about

This song is the first song I ever released. It's a 2-chord song. It is a tragic-romantic look at living in the present - Seeing and accepting things as they really are and not how we would like them to be.

It explores the concept of Dharma- the law of being and contrasts the cosmic force called 'love' with energy & matter.

lyrics

You’ve got to try...babe
No reasons why...babe but
You’ve got to try and lose your mind

Only time…
Or jealous eyes
A cosmic kiss
To help you through the nights

Do you dream of me like I dream of you?
Do you see me in the corners of your room?
Do we have to hold on to what we have inside?
Or do we have to hide?

Subjective mind, objective mind
Sense of ‘my’, egocentric I’s
Hold on to this life
Hold on to this life

Lie awake in search of some recourse and look for brighter days
Think of you, this love, this love of yours a sweet charade
Lie awake in search of some remorse and save my severed heart
Think of you, this love, this love of yours my Scherezade, but
There is no hope…at all!
Expectations of you have got to fall

That’s the law
Dharma, loosely translated as duty, righteousness, religious code

That’s the law

Charity, from the root ‘dhar’, to uphold, to sustain
That’s the law
The law of being. That which makes a thing or being what it is
That’s the law

Won’t live in shadows of the past my haunted friends
Nor unborn moments yet to come
(That's tomorrow!)

I’m living now
In this present state of mind
Impressions left behind
And the future ain’t my style

That’s the law
That’s the law

The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love

And if it ain’t true for you
And if it ain’t true for you
You ain't my kind!

Just a passing breeze
Through the secret garden in my mind

Get up…did you let your heart decide?
Take your book, your coat and leave my side
Walk out that door and never…never look behind
Never look behind

The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love
E=mc2 but...
The purpose of existence is to be in love
