick your self To accept Someone else
You tend to compromise your own needs and desires to please others

Give up the wish Let go of the dream Barricade Fantasy
Stop clinging to unrealistic desires and embrace reality

Burn the dogma Let the fire Overtake The desire To define
Get rid of limiting beliefs and let passionate energy take over instead of trying to restrict and define everything

I will find a way To keep this moment For myself I will find a way
You want to hold on to this moment and cherish it in your own way

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)
There are many things that can rage out of control and overwhelm you, but also be like a powerful mantra that you can channel and use for strength and focus

nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same nothing the same
This is a pivotal moment where things will never be the same

And all of this Will never be the same Again
This moment will be forever imprinted on you and you will never be the same again
