- Rational Gaze LyricsMusic: Fredrik Thordendal
Lyrics: Tomas Haake
Squint your eyes to see clearly. Blur reality to make
it real
Let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's
been concealed
We've all been blinded - Subjects to visual
misinformation
A systematic denial of the crystalline
To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words
The context of parallel truth - Devoid of
fragmentation
Our light-induced image of truth - Filtered blank of
its substance
As our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines
Everything examined, Separated, one thing at a time
The harder we stare the more complete the
disintegration. -Dissolution
Eyes re-opened, Reasoning focalized, Receptors
activated
Perspectives distorted
The ladder beyond our grasp
The twin-headed serpent forever hidden
Where's the true knowledge -
Where engines of the sane and insanity merge
The clarity. The unity
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible
to our fixed, restricted fields of vision
Existence taken for granted. -Absolute
Possessed, owned, controlled
By the common sense-infected rational gaze
Onward forever we walk among the ignorant
Never stray from the common lines

✔️
When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, the song 'Rational Gaze' by Meshuggah goes further into the matter of reality being nothing but a mere product of one's perception and the surrounding social norms. It is like the band is coaxing us to keep on questioning, confronting, and trying to find the truth behind what we see as truth. Mostly the lyrics of Rational Gaze are about reflection, social commentary, inspiration, angst, and empowerment. Alongside that, the song gives a thorough talk about the whole matter of perception and reality, searching for the truth, getting disillusioned with the so-called 'wisdom' of the crowd, and going through the process of transformation and enlightenment. The lyrics have their basis in abstraction and philosophy and might be a little too much for the younger ones to completely grasp and even more to appreciate without any parental guidance. There are no such things as foul language, violence, or other kinds of mature content, but the intricate ideas and startling images might still be more appropriate for adults or those who have a mature outlook to access.

It's about how humans, at least lately, tend to use the rational side of their brain exclusively. We're all armchair experts, using induction to claim there are impossibilities.
