Mysterium Tremens

by Westerner

about

Opening with a mesmeric, eastern-influenced guitar hook, the song dips into meditative lyrics in the verse. After thundering through a Led Zeppelin inspired bridge it closes with a foot-stomping guitar-led outro.

This was one that we didn't really know what we were writing about until it was finished. Which makes sense since the song is really about the mystery of those higher states or beings that we wish we could reach more often.

lyrics

I am a brain in a box
Having thoughts of my thoughts
I feel my muscles move
Just like a tiger’s do

All the fish inside me
Are swimming peacefully
I hear geometry
In every harmony

January comes in
Just like an inhalation
Then June is exhaled out
Then it comes back around

The serpent and the moon
Revolve but never move
Always in the womb
Turning inside you

Every morning I wake up
Flip on the six o’clock news
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon

Every painting has a frame
Every actor has a stage
Every story has a page
The dreamer is awake

One eye is sleeping fast
It is a looking glass
Alice never left
She likes to reflect

Every morning I wake up
Flip on the six o’clock news
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon

Every morning I wake up
Slip into my shoes
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon

Every morning I wake up
Take a look at the room
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon
