Description: It’s about feeling, not knowing, but yet certain of that feeling; perhaps intuition. How time glances up against you and then fills you with its presence. You’re, floating, you’re sinking and you’re not; all at the same time, yet outside of time.

about

It’s about feeling, not knowing, but yet certain of that feeling; perhaps intuition. How time glances up against you and then fills you with its presence. You’re, floating, you’re sinking and you’re not; all at the same time, yet outside of time.

lyrics

the poem:

outside you can hear
as the rumbling continues and begins
evoked from the trafficked hand of man
nature contends and begins to falter
but the life expectancy
of a clairvoyant
is potentially limitless
because attitude well attitude is everything
because attitude well attitude is nothing
it’s a slippery fish gliding through the rapids of the stream
there’s this thing called buoyancy
but it’s not always the same

neutral neither floating or sinking
when an object’s weight is equal to the fluid it displaces
when an object’s weight is equal to the fluid it displaces

positive floating at the top of the surface
when an object is lighter than the fluid it displaces
when an object is lighter than the fluid it displaces
negative sitting at the bottom
when an object is denser than the fluid it displaces
when an object is denser than the fluid it displaces
sitting at the bottom

This man named Jim knew nothing about anything
But when he felt something in his bones
he always tried to explain
down below where the fishes go
down below where the fishes swim
all the troubles in this world have sunk
and they just sitting there at the bottom
of this big whole world

the hickory nut splashes
into the water out of the blue into the blue
bobs up and down up and down
the imbas forosnai
illuminates the words
of the man named Jim
who walks away and starts starts all over again

Imbas forosnai (‘great knowledge that illuminates’) — IM-ass FOR-oss-na
