I.O.T.A. Songtext
von Need

I had this dream last night
Dream. do you still dream?
Sometimes i do. must be a glitch in the program
It′s like my mind is trying to balance itself out
So what of this dream?
I dreamt this pillar of thick darkness descending through the universe
It was dense and flowing but at the same time solid enough to touch
It was clear to me that it was made of the
Same fabric feelings and thoughts are made of.
Are you high?
No but i so wish i were.
Now there is a part of you i could live without.
Why is getting high such a bad thing anyway?
If it was so bad they would call it low
You are thinking with your brain again
You're right i′am sorry.
Growing up i was convinced that smart was the thing to be
The dream darling. the dream.
Oh yes. this pillar of darkness was
Descending in a straight line through the universe


But there are no straight lines in the universe, remember?
Uncle albert proved so long long time ago.
Could i just...
Of course. i' am procrastinating again
So this pillar of darkness it was descending and then at
This odd time space moment it rusted in a giant goblet of light
I could feel the darkness pushing trying to
Pierce through the light but it just couldn't
The light wasn′t trying to push back though.
It just stood there all calm and vibrating ceaselessly
The collision produced this starry blood red
Dust which was slowly spreading all over the place
Some of it eventually reached me and i
Noticed it emitting this peculiar noise
There is no sound in the universe silly.
The big bang and all happened in complete silence
And yet there was sound.
There was a very precise one for that matter.
It was this ongoing e minor cord.
I could still hear it ringing in my head
Then the dust and the noise drifted away and i
Turned and saw it flying to this old barren planet
And by some miracle the moment the dust
Touched the surface of the planet it became alive
Forests and oceans and glaciers and
Mountains emerged out of the nothingness
And animals all sorts of them
People
And then i knew
This dust was the lifeblood of this planet and of all planets
Thoughts and feelings filtered through light give us life
Life in e minor
Love
Why do you burden yourself with such things
All i see here is sophistry mixed with a bit of surrealism
Surrealism? oh come on. you know that...
But where were you then?
I mean where were you sitting to be able to see all this?
Make no mistake. there is no seat to the universe.
You are right. there is no seat in the universe and if there ever was
It has been empty for millennia and is absolutely
Impossible for me to have been able to see all these things
But for all it′s worth for that brief
Subtle moment i think that i was the universe
You think you were the universe?
Come now give us a kiss and turn of
The light and put your darkness to sleep
Don't you ever remember your dreams?
No not. for a long time i haven′t.
But what did you dream of when you could still remember?
Can't be sure but i was dreaming of freedom...
