All THE upside-down, inside-out, other-way-round thinking of the secret societies, all that is bizarre and mind-bending in what follows stems from the belief that mind preceded matter. We have almost no evidence to go on when we decide what we believe happened at the beginning of time, but the choice we make has massive implications for our understanding of the way the world works.
Awake on my airplane,
awake on my airplane –
I feel so real
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it, feel it
Don’t know where your eyes are
But they’re not doin’ what you said
Don’t know where your mind is baby
But you’re better off without it
Inside down and upside out
And you can feel it
Don’t stop
Can’t stop
Until you feel it goin’ down
I wish I had said the things
you thought that I had said
Gravity’s just a habit that you’re
pretty sure you can’t break
What’s that riding on your everything?
It isn’t anything at all
I’m overcoming gravity
I’m overcoming gravity
So when you met the new you
Were you scared?
Were you cold?
Were you kind?
I feel like a newborn –
And I feel like a newborn
Yeah when you met the new you
Did someone die inside?
Looks like it’s time to decide
Are you here?
Are you now?
Is this it?
All of those selves that you tried
Wasn’t one of ’em good enough?
Before the earth was round,
there was no end to things –
And no one tried to measure
what they knew
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet –
I want to go back to sleep
