"We gotta face it head on this time and I’m touching base with the moving inner eye,
Farewell brother, we gotta go, Got to open the mind, touch the plateau."

This sums up the meaning of the entire song pretty succinctly. It is about the willingness to go on a internalized journey through the layers of self, forgoing the traditional roles and games of society, in favour of a quest for a deeper existential meaning and transformation.

"When I journey to the base of this pain I place the blame on the one who holds my name and no-one else, deal with the cards I’ve been dealt, I’m about to follow what I’ve always felt."

"I got the spinning conspiracies evoked close to me, one mans delusion is one mans satori, well I’m feeling the third eye presence, bright luminescence, my hands are shaking with the outside essence." 

This paragraph refers most explicitly to the types of psycho-somatic experiences that result from the practices of deep contemplation: the experiencing of subtle energy, inner lights, and a feeling of ‘jacking in’ to some external force (whether it is external or internal is a matter of scholarly debate that still rages however, personally I think it is unimportant – these ‘experiences’ are fleeting, it is the flowering of consciousness which is enduring)

"Enough muse on my recent demise, we got the way and the means so we rise, consciously, into the ether. If you remain true to yourself they will be believe you."  

An emphasis is on transcending the limitations of personality and to rise into a place of authentic being.. when you believe in yourself and come from a place of authenticity, it will be immediately noticeable for others who will come to trust you.

"I hold this close to me, you gotta know I hold this close to me."

“I hold this close to me” It describes multiple things, the first is that this journey is close in the sense of proximate; it happens in the private world of personal consciousness. The second sense is that I ‘hold it close’ because I regard it as important. It is like a faith, I say ‘like’ a faith because it is not the blind faith of religion, it is so close that it feels like it is part of me, not like a god; a metaphysical other that I can never experience. In fact this closeness to it means that it colours every detail of my experience, it is there in my love, my hate, my motivations and the meaning I make for things.

"Now elevate up from a place mundane, without the pulse of fear pushing terror to my brain," 

One thing that developmental psychologist Abraham Maslow noticed is that when one makes a leap from being concerned with more simple needs like food, shelter, sex and emotional safety (what he called ‘deficiency needs’) to what he called ‘being needs’ something remarkable happens: fear drops off. 

"they can keep their backward mindset I’ll defect and show the world what I’m seeing yet."

Bringing in the assumption, which is unavoidable, that there are inferior ideologies, world-views and discourses, and this means it is incumbent on humans to promote the better ones…

"Learning to expose the lie, we are falling to another dawning I hear the warning sign as calamity clamours for popularity "

It's not easy! all the old egocentric and ethnocentric worldviews are fighting desperately, even as more harmonious, global centric approaches to human existence emerge in a tiny fraction of the worlds population. One only need look at the expansionist crusades of the neo-cons, theocratic militancy, the re-emergence of fascism in Europe, to see this struggle will be a formidable one.   

"I’m left trying to justify why I can hear the poem like a rhapsody, you can never tear down the factory, you can never know why the ghetto vibrates I contemplate placing normality. You say I want to hold this close to me, well I’m wearing these words like a rosary as we’re moving deep inside, moving into the bright white light."

although confusion and chaos predominate in our lifes, sometimes we can recognize that in the journey through the layers of our person, we are moving inexorably towards clarity, compassion and oneness, here represented as a bright, white light.

Hope you enjoy the song X


White Light

At first, influenced by old (when it used to be good) MTV, especially by trance, rock, raggae, underground. After it began it´s commercial journey, I´ve found my inspiration mostly in rock and metal, where I fell in love with the energy and fast beats it has. This was before I´ve discovered DnB, where this energy was mixed with purity of tunes, typical for trance. During that period (2003-2010) I´ve been playing piano, and later I´ve started learning playing drums. My experimentation with electronic music began in 2010 and since that I´ve made several tracks mixed genres trying to find my own style throughout the journey. As Johann Sebastian Bach, who in my view set the way the music evolved in its wholesomness like no one else in history, by producing the perfect balance of intelectualy complex tunes that could also evoke emotions and feelings at the same time - he also lived the idea that music comes from God and we are just a medium to bring it here to this world, to celebrate Him. That is and should be the main purpose of arts... regardless of from what feeling and thought each piece emerged... It's the character of life itself. We don´t wait until the song ends. We are listening to it, singing and dancing all along the way it plays.
