Primacy Songtext
von Harry Wolfman

Some people will use a symbolism of
The relationship of God to the universe
Wherein God is a brilliant light, only somehow veiled
Hiding underneath all these forms that you see as you look around you
So far so good


But the truth is funnier than that
It is that you are looking right at the brilliant light now
That the experience you are having, which
You call ordinary everyday consciousness
Pretending you′re not it
That experience is exactly the same thing as it
There's no difference at all
And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly
That′s the great discovery

In other words, when you really start to see things
And you look at an old paper cup
And you go into the nature of what it is to see
What vision is, or what smell is, or what touch is
You realize that that vision of the paper cup
Is the brilliant light of the cosmos
