Sean Caroll's voice
"If everything is determined, then I don't have any free will
What can I do? How can I get through the day?
The answer is
YOU'RE NOT LAPLACE'S DEMON"
The pages I've read, the lanes I've trodden
My toys, passions and clothes
Marks of things I've forgotten
But, what's coming up? nobody knows
All of a sudden
Knocking on the door the things that I supposedly chose
Just another biscuit in the oven
Just one of the trillions of dominoes
Laplace's demon
Blown! cuz I'd always thought myself to be a freeman
I felt it, I still feel it, just another ape
This way, yeah... couldn't have taken another shape
Bullseye moments and mistakes
Stuff I've broken stuff that I've repaired
Out of my hands doesn't mean it's fake
It's still my image, right? transparent or opaque
I can remain critical
I thought I was the driver being the vehicle
Now looking out the window... all blurry
It's not about the destination but the journey
What's left for me?
There's a beautiful sound in the air
Time to breathe deep
I'll sit back on my chair
And enjoy the ride laughter and cry
Living! cause tomorrow I will die
When I cannot find any blue in the sky
No biggie, some stones in my pockets and good-bye
But in the meantime, dancing with the rhymes
Formidable mountain... ready to climb
I might as well go for the summit, that's me
Not at the helm of it
But bagsy the front seat
Time will tell, let's see
How many doors won't resist the key that I've received
Flow, flow in the river
Someone else's arrows? nah!
I've got my own quiver
No merit, no hatred, no guilt
In what's been created, destroyed and rebuilt
Crossing my epicurean fingers on my scale
Given the rules... no way to fail
Unfathomable precision
In all those numbers that leave no room for my decisions
Magnanimous, indifferent universe
Thanks for the script, I wish I'd rehearsed
But even though my pen's been taken
The words continue to appear sublime, unshaken
An illusory leader who's not leading
Fine by me ... I love reading
The characters, the climax, the plot
Happy ending for the novel or maybe not
Pressing the button, pulling the trigger, aiming at the centre
Off target! but what a good shot
Here I am, here I go
Walking in the dark as I glow in my own show
Next step? to be honest I don't know
I've got my hat for the sun, my boots for the snow, so?
Here I am, here I go
Walking in the dark as I glow in my own show
Next step? to be honest I don't know
I've got my hat for the sun and my boots for the snow, so?
When I think I've managed to jump onto a higher level
Try as I may I can't become a rebel
Cause as far as I can tell
Atom by atom, cell by cell
I would've done exactly the same heinous thing
Being the rabble or the king
I'm glad that the tao pulling its strings
Just asked me to feel, to be here, to sing
I can remain critical
I thought I was the driver being the vehicle
Now, looking out the window... all blurry
T's not about the destination but the journey
Here I am, here I go
Walking in the dark as I glow in my own show
Next step? to be honest I don't know
I've got my hat for the sun, my boots for the snow, so?
Here I am, here I go
Walking in the dark as I glow in my own show
Next step? to be honest I don't know
I've got my hat for the sun and my boots for the snow, so?
Here I am, here I go
Here I am, here I go
Here I am, here I go
Walking in the dark as I glow in my own show
