Cogito by Eleftherios Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think, therefore, I am. Do we truly comprehend the nature of man?
And do animalistic perceptions bare any kind of resemblance to our own? Is there any way of knowing?
Yes, we possess the power of language, but are they beyond our understanding? And mocking us for our ignorance? Are we primitive; nature’s delinquents?
Are we merely bound slaves in Plato’s cave, only to see the shadow that is cast by the flame?
How can one group ever place blame on another person?
I feel like the King of Persia: one man’s meat is another man’s murder. Whether you wanna be naked, or in a Burka;
Reasons for both are heard of and the way in which they're produced is protected. The way in which they're projected is always, by no doubt affected by the society at the time
Who is to say what is sublime? Is it pious as the Gods love it? Or do the Gods love it as it is pious?
Who's to decide what's wrong & who's to decide what right is?
It frightens me but leaves me in awe, makes me appreciate the world more
I search for answers but get none
Cogito Ergo Sum. I think therefore I am. Cogito Ergo Sum. I think therefore I am
[Verse 2]
Now I drift through the stratosphere of thought and I'm struck with fear of sorts
I cast my mind to divinity & infinity. Can it be broken down to a trinity?
What if the 'reality' in which we live is, in actuality, a really big, manufactured, elaborate scheme to keep us all trapped in a dream, and of course, us all enslaved! What if we are merely brains sitting in a vat? Laboratory rats subject to experimental procedures by an evil scientist, what happens when he frees us?
“Ha! Fucking absurd” The most absurd thing you’ve ever heard? Before you let your face contort, perhaps you should give this a second thought: think about the reasons that I say this;
What if the technology needed for the matrix, was made in our lifetimes? Now we’re stuck in it and
It enslaves our minds? I think you will find, can’t prove this wrong. Can’t prove it right...
That’s the point of the song
[Bridge]
