about
This song is inspired from Paul Bloom's 2010 book called, "How Pleasure Works". Bloom writes about the idea that humans have an impulse for the transcendent among many other stories and studies about how we experience pleasures like food, sex, shopping and the arts.
lyrics
You, hunger for, what they call, the numinous
Moved, you are closer, all is golden, you are whole, and
Deep deep deep, deep deep deep, nature of things
More than what, what what what, we can perceive
Deep deep deep, deep deep deep, nature of things
Hidden den, den den den, reality
You will, never know, if it’s real, or in your mind
This, doesn’t matter, a placebo, will do the trick, so
Deep deep deep, deep deep deep, nature of things
More than what, what what what, we can perceive
Deep deep deep, deep deep deep, nature of things
Hidden den, den den den, reality
In your mind,
You feel closer,
To the source of,
All that’s ordered
In your mind,
In your mind,
In your mind,
You are closer
You are in awe of its great command
The numinous you rely on
You will emerge in a different land
The numinous pulls you through and
You want
To have visions of flight
You want
The true nature of things
You want
A connection with light
You want
the true nature of things
You want
To get close with the far
You want
The true nature of things
You want
To see behind the stars
You want
The true nature of things
