Testo Hungry Ghost - STRFKR
Testo della canzone Hungry Ghost (STRFKR), tratta dall'album Live from Brooklyn Steel
We identify in our experience
A differentiation between what we do and what happens to us
We have a certain number of actions that we perform voluntarily
We feel in control of them
But then over against that is
There are all those things that happen involuntarily
But the dividing line between these two is very arbitrary
Because for example
When you move your hand
You feel that you decide whether to open or close it
But then ask yourself, "How do you decide?"
When you decide to open your hand
Do you first decide to decide?
You don't, do you?
You just decide, and you do it
And if you don't know how you do it, is it voluntary or involuntary?
Let's consider breathing
You can feel that you control it
But when you don't think about it
When you don't think about it
So we come to have a very limited definition of ourselves
That much of my entity, which I feel I control
And then that doesn't include breathing most of the time
It doesn't include the heartbeats
It doesn't include the activity of the glands
It doesn't include digestion
It doesn't include how we shape our bones
Circulate your blood
Now if you get with yourself
And you find out that you are all of yourself
Your body
Your body, which you are doing
In other words, that the involuntary circulation of your blood
Is one continuous process with the stars shining
If you find out that it's you who circulates your blood
You will at the same moment find out that you are shining the sun
Because your physical organism
Is one continuous process with everything else that's going on
Just as the waves are continuous with the ocean
Your body is continuous with the total energy system of the cosmos
And it's all you
Only you're playing the game, that you're only this little bit of it
As I tried to explain
There are no physical reality
No such things as separate events
Now suppose when you woke up in the morning
You had to turn yourself on
And you had to think about the deliberate process
Of working out all the circuits
For activating your nervous system
Why, you'd never get done!
Because you'd have to remember all those things at once
That's why
In other words, that the involuntary circulation of your blood
Is one continuous process with the stars shining
If you find out that it's you who circulates your blood
You will at the same moment find out that you are shining the sun
