The Dream Weaver: Mimetic

SLOW AWAKENING, CONFINED TO A BODY, SO LIMITED
NOTIONS REGRESSED, YOU CONTEST, REJECT ACTUALITY
WHEN IS IT TIME TO WAKE, WHEN IS IT TIME TO DREAM
COALESCE YOUR THOUGHTS INTO REALITY
WITH NO CONSEQUENCE THERE’S NO LIABILITY

YOUR THOUGHTS SEEPING THROUGH,
CO-EXISTENCE EQUALS TWO LIVES LIVED INSIDE YOU
BEING MIMETIC IS YOUR TRUTH
WAKING DOESN'T SUIT, YOU DREAM, YOU LIVE UNTIL IT’S THROUGH
WHO’S TO SAY THIS ISN'T TRUTH? YOU’LL DREAM, YOU’LL LIVE UNTIL IT’S FINISHED

YOU SEARCH FOR TRUTH WITHIN YOU BUT THERE’S NO PROMISE YOU’LL FIND IT THERE
YOU MANIFEST AND CREATE TO OVERCOME IT, THAT’S HOW YOU LIVE (ARE YOU AWAKE?)
HOW DO WE LIVE? WE JUST MAKE BELIEVE
IT’S ALL MIMETIC, WE JUST MAKE BELIEVE

YOUR THOUGHTS FORCING THROUGH
YOU LIVE PARALLEL TO TRUTH
FICTION IS VERITY
THROUGH YOUR MIMESIS YOU EXIST
YOUR THOUGHTS SEEPING THROUGH,
CO-EXISTENCE EQUALS TWO LIVES LIVED INSIDE YOU
BEING MIMETIC IS YOUR WAY
YOU’RE MIMETIC, IT’S ALL MIMETIC




This song, in a nutshell, is about people struggling to cope with reality and creating a parallel fictional reality for themselves in order to get through. Mimetic is describing them living in reality but having their minds wander to something that makes life more palatable
