Inside the Carousel II: The Colors Songtext
And then the colors arrived
Numerous colors of quite a few extraplanar rainbows
All coalescing in a protean impressionist state
On its way to becoming the bounds of local reality
The colors sprayed around and up and across in construction on a large scale
Or, it seemed that way to the newly formed Being-Question-Answer
Who felt as though she* was able to truly see and experience for the first time
As if every time before were a partial illusion
Shadows without light and light without shadow
Yes, she, no longer it, that was definite
Being and Question were definitely female
Which made Answer′s elusive genderlessness
Or plurality of gender
Entirely and quite steadfastly irrelevant
As if it were decided upon by a vote
And such an internal abstract decision would be the final say for a while
And in this sudden realization of completeness and wholeness
Being-Question-Answer named herself The Itinerant
And started to bicker with herself
The half that was Being suggested that they form a personality first
To be ready for the environment as it settled
So as to not have to worry about it with the absolutely unavoidable onslaught
Of overstimulation that was about to come about
The half that was Question and Answer
On the other hand
Suggested that the personality should be understood later on
Citing a concept floating in their shared mindspace
Having to do with creation of personality as a tool appropriate for the social climate
And since the social climate was unknown entirely
It would be completely foolish to jump into a shared personality
That would be unstable at best
And likely would not make any sense with whatever may be forming itself in front of her
Answer seemed to be content with being generally silent on all matters
But was definitely on the Question half
Assuming this amalgamation properly worked in such a straightforward manner
Which was quite doubtful to all parties involved
They did not have enough time, however
For Being to have her way
And as such
The Itinerant was born into the world of the Carousel
With absolutely no personality
And further
One would have to be given to her
She understood this, somehow
And started to exist as the village that formed around her
Pitched and heaved under the currents of emotion emanating from some unknown source
As well as weaker currents with origin at her feet
Numerous colors of quite a few extraplanar rainbows
All coalescing in a protean impressionist state
On its way to becoming the bounds of local reality
The colors sprayed around and up and across in construction on a large scale
Or, it seemed that way to the newly formed Being-Question-Answer
Who felt as though she* was able to truly see and experience for the first time
