Lyrics
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hey. Could we do that again?
I know we haven't met, but
I don't want to be an ant,
You know?
I mean,
It's like we go through life
Continuously on ant auto-pilot
With nothing really human
Required of us.
Stop. Go.
Walk here. Drive there.
All action basically for survival.
All communication simply
To keep this ant colony
Buzzing along in an efficient
Polite manner.
"Here's your change."
I don't want a straw,
I want real human moments.
I want to see you.
I want you to see me.
I don't want to give that up.
I want to see you.
I want you to see me.
Yeah. Yeah, no.
I don't want to be an ant either.
Heh. Yeah, thanks for
Kind of jostling me there.
I've been kind of on
Zombie auto-pilot lately,
I don't feel like an ant
In my head, but I guess
I probably look like one.
It's kind of like D.H. Lawrence
Hadthis idea of two people
Meeting on a road.
And instead of just passing
And glancing away, they decide
To accept what he calls
"The confrontation
Between their souls."
It's like, um, freeing
The brave reckless gods
Within us all.
Then it's like we have met.
So it has a lot to do
With choices and honoring
People's ability
To say what it is
That they wanna see,
And also consumerism
And art and commodity,
And if you don't like what you got,
Then you can send it back,
Or you get what you pay for,
Or just participating,
Just really making choices.
So, you wanna do it?
Uh, yeah, yeah,
That sounds really cool.
I'd love to be in it, but, um ...
Uh, I kind of gotta
Ask you a question first though.
I don't really know how to say it,
But, um, uh, what's it like
To be a character in a dream?
'Cause, uh, I'm
Not awake right now.
And I haven't even worn
A watch since, like, fourth grade.
I think this is the same watch too.
Um, uh, yeah, I don't even know
If you're able to answer
That question, but I'm just trying
To get like a sense of
Where I am and what's going on.
So what about you?
What's your name?
What's your address?
What are you doing?
I, I, you know,
I can't really
Remember right now.
I can't really,
I can't really recall that. But that's beside the point,
Whether or not
I can dredge up
This information about,
You know, my address, or,
You know, my mom's maiden name,
Or whatnot.
I've got the benefit in this reality,
If you wanna call that,
Of a consistent perspective.
What is your
Consistent perspective?
It's mostly just me
Dealing with a lot of people
Who are exposing me
To information and ideas
That seem vaguely familiar,
But, at the same time,
It's all very alien to me.
I'm not in an objective,
Rational world.
Like I've been flying around.
Uh ... I don't know.
It's weird too because
It's not like a fixed state,
It's more like this
Whole spectrum of awareness.
Like the lucidity wavers.
Like, right now, I know
That I'm dreaming, right?
We're, like, even talking about it.
This is the most in myself
And in my thoughts
That I've been so far.
I'm talking about
Being in a dream.
But, I'm beginning to think
That it's something
That I don't really have
Any precedent for.
It's, it's totally unique.
The, the quality of,
Of the environment
And the information
That I'm receiving.
Receiving...
