Fractals
Makari Lyrics

Pulled into
Entering a new dream that is not my own

Another dream that isn't mine
Continuing in the new dream world

The thread gone through
Passing through a thread or path

The silver needle's eye
The pathway is narrow and precious

And sewn back to you
Returning to the familiar and comforting

Only to be ripped apart
Being torn from the comfortable and familiar again

One heart, now two
Being severed from another person and becoming two separate entities

So do we get what we deserve
Questioning if we receive what we should based on our actions

Or are we
Considering an alternative possibility

Made of nothing more
Contemplating the nature of our existence

Than fractals of light
Wondering if we are just small pieces of the universe

Shooting in the dark
Moving through our lives without full understanding

Moving faster
Continuously speeding through our existence

Than we ever have before
Faster than previous generations

We're chasing after
Pursuing a connection or understanding of the universe

A glimpse of all that we adore
Searching for moments of pure joy or bliss

A moment of calm
A brief period of peace

My touch on your arm
Trying to comfort or connect with another person

Whispering sleep now, sleep now
Attempting to lull another person to sleep

The river's flowing backwards
The world is moving in an unexpected direction

And everyone's an actor
People are playing roles in an unpredictable universe

In too deep now, deep now
Being fully immersed in the complexities of life

Reaching for the surface
Trying to find a way out of a difficult situation

Crying out for purpose
Attempting to find meaning or understanding in life

You and me
Acknowledging the existence of another person

We're just plots on the curve
Reflecting on how insignificant we are within the universe

A shining
Attractive and notable

Spectacle to observe
Something worth watching and studying

Spiraling fractures on a silver arc
Visualizing the beauty of the universe and its complexities

So how many more ways can
Asking a rhetorical question

You cut me out just to
Feeling as if someone is intentionally separating themselves from you

Bring me to life
Helping you feel alive or connected

And how many more times will
Asking another rhetorical question

I subdivide before
Splitting apart into smaller pieces

I'm not the sum of my parts
Expressing the idea that parts of oneself do not add up to the whole

And you don't recognize me anymore
Feeling unnoticed or unimportant

Sleep now
Commanding someone to rest
