Closed Eye Visions Songtext
von Ethan Langemo

The strangest thing is happening to me
When I open my eyes, there′s nothing there
And when I close them tight I can see
A maze of mirrors extending beyond me

Light like sound echoes off every surface
There is no curvature, just pure orthodoxy
The paths go back and forth and side to side
But also up and down and all around

The floor is lit from underneath
By a source I cannot perceive
But it shows off frightening angles
Of a face, for years I have not seen

It is my face


I cannot judge correctly
What is right and what is wrong
Do I go up or down
Or is the key in ceasing movement

For seconds upon minutes upon hours
The thought arises that there is no end
Not that this maze has infinite length
But rather that it is all connected, like a brain

Is this my own brain or God's?
Whose thoughts do I traverse?
Are my thoughts now the same as His?
Are my movements the same as His?

No, it is not the same
It is quite a maze indeed, but not a brain
These thoughts are all my own
I observe the people in the mirrors
