In experiment in broken symmetry.
An Experiment in Dynamics and Emergence
As is the case with most historical accounts... they are static and I don't commit to them. This project is a representation of my experimentation with dynamics and emergence.
Story behind the song
If a system that requires static symmetry encounters broken symmetry (coincidence), woud it not adjust to try to regain symmetry? Would it not simply be more efficient to regard 'motion' as 'adjustment'?
Lyrics
VERSE 1
I'm... letting go of your embrace
- as your light begins to fade.
And, the darkness hides your face.
You defined... destiny.
I was the shadow of your memory.
All this time... I believed
- in the things you said I had to be.
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
VERSE 2
Onceaa‚¬Â¦ I was young and vain.
I was proud... to wear your chains
- played a part in your crusade.
I have fought... for your dreams.
But now, we're all out of victories.
I was caught... in your scheme.
It was the truth that set me free.
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE (Guitar Solo)
PRE-CHORUS
I have seen through your eyes
- reflections... made me blind.
For a moment, I became the lie.
I didn't want to say goodbye.
CHORUS
Now, it seems like I've always tried
- to take my place in your design.
But, your story had its sacrifice.
I felt the pain... and closed my eyes.
I was fooled by your paradise.
But, now I know that I'm not alive.
In the end we must look inside
- and let the mirror's image die.
CENTER SECTION
VERSE 3
My... intentions find their way
- to the future's yesterday.
Only I decide what I've saved.
Without eyes... I have seen
- the answer to your mystery.
I've replied... with my dreams.
I'm sending you my memories.
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS COMBINED
I have seen through your eyes
- reflections... made me blind.
For a moment, I became the lie.
I didn't want to say goodbye.
Now, it seems like I've always tried
- to take my place in your design.
But, your story had its sacrifice.
I felt the pain... and closed my eyes.
I was fooled by your paradise.
But, now I know that I'm not alive.
In the end we must look inside
- and let the mirror's image...
Great tune! Excellent performance!
