Opening LyricsReincarnation Lyrics

We are living our lives Abound with so much information Come on, let go of the remote; don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in? I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go, but it's no use; hey, I'm being consumed Loading loading loading, quickly reaching maximum capacity Warning warning warning, gonna short-circuit my identity (ahhhhh) Get up on your feet, tear down the walls Catch a glimpse of the hollow world Snooping 'round will get you nowhere You're locked up in your mind We're all trapped in a maze of relationships Life goes on with or without you I swim in the sea of the unconscious I search for your heart, pursuing my true self

We are living our lives Abound with so much information Come on, let go of the remote don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in? I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go, but it's no use hey, I'm being consumed Loading loading loading, quickly reaching maximum capacity Warning warning warning, gonna short-circuit my identity (ahhhhh) Get up on your feet, tear down the walls Catch a glimpse of the hollow world Snooping 'round will get you nowhere You're locked up in your mind We're all trapped in a maze of relationships Life goes on with or without you I swim in the sea of the unconscious I search for your heart, pursuing my true self Get up, Get up, it's time to get real Can't control the steering wheel, outside is in a veil Of mystery Won't get out so easily We are living our lives, and we realize what's happening Hey Brother, watch yourself Grab you things, Don't miss your chance Find your own rhythm And dance your own dance Be creative Chart your course You must know what lies ahead Driving through the deep end of the ocean Leaving obscurity You are standing in the middle of another world It's hard to feel your real emotions You are smiling in a shirt wet with bitter tears Let me help you find a place to call it home We're all trapped in a maze of relationships Life goes on with or without you I swim in the sea of the unconscious I search for your heart, pursuing my true self
