Songs Written About Enlightenment

[Frenk]

This song reminds me the day we separated from God. And God is reminding us that he's always here. Beautiful.

Hear the wind sings a sad old song
It knows I'm leaving you today
Please don't cry oh my heart will break
When I go on my way

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you remember me
I'll never be too far

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams 'til I
Come back to you

See the stars in the skies above
They'll shine wherever I may roam
I will pray every lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you remember me
I'll never be too far

Goodbye, my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams 'til I
Come back to you

God:

Sun touches my skin
Warmth surrounds my body
You make me feel nothing
You make me feel nothing

Individual:

The same sky is above us
But I feel so cold

 

If I had my own world
I'd fill it with love and desire
I wanted the glorious past you admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
Birds, planes, trees and cars

If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots,
There'd be no more faiths, packed parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off,

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farlands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's families,
Friends or it's enemies

Let's make this a new world

I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean musical,
God's greatest miracle

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the farmlands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

[Grateful Dead]

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving in ice, petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

[The0Self]

Let me disarm you
I'm not trying to own you
I just want to know what it feels like
To have your body so close

Let me absolve you
Of the past that controls you
I just want to know what you look like
Without a weight on your soul

I know somewhere we could get away
If you want to find another place, like
Disappear and never leave a trace
I'll take you anywhere you want

So let me disarm you
There's an army I'm finding around your heart
Let me disarm you
'Cause baby I just want to love who you really are
Who you really are

So let me disarm you
So let me disarm you

Spoken in silence
Plays in like sirens
I can bring you out of the darkness
Into the fiery light

I know somewhere we could get away
If you want to find another place, like
Disappear and never leave a trace
I'll take you anywhere you want

So let me disarm you
There's an army I'm finding around your heart
Let me disarm you
'Cause baby I just want to love who you really are
Who you really are

 

Something's wrong, but I don't know what
Wondering how, with all the things I've got
Life is good, but the pain don't stop
'Cause I'm holding on, so I give it up

Cheer up, cheer up (cheer up), put a smile on your face
Wake up, wake up (wake up), take me out of this place
Rise up, rise up (rise up), we are the human race
Cheer up, cheer up (cheer up), put a smile on your face

"So if you really go the whole way and see how you feel at the prospect of vanishing forever."
"Have all your efforts, and all your achievements, and all your attainments turning into dust and nothingness."
"What is the feeling? What happens to you?"
"It's a curious thing, that in the worlds poetry, this is a very common theme."
"The earthly hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes - or it prospers, and anon, like snow upon the desert's dusty face lighting a little hour or two - is gone (is gone...)."

Something's wrong, but I don't know what
Wondering how, with all the things I've got
Life is good, but the pain don't stop
'Cause I'm holding on, so I give it up

Something's wrong (something's wrong), but I don't know what
Wondering how (wondering how), with all the things I've got
Life is good (life is good), but the pain don't stop
'Cause I'm holding on (holding on), so I give it up

"So in this way, by seeing that nothingness is the fundamental reality, and you see it's your reality, then how can anything contaminate you (contaminate you...)?"
"All the idea of you're being scared and put out and worried and so on, is just nothing, it's a dream (it's a dream)."
"Because you're really nothing. (Because you're really nothing.) So cheer up! (So cheer up!)"

Cheer up, cheer up (cheer up), put a smile on your face
Wake up, wake up (wake up), take me out of this place
Rise up, rise up (rise up), we are the human race
Cheer up, cheer up (cheer up), put a smile on your face

"All the sun and the stars and the mountains, and rivers, and the good men and bad men, and the animals, and the insects; the whole bit."
"All are contained in void."
"So out of this void comes everything and you are it."
"What else could you be? (What else could you be?)"
"But if somebody is going to argue that the basic reality is nothingness, where does all this come from? (Where does all this come from?)"
"Obviously from nothingness, hehe (hehe)."

Excerpts from Song of the Enchanting Wildwoods

Now that I’ve seen the plague of conceptual thinking, I’m off to live in the unborn peace of the wildwoods.

The busy cities are bonfires of desire.

Every being in existence is threatened by affliction and totally bound by terrifying chains of duality.

Since beings prefer to believe that the Buddhas have taught that they should do only what they like, and nothing else, when I teach the real dharma way, everyone reviles me like an enemy.

Seeing all this, since I aim to accomplish the benefit of beings, I can’t stay, I won’t stay. I’m going to the wildwoods.

If you aren’t also wealthy, everyone just reviles and ignores you.

Those practicing the dharma path are as rare as a supernova.

Even if you spend this life in introspection, it passes so quickly, without pausing, day or night. Having seen that laziness always gets the better of my virtue and that this mind won’t settle, even a little, I’m off to the wildwoods right now.

Even savoring my desires, I never feel content.

This mind is addicted to desire.

I’m done following the desire highway. Oh dear heart, we can do it; let’s abandon these desires and get to the wildwoods.

I’m going to the wildwoods where you, dear mind, will realize lasting happiness.

Oh mind, dismiss these preoccupations that are of no help to yourself, and no help to others.

Whatever I conceive of is impermanent and meaningless.

All the dharma collections, the sage has taught, come down to giving up desires, and settling evenly in the peaceful truth, nothing else. Oh mind, consider your mortality and be intent to go to the wildwoods.

Intellectually understanding phenomena’s nature, and leaving them as mere objects of mindfulness, is no help.

The wilds naturally entail few distractions and obligations, and are free from the suffering of anxiety and adversity. So today, be happy; go to the peaceful wildwoods, which far surpass the joys of the cities.

Among the wish-fulfilling trees, the trees sway, dancing back and forth, back and forth; and the tips of their branches bow, as if lovingly welcoming guests, saying, "We’re glad you’ve come."

In the woods, the mind is tame as it conforms to the true dharma, and one can find the bliss of inner peace; in short, the charms of the wildwoods are endless.

You will sustain yourself with the bare necessities, such as water, kindling, and fruit; and have the space to apply yourself, day and night, to what is wholesome. There, inspired by the turning of the leaves, you realize with certainty that beauty, health, and various abilities all gradually change, that they lack solidity, what is called the diminishing of one’s assets. There, inspired by the falling of the leaves, you realize with certainty, that friends, strangers, and even your own body, are such that they separate, even if they are together now, for the moment, what is called the reality of loss.

What is called the exhaustion of what is amassed.

What is called the arrival of the Lord of Death.

What is called what is born is bound to die.

Reflections of the moonlight in water, what is called empty of true existence.

Cultivate concern with needs of beings.

Don’t dwell on the past, or fantasize about the future. Don’t engineer this natural, ongoing presence. Don’t direct the mind or draw it within. Just let it settle, without distraction, resting without grasping, or conceptually structuring this clarity that is vivid, quiet, lucid, illuminating.

There is nothing you need to contemplate.

Cultivate your appreciation of impermanence and death. Conditioned things have no attainable essence, and are rife with problems.

Let everything be within the equality of the spiritual dimension of space.

Don’t affirm or reject anything.

You needn’t think about anything other than the needs of beings.

The Lord of Death is drawing ever nearer, and I have no power to send him back, so quickly, quickly, I’m off to meditate in the wildwoods.

A real practitioner will have nothing to fear of death.

It won’t be long before everyone, everything, and I will be gone; this is certain to come to pass.

Fearlessly discover great joy in the face of death. The cause of their joy is exactly life in the wilds.

This message, spoken for your benefit, came straight from the heart. Mind, take it, and head to the wildwoods.

[Brivido]

This song is all about mystic union, it reminds me of Rumi's poems.

[Javfly33]

@Nahm Oh really? Yeah she´s great! I discovered her with that song which is from his last album. She´s got more great songs in that album too!

[Nahm]

 

Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further into regression

One
The only way is one

One
The only way is one

 

 

I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind

Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end
We meet our fate together

One
The only way is one

One
The only way is one

[Nahm]

Must be your skin that I'm sinking in

Must be for real 'cause now I can feel

And I didn't mind, It's not my kind, It's not my time to wonder why

Everything's gone white and everything's grey ; now you're here, now you're away

I don't want this, remember that, I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by

Glycerin

 

I'm never alone I'm alone - I’m all the time

Are you at one or do you lie?

We live in a wheel where everyone steals, but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad - you bruise my face, couldn't love you more you got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by

Could have been easier on you - I couldn't change though I wanted to

Should I have been easier by three; our old friend fear and you and me

Glycerin

Don't let the days go by

Glycerin

 

Bad moon white again, bad moon white again

And she falls around me

 

I needed you more, you wanted us less, I could not kiss, just regress

It might just be clear, clean simple and plain

That's just fine. That's just one of my names.

Don't let the days go by

Could've been easier on you, you, you

Glycerine

[Loving Radiance]

It's the end of the road, it was a hard trip

You didn't choose the easy way

It's the end of the world, you're almost fast asleep

And all the stars say

 

Hey Judy hey, all those lights are for you

Hey Judy hey, I can't believe it's true

Hey Judy hey, all the stars look at you

Hey Judy hey, you're already somewhere new

 

You've been searching so long, a place to call your home

A place to rest and stay

You've been walking alone, they wanted you to come

And all the stars say

 

Hey Judy hey, all those lights are for you

Hey Judy hey, I can't believe it's true

Hey Judy hey, all the stars look at you

Hey Judy hey, you're already somewhere new

 

You faced the light, and you said into his eye that you would never, never, never

 

Hey Judy hey, all those lights are for you

Hey Judy hey, I can't believe it's true

Hey Judy hey, all the stars look at you

Hey Judy hey, you're already someone new

 

 

[allislove]

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive

[Nahm]

 

We've got no time to lose
Your news is old news
Hate this, hate me, hate this
Right approach for the wrong

It's time to spread the word
Let the voice be heard
All of us, one of us, all of us
Dominate and take the motherfucking world

Mass prediction, unification
Breathing life into our lungs
Every creed and every kind
To give us depth for strength

Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reign of power
Make pride universal so no one gives in
Turn our backs on those who oppose

Then when confronted we ask them the question
What's wrong with their mind?
What's wrong with your mind?
It's time to rise

We live with past mistakes
And we’ll live with our own
Forgive, forget, forgive
Be a man, not a child

There are no tears for peace
Or the common sympathies
Educate, reinstate, educate
A thing of past,
the trouble in the states
It's time to rise

[Travelion]

Diamonds from Rihanna, Especially this cover.

 

[allislove]

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
