Текст пісні
Over four billion years since the earth's creation
Caught in the time warp of civilization
From the outside looks like we're making progress
Cell phones, A I, but what has that brought us
But clustered and amplified rage
Misinformation over intelligent exchange
Talkin' past each other, brother to mother
Fragile people watchin' TV without color
To binary views passed through the generations
Anchored in fear and blind to the gray race of
Blended minds, united behind a time
For us to pause, stare up and the sky, then rewind
To the better angels of our nature
Embracing all mankind, equal and neighbor
But we won't, cause for some to win, others must fall
A narrative unleashed through meta assault
As we labor under the illusion of freedom
Do as I say and not as he does
Or load sixteen tons, the days and years run, in place
Frozen when perspective comes
All this got me agitated, I'm done
More like Habilis than the next generation
Time stands still
Wait a minute now
Time stands still
Make this moment, our fate is ever growin' now
Time stands still
Wait a minute now
Time stands still
Avoid excessive use
How can we be the change in the face of ego
Rally to the day and let rationality reign
Incubate the future in vivo, make trouble to be so vain
A solipsist universe wanes to entropy
In the cold dark of modern man, struggle for meaning
And there is none but the absurd
And the joy and peace we can bring one another
If we choose to be faux, free flow, discover
Insignificance in the vast ocean of time
Humbled by the deep black chasm that rides
On the solar winds to distant worlds won
Eons past the voices turned to dust
Life force wasted, slow our upward potential
Quiz time, follow this rhyme; times up, drop ya pencil
And seek perspective out in the heavens
Our technology grows in the face of dissension
Ah my bad, I failed to mention
Time stands still
Wait a minute now
Time stands still
Make this moment, our fate is ever growin' now
Time stands still
Wait a minute now
Time stands still
Avoid excessive use
Paradoxically found to progress as we age
To stifle the rage of wisdom lost in feeble hands
Suffer the plans, adrift in irrelevance made
Hourglass heavy at the base
No longer recognize the face
In the mirror, reflecting ya earlier self
Losing a hard grip on the rebel yell
Gravity shapes the cosmological realm
Strong hands wane, turned in on oneself
Passing the torch, our future in them
Purpose held, then lost to the gravity well
Trivial in the vast, moving, fabric of space
Defines our place, fragile and alive
Stand still with time by my side
