So What? (David Satori Rework)
But let's say we did find out that music is coming to us from aliens
I don't know that's gonna change anything at all
I'm excited for the aliens
I'm excited for the grand revelation
Whatever it may be, I'm excited for that
But I don't know how much it's gonna change anything
When it comes to being a human
I think it's just gonna create a nice couple of years
Probably, where we're all like
"Holy shit, we're part of the Galactic Federation"
But then you're gonna get annoyed
I don't know if anything changes that much
Do you ever think about that?
Like, the great, let's say the Buddha does show up
Let's say the grand thing happens
The Jesus rides in on the lion or whatever
The thing is shown, the great unveiling
You know, then what? (You know, then what?)
You're still gonna end up on a UFO, flying through space
Go to the bathroom and some asshole pissed on the seat
And you're gonna be like, "What the fuck is wrong with people?
You know what I mean? You're still in the human form
You're still stuck, you're still dealing with the same problems
Walk away, I'm telling you, man, this is the truth
When I, the first time I talked to Ram Dass
I said, "Are you my guru?" He goes, "Yes, now what?"
It was so awesome, just popped the balloon in the most brilliant way
You made showing me like, okay, sure
You're still just where in the situation you were prior
There's nothing changing here, there's nothing changing here
There's nothing changing here
(There's nothing, there's nothing changing here) there really isn't
And that's the pro, that's the essence of it all, isn't it?
It's still just the moment, and whatever it may be the world is flat
We find out the world is flat
The world is actually flat, surrounded by ice walls
And on the other side of the ice walls is where the aliens live
So what? You still have to eat
You still have to figure out a way to get food into your stomach
And find shelter and you know
You still have to have all the same stuff that you're dealing with
Meaning to me though, that's where the liberation is
It's because you begin to realize
You're still probably gonna run into the same problem
There might not be a way out through technology, magic
Or any external saving factor
For me, like having kids in a family has been revelatory to me
Because sitting around the table with my family, just eating biscuits
And listening to like country music, we're in the south
I have experienced the highest states of ecstasy
Connection with the divine than any of the crazy things that I've done
As I've attempted to gratify my senses, you know
Gathering around a dinner table with people you love
Is older than anything, you know, it's like an ocean (oh)
It's uh, it's been something that's been going on
For as long as humans have been wandering around
We sit together, and we eat, hopefully we look across the fire
The table at each other and love each other and laugh
When you finally do get lucky enough
That you're no longer stuck in your phone
Or trying to find just a perfect match
Of psychedelics and fucking and music
You get lucky enough that you find yourself
Just doing something normal like that
You might have the most incredible relief when you see, oh shit, right
This is it, nothing's really changed that much
This is, this is it, this is where it's at
All the other stuff, fireworks, fireworks show
That to me is something really beautiful
Yeah, I like to make breakfast for the kids
So I'm, I'm sitting around the table with these wonderful kids
We're eating, and I'm playing some music that my mom really liked
And I'm realizing, like, in the connection between me and my kids
And in the something about cooking for them, and in the music
Suddenly I realize, this is my mom, my- this is my mom now
This is my mom, I'm with my mom, I'm eating with my mom right now
And right when I thought that
Forest looks up from his pancakes and goes
"You found me, you found me"
You wanna find, like, a rudder for the ship
That your, of your existence, of your incarnation
I think that rudder is exactly what Ram Dass said
We work on ourselves so we can help the people around us
That's the hope, that's all
That's the only hope
I don't know that's gonna change anything at all
I'm excited for the aliens
I'm excited for the grand revelation
Whatever it may be, I'm excited for that
But I don't know how much it's gonna change anything
