Inspired by the Platonic myth, and obviously written under the influence of prog.
Cavebound
Waiting for the formless to shape itself into reason
A colony of unfinished frames lacking in sequence
Brick and mortar nation ravaged by ebb and flow
Let intuition take the lead before the stagnant impulse takes hold
Mystify the dormant muses, harbor streams of consciousness
Replenish the fragments of thought, look beyond the obvious spectrum
Shake off the confines of the cavebound.
Interact with the future just outside of your reach
Focus on the object of greatest significance
Shift your perception, make the necessary alterations
The difficulty lies in concentrating on the issue at hand
The syndrome of diversion captures the lack of imagination
Rescinding the commitment to abstruse pursuits
Fear of the intangible is our everlasting detriment
Oblivious to the potential outside the laws of nature
And so we opt for the safety of being cavebound.
The phenomena of true belief is rare in exhibition
A devised wonderland in theory lost in the translation to practice...
Thus we remain cavebound.
The luxury of silence is exchanged for the profits of empty words
Stealing the peak of a moment in the flexible strands of memory
Compressing life's details in the shroud of casual conversation
Illuminating the soul in its transient afterglow, we lose the meaning
In the cages of repression we are cavebound.
