Detach from the Outcome
Scar Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The third eye is opening
Dimethyltryptamine and harmine
Natural secretions of the mind
Ingestion, convulsion
Enlightenment, bliss
Immersed in the sacred plant
It speaks the word I haven't heard
Since before my birth
Everything comes alive
I hear the voice of the stars
You must detach from the outcome
I hear the voice of the earth
I reflect, just imitate
The one inside the mirror
A gentle touch, then a rush
When I step inside the glass
Colliding, dissolving
Remembering, bliss
Everything comes alive
I hear the voice of the stars
You must detach from the outcome
I hear a voice everywhere
Colliding, dissolving
Enlightenment, bliss
I hear the voice of the sun
I hear the voice of the stars
I hear the voice of the earth
I hear a voice everywhere
The lyrics to Scar Symmetry's song Detach from the Outcome describe the experience of ingesting dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and harmine, which are natural secretions of the mind. These substances invade the mind and induce a state of enlightenment and bliss. The third eye, a symbol of insight and awareness, is opening and the singer is "awake" in their "dream." They feel immersed in a sacred plant which speaks to them, revealing knowledge that they haven't heard since before their birth.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of detaching from the outcome, suggesting that this detachment is necessary for enlightenment. The singer hears the voice of the stars, the earth, the sun, and "a voice everywhere." They reflect and imitate the one inside the mirror before "colliding, dissolving, remembering, bliss." The repeated mention of bliss emphasizes the sense of euphoria and spiritual connection that the singer experiences during their journey.
