Sailing

I was ment to go down under the ice to save people from a submarine that had got cought on something
But as i went into the water my body dissolved
I woke up in a mental institution
People where running around all over the place
Hard to say what was going on
It was so hard a rock grew from the pit in my heart
And i spit it out, made a fancy necklace of it, a thousand years ago
I held on to that necklace as i fell and skid rapidly down the mountain on banana peels
My fot was caught in the grinder
So i had to stop working the kitchens down under
Some dude told me something, but none of it mattered
None of it
So i made myself an instrument that can play the world like any other instrument kan play people
And i played the world and it swayed to my fancy, moved to my rhytmn
But i got bored so i smashed my instrument and forgot all about it
I even had the idea to be born again, dont really know why
So i was born again and again and again in a repeating cycle
And i started keeping track of time, for some strange reason
My arms became ropes
My head became an enormous machine
The legs where put into theyre sockets like giant bolts
And there was a jolt of energy
Vision flared before me and shapes of walls and trees, beautiful and horrid people, rushed everywhich way before my eyes

To be honest, i dont think i understood how long this would keep on roling, this wheel of life
To be perfectly honest
To be perfectly honest, i forgot what kind of decision it was that got this wheel turning
I guess it was a good one, i just cant seem to remember
I just cant seem to figure it out

As the wheel keep on turning my interpretation keep on turning
Every time it moves a wave of change washes over the world
New things are washed ashore
Old things are washed away to sea
The skin and texture of people will have changed with the wave
"Oh i see" i say to myself every time it happens
"Oh i see, so this is what its like? This is the world of the mortals, this is their joys and their toils."
And then again im wrong cause there is always another wave
And what ever i understood before is washed out to sea again
Only rough shapes of my former interpretation remain
A new era begins, im born again
And then on with it
The whole thing
Out of the hole
Into the cold
Fight to survive
Fight to regain a shred of sanity
Fight in order not to succumb to the lies
In this temporary bullshit state called "civilsation"
The idea of calling 6.000 years of violence "civilisation" calls for laughter
Its nothing short of fascism and genocide in a repeating cycle
Stop this wheel from turning
See through the lies

I was flushed down the toilette
Crawled unto a wide stretch of beach
I was supposed to be a real person again
Not some interchangeable cog in a machine
I was supposed to exist for real
In a place without civilisation
In a place far from bombs and dollars, oil and banks
Far from mass media bullshit carrousell
Far from the throbbing insanity
