As McGilchrist argues, the Renaissance was a time when the two rival hemispheres came together briefly, that is, they “integrated,” and formed a creative union that produced remarkable works of art and architecture.
I’m blown to the maxim –
Two hemispheres battlin’
My life, my love, my drive it came from
Pain!
In the latest midnight hour,
when the world has gone to sleep,
you gotta get up
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
You want a revolution behind your eyes?
We got to get up and organize
The child is grown,
the dream is gone
I Wanna Stop.
We can’t.
Suckin’ up, one last breath –
Take a drag, off of death
I want so much to open your eyes,
’cause I need you to look into mine
Look me in the eyes,
tell me what you see
Let ’em say we’re crazy –
What do they know?
You who choose to lead must follow,
but if you fall, you fall alone
I waited longer ’cause I needed proof
that every door I shut is leading me to you
Over and in, last call for sin –
While everyone’s lost, the battle is won,
with all these things that I’ve done
When doubts begin to rise,
and the world is at your feet,
you gotta get up
