Sail the Tangerine Seas
What do you want to hear?
Do you want to know my secrets?
Want to know my life? Well I'll tell you my friend
My thoughts are a double edged knife.
My ideas are too intricate for you,
You won't understand the underlying concepts.
You will observe the smoke screen,
Ignoring the true phenomenon.
Now try and read between the lines
Unravel the words, tear them apart and untwine.
Now do you see the mauve oceans and turquoise grass?
See the way we live our lives so fast?
Death is impossible without living,
So live life to the fullest expecting death at any moment.
Forget false beliefs and wrongful atonement.
Don't apologize for your errors but rather accept them as lessons
Tell everyone who criticizes you look in the mirror
Show them what you don't want to be,
A drab, boring, and uneventful person,
Following societies oversimplified version.
Should I follow what civilization tells me?
To not try the new but stick with the known.
No! I will fight the old and enforce the new,
I will walk the wrong way on purpose to find the unknown
Yeah sure we can act right and follow the commandments
But what do we get in return? A hope? A possibility?
What we need to do is act, not to just be.
We have to go out, attack, and sail the tangerine seas.
