Songs Written About Enlightenment

[Pateedm]

Somethin about instrumentals... Sounds like it came straight from the Universe's Soul

The moment I realize that I wrote this I will cry tears of joy

this song might as well be about an insane lsd trip 

[Nahm]

 

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?

You say “one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, and we get to share it.
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it”.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.

Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.

One.

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me Nothing, now it's all I got.

We're One, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love’s a higher law,
Love is a temple, Love’s the higher law.

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl,
and I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, One blood, One life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other.

Carry each other.
One.

You too. 

[Nahm]

Crazy, crazy, does, does, does is crazy.
Crazy make up for adjustment.

Just like you, you jammin' on the verse.
First one's planned, that you want to do.

All I want is 
But I don't need you. 

(everybody gotta say)
All I want is
But I don't need you.

Reggie Watts, “I just want to”, theme of the Key & Peel show.

 

 

“Three things can not be long hidden, the sun, the moon, and the Truth”. 

Buddha

[Nahm]

Smile and the world smile with you, cry and you cry alone. 

 

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
spent all my money, didn't have any care.
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time,
bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it 'til that old eagle grins.
 

Be cause 

Nobody knows you,when you're down and out.

In your pocket, not one penny,
and as for friends... you won’t have many.

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend.
I said it’s strange without any doubt -
nobody knows you when you're down and out.

Oh, nobody knows you
when you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
and as for friends, you won’t have many.

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend.
I set it straight without any doubt,
Nobody knows you...
Nobody knows you - 
Nobody knows you!

When you are, ‘down and out’.

 

 

[Nahm]

 

There is a hero, if you look inside your heart,
you don't have to be afraid of what you are.

There is an answer if you reach into your soul.
The sorrow that you know melts away, and a hero comes along.

With the strength to carry on,
you cast your fears aside,
and you know you can survive.

So when you feel like hope is gone,
look inside you and be strong!
You'll finally see the truth,
that a hero lies in you!

It's a long road,
and you face the world alone.
No one reaches out a hand,
for you to hold.

You can find love if you search within yourself,
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

The hero comes along as the strength to carry on,
as you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive.

So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong.
You’ll finally see the truth - that the hero lies in you!

Lord Knows Dreams are hard to follow,
but don't let anyone tear them away. 

Hold on!
There will be tomorrow!
In time, you find the way!

A beautiful song called "Kesäyö" (A Summer Night)

My poor translation:

I sat in the twilight
A moment began which felt like it would never end
For a second silence arrived like a being (creature)
and shouted "do not fear the world!"
We sat together for a while
and the space stared at us

And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces
And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces

I wake up at a beach
it's a night brighter than a day
points of light in the sky
sliding into morning
I have forgotten
from where I have come here
I veil into a robe of oblivion
Still I remember ships
flown over the horizon

And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces
And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces

I sit in the twilight
still waiting for a moment that never ends
Silence would arrive
and tell me everything will ultimately disappear
I see the lights in the sky
cold shivers run along my back

And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces
And outside, a summer night
Tears rained on the faces

Don't know if it's about enlightenment but I must say it tickles me in a funny way.

[Nahm]

 

We get out of this fight,
you gonna help me wrap my hands.

Stitching up my eyes,
you know blood can blind.

And them was big old boys,
had fists like cinder and stone.

I dodge a blade on the dime,
and they was out to cut my throat.

It's a lot, It's a mark, they're gonna press down on you.
It's a haze on my head, must've been hit too hard, off guard,
I think I'm gonna be it tonight.

If there's one way out,
it's to swing my way through the crowd.

Is there a blanket of pain,
that I can wrap up in?

You've got a hold of me now,
hey that's a helluva grip.

And I admit I was tight,
and you could say I was pissing gin.

It's hard to see even if I close my eyes!
It's fifteen degrees I'm gonna sleep outside!

Cos I got no way to feel

and no way to write
 

I'm busted

laid up,

and dry...

 

but you should’ve seen the other guy.

Dust in the wind. I love this song! It helps me in all life situations. All we are is dust in the wind. Everything is dust in the wind.

 

 

[Hulia]

Fools Garden. Completey underestimated. I don´t understand why. They have a lot of great songs besides "Lemon Tree"

Oh lordy
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

Went down the hill
The other day
My soul got happy
And stayed all day
