INZO - Overthinker
Theme of overthinking and losing touch with reality
-
The opening lines describe a person who constantly thinks but has nothing to think about except their own thoughts, leading them to lose touch with reality and live in a world of illusions.
-
The constant chatter in their mind, characterized as thoughts, is a perpetual and compulsive repetition of words for reckoning and calculating.
-
The lyrics emphasize that thinking itself is not inherently bad but should be used in moderation as a servant rather than a master.
-
The overemphasis on thinking, prevalent in so-called civilized societies, is seen as a cause for increasing madness and self-destructiveness.
-
Excessive thinking is described as a factor that disconnects individuals from reality.
Confusing signs with the real world
-
The lyrics express how people confuse signs, symbols, and representations with the actual reality they represent.
-
This confusion leads to a disaster as the real world of nature is unintentionally destroyed due to the misinterpretation of science and its detachment from nature.
-
The focus on the mind and excessive thinking has resulted in people becoming disconnected from their senses.
Awakening and questioning reality
-
The lyrics call for a wake-up call, encouraging listeners to question what reality truly is.
-
While reality cannot be simply explained in words, it is emphasized that it is not material but merely an idea.
-
The song suggests that reality is something that cannot be fully understood or articulated through language.
Embracing existence and moving forward
-
The lyrics acknowledge that the expression of one's self is an inherent part of living.
-
The necessity of survival and the continuation of life are highlighted.
-
The repetition of the phrase "we must go on" underscores the importance of embracing existence and moving forward despite the complexities of reality.
