letra de structure - fred nagel

our pattern-loving minds yearn for the satisfaction of predictability. patterns help us feel secure, as if to be part of a rational world which we can control. but mysteriously, we keep filling the gaps with as many new patterns as we possibly can. as a result we’ve shaped an environment that is so complicated that we struggle to fit in

as we rise, the morning air is cold and grey
see the darkness glow
as we rise, the morning birds are at play
announcers of the dawn
as we rise, the atmosphere now changes hue
too slow to notice
east from here, the sun is coming to renew
now the sunlight touches the dew

and the wonder of day and night continues
that baffled the mind for all time
and the same sun that broke the horizon
set structure to all before mine

the morning has arrived, the cycle is revived

as we rise, the sun exposes where we left off
where we gave up yesterday
in the distance the roads are wailing under strain
as the masses make their way
if we rise, do we expect that anything would change?
do we hope for god?
do we take things in grips to return them to the way we thought they’re meant
or do we leave it in the rain to decay?
i don’t know which way we should go
i don’t think anyone else does
should we hope for divine intervention
or are we fine?

as we rise, do we fit the system that we designed
or are we shining lights in our own eyes?
it’s difficult to ignore the fact that we built this mould and that our systems and structures are failing
now all that’s left is waiting patiently for somebody to figure it out for our sake and bring us rules and regulations
binding us to what’s right
shielding us from destruction
or preventing us to take flight?

of the structures that lead to confusion is merely a system of layering all
