subjective reality/IM mentions in music/television/movies...ect...

[billythegoat]

hello all,
i'm a long time lurker, never posted before though. my favorite band is getting ready to release a new cd. I've got the cd and listened to it and there are TONS of mentions towards the idea of subjective reality and "waking up" and such throughout it. the band is RX BANDITS and the cd is called mandala. here are some lyrics i thought you'd all appreciate:

from the song "its only another parsec...":

The choice between fear and love
The path that splits into your soul

Shall we be terrified of the unknown?
Insurgent vicissitude of time
Shall we be terrified?

from the song "hope is a butterfly, no net its captor":
Are you livin' the life that you dream for?
Or are you workin' just to survive?
There's a war that is waged
in the mind (it's forced inside)
Between desire and the roles
with to comply
I met a woman
She told me her secrets (she said)
Do what you love
cause in the end we only die...
And though the body may be imprisoned,
Nothing can stop the bird of hope
from taking flight

The "someday" syndrome epidermic screams
Confines our dreamscapes
In screens and picture frames

from the song "Hearts that hanker for mistake":
If you got the reason, the goal is to give you a rhyme
The vacuum of space is akin to perception of time



now the most obvious lyrics from "MIENTRAS LA VEO SOÑAR":
its in spanish but the english translation goes like this:
Wake up! Wake up! there's no more time
there's nothing more important than your dreams
the ocean asks, the earth responds
the future is yours if you want it

the rain dancing happily with the wind
the beach kissing the calm sea
there's no absolution, just your desire
subjective reality, it's only in what you think

from the song "Bury it down low":
Nobody else to blame, no not at all
We got to cooperate,
pick each other up each time we fall
Simplify the complication get together to unite
We got the power within our hands
Concentrate it to turn the dark to light
