"Dream, beyond Dreams, beyond life, you will find your song. Before sound, to be found, close your eyes, and, rise. Higher still, endless thrill, to the land... of... love. Beyond love, come alive, angel eye, forever watching you and I, You are the night you are the ocean, you are the light behind the clouds, you are the end and the beginning, a world where time is not allowed. There's no such thing as competition, to find a way we'll lose control, remember love's our only mission, this is the journey of the soul. The perfect song is framed with silence, it speaks of places never seen, your home's a promise long forgotten, it is the birthplace of your dreams."

If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?

Ive been obsessed with the Beatles lately. This song is about how humanity’s potential for Love lays dormant and how we’re conditioned by society to desire the wrong things. George Harrison was also inspired by the Tao Te Ching when writing it.

I’ve really enjoyed this thread and found this forum through searching for “songs about enlightenment”. I decided to join as I decided to google after listening to Lifehouse’s “No name face” album today after many years and realising how enlightened it is. 
 

Jason Wade who wrote most of the songs (when he was 15 - obviously has been here before many times) said this about writing the hit song “Hanging by a moment”:

 

”Writing that song was a stream-of-consciousness where the words were there, the melodies were there, the bridge was there and it was complete in 10 minutes,” he said. “I was like an antenna pulling something down that was already out there. It’s a really crazy feeling.”

 

There are so many great songs on the album with my favourite being Everything, Breathing and Hanging by a Moment. Cling and clatter is good too. He mentions multiple times that it feels like he’s in a dream, in an in between place that the worlds not real.
