Eventually
Everything that you
Think you know
Will dissipate and
Dissappear into the ether
The same goes for everything
That you believe you believe
Or think that you believe
Eventually, it will not be what
It is right now in this moment
So ask yourself questions
What, who, and when am I
Clinging to these perceptions
Also, how, and why?
The most significant being
WHY?
Does whatever (X)
Have meaning now?
When eventually it won’t
Because eventually
“You” won’t be here
At least not in the form
That holds your
Individual consciousness
That at this moment
Deciphers meaning
If you choose to assign it
What you want it to “mean”
No objective perspective
Will concur collectively
Save some reassuring
Glad-handing of some sort
Is “reality” reality or
The “dreams” of reality “reality”
Perhaps reality is just a dream
Just woke up from a “dream”
That seemed “real”
Who is to say it was or wasn’t
Either way, it resolved
An “awake” issue that
Needed to be solved
Eventually making
Similar problems go away
So, eventually, I can meld
Back as one with the
Collective consciousness
Until such non-existent time
I choose another athropomorphic
Subjective perspective to have
Experiences I decide to experience
“Infinite Dreams”
“Infinite dreams, I can’t deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn’t hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams
Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
Someone chasing, I can not move
Standing rigid, a nightmare’s statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?
Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It’s getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep.
Even though it’s reached new heights
I’d rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder, it makes me think
There’s more to this. I’m on the brink
It’s not the fear of what’s beyond
It’s just that I might not respond
I have an interest, almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?
Can’t all be coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you’re an unbeliever
Spiritualists? Well, me, I’m neither
Wouldn’t you like to know
The truth?
Oh, what’s out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You’re on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?
Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself, even within my dreams
There’s got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I’d like to think that when I die
I’d get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.”
– Iron Maiden
Word bless Iron Maiden for
Iron Maiden’s words have blessed me
“The phantoms
Of our imagination
Are as real as the
Beliefs in our brain”
