Heraclitus

Posted on November 5, 2014November 5, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Is there change in the air
Is there change in the anywhere
Is this change uncompared

All a flux for those with bucks

I see London. I see France.
Seeing politicians in their underpants
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
The bigger the crown the harder the down

Re-arrange their despair
Sending hope from here to there
Cause the change if you’re aware

All a flux for those with bucks

ABOUT THE SONG

It’s a song about change and voting on election day.

Heraclitus is famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, “No man ever steps in the same river twice.”

Plato argues against Heraclitus as follows:
How can that be a real thing which is never in the same state? … for at the moment that the observer approaches, then they become other … so that you cannot get any further in knowing their nature or state …. but if that which knows and that which is known exist ever … then I do not think they can resemble a process or flux ….

LYRICS
You know it’s election day?
What more can I say
We’ve got to change the way
From repressive to O.K.

Chorus
There’s the piper to pay
The Town Crier says, “Everyone’s a liar!”
Corruption — they do what they may
Eruption — the situation’s dire

You know it’s election day?
What more can I do
Run and join the foray?
Wouldn’t want to be like you

Chorus

I know it’s election day
What will change anyway?
The same ole’s gonna stay
Unless we all vote *nay*

Hang Tight

Posted on November 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
You know the time it getting late
An I can hardly, hardly wait
There ain’t much for us to debate
At any rate… can’t
Hang tight
Alright?

Again and again
You say “cool your engine — hang tight”
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight

Ad you stall feeling over righteous
Can’t you tel that I’m anxious
Ya know what would be good for us
The next departure — train, plane or bus
I’m sure… can’t
Hang tight
Tonight

How do I begin
Explainin’ I’m burnin’
Hang tight?
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight

Wow! The best birthday present…
having all you friends present in the present…

On a lifelong adventure

Looking at you all
On my wall

My birthday wish
Is to wish all of you
Living bliss
And that your dreams come true

Wow! The best birthday present…

Raise a glass in toast

To know yourself
Is it really possible to acquire wealth
It’s to know yourself

When the matter of you
Is what you do
Identification

LYRICS
There’s a problem over there
Can you hear it going down
The sound of fear
You don’t wanna hear
Fills their air
In town

Drama phenomena

There’s a problem over there
Can you see it going down
A sight so ugly
You don’t wanna see
Fills their air
In town

There’s a problem over there
Can you smell it going down
A scent so foul
It’ll make ya growl
Fills their air
In town

LYRICS
Don’t look back

If you’re out… out in the lead
It’s quite likely you’ll succeed
Just…
Don’t look back
No, don’t look back

Stay in focus with the coarse
Of coarse, they’re is nothing that you need

Don’t look back

Through the finish line and beyond
We’ll land in the humane human land

Don’t look back

LYRICS
Not behind your behind
I want to face your face

Just catching the tail end of the tale’s end
What message do we send
Just wishing the ail end of the whale’s end
Our savage we do send

Not behind your behind
I want to trace your face
Not behind the behind
W ant to pace the race

But, I feel like I’m talking to your butt

Ice Storm Drops Glass Bomb.mp3

LYRICS
Glass bomb
Flash bang

Everything in sight
Splattered in white
The strangest sounds all around
Branches crashing to the ground

Glass bomb
Flash bang

Make you sit up in your bed
Cracking noise goes through your head

Glass bomb
Flash bang

Everything in sight
Icing glazed light
The strangest sounds all around
Branches crashing to the ground

Glass bomb
Flash bang

There’s panic on the sidewalk
There’s panic on the street
Lack of ‘lectric all the talk
If only we could meet

Glass bomb
Flash bang

Just sitting here
Deserve nothing

LYRICS
Why is the sky blue
And the grass green

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

Is the blue seen by you
The same as seen
In my scene

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

Does the truth hold true
All living being

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E E+F#
D

This song is about philosophy and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Remarks on Colour (German: Bemerkungen über die Farben) is a collection of notes by Ludwig Wittgenstein on Goethe’s Theory of Colours. The work consists of Wittgenstein’s reactions to Goethe’s thinking, and an attempt to clarify the use of language about colour. Believing that philosophical puzzles about colour can only be resolved through attention to the involved language-games, Wittgenstein distinguishes between the science of optics, as developed by Newton, and Goethe’s phenomenology of colour, remarking that:
“Goethe’s theory of the origin of the spectrum isn’t a theory of its origin that has proved unsatisfactory; it is really not a theory at all. Nothing can be predicted by means of it. It is, rather, a vague schematic outline, of the sort we find in James’s psychology. There is no experimentum crucis for Goethe’s theory of colour.”
