The lyrics, aimed at evoking a sense cosmic of understanding, have a lot of consciousness and metaphysical reasoning in them. 7/4 timing to keep things interesting. G# major.

Weird music for weird weirdos who are weird.
Take a look at that address up there in the address bar. What a nightmare! Do yourself a favor and bookmark it! ++++++++++ We humans tend to get attached to things. We enjoy feeling certain ways and doing certain things, and we do everything within our power to feel those ways and do those things more often. This is perfectly natural, but it does carry with it some dire implications. Specifically, the crafty strategies that we devise in order to approach this and avoid that wind up taking us in circles. Our lives start to become focused on these formulas rather than the desired states of being that had inspired them. Ultimately, we find ourselves trapped in labyrinths of obsolete pleasantries, frustrated with, though largely unwilling to admit, the fact that they no longer work. From here, we spiral down into a profound inflexibility characterized by obsessive attention to impertinent minutia, growing increasingly isolated and at odds with others in the world around us. This in turn leads to all forms of violent oppression and insanity. Reconsiderate addresses this issue by confronting the furthest extrapolations of these "obsolete pleasantries". What he uncovers are unanticipated (or acknowledged) "bumps in the road", repressed nightmares that are just itching to find their way to the surface. In these moments of confrontation, Reconsiderate's intentions are that the dysfunctional strategies be recognized as short-sighted and finite miscalculations, deserving only to be purged as we "go back to the drawing board". As such, Reconsiderate is best understood as a force that supports our spiritual and psychological evolution, even at the expense of our comfort. The word itself, "reconsiderate", can be understood as an adjective that means "able and willing to adapt or change". It is rightly applied to anyone who understands that every aspect of his being-- from his most lofty ideals down to his most basic assumptions about life-- is subject to infinite scrutiny and is eventually destined to be torn down, razed to clear space for What Will Follow. Reconsiderate folk know when it is their time to go, and resist not at all. They work with the "little death", aware that some immutable aspect of their soul survives it, and that only this immortal facet of the soul is worth their time and attention in the first place. Why get attached to anything else??

Lyrics
Why're you feeling so confused? Don't you know that molecules tell you what's going through your head? (Whatever happens happens because that's what you wanted.) Three dimensions give rise to expression. You're floating in a sea of inquantifiability. Everyone is an angel sent here by you to help you become you. Don't fight it. You're witnessing, not directing your unfolding. The world is you made visible, made physical. It's an angel. copyright Anthony Joseph Arlotta, Reconsiderate all rights reserved use by permission only
