  1. Candy talks to strangers

    Thinks her life's in danger

    No one gives a damn about her hair

    It's lonely down on Track Street

    She used to go by Jackie

    The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers

    Take a number where the blood just barely dried

     

    Wait for something better

    No one behind you

    Watching your shadows

    This feeling won't go

     

    Crooked wheels keep turning

    Children, are you learning

    Acclimatize but don't you lose the plot

    A history of blisters

    Your brothers and your sisters

    Somewhere in the pages we forgot

     

    Take a number Jackie

    Where the blood just barely dried

    You know I'm on your side

     

    Wait for something better

    No one behind you

    Watching your shadows

    You gotta be stronger than the story

    Don't let it blind you

    Rivers of shadow

    This feeling wont go

     

    And the sky is full of dreams

    But you don't know how to fly

    I don't have a simple answer

    But I know that I could answer

    Something better

     

    This feeling won't go

     

    Wait for it

  2. Moreover, Nietzsche treats the idea of sensory intermediaries, or the idea that any sensory input is removed from the thing itself. All senses operate via neural bridges that remove the subject from the thing. Thus, our bodies are liars, and truth unobtainable.

     

    hehe, thanks! I do like to randomly jettison spare thoughts to clear some room for more :wink:

  3. Hmm, ok I counter biology with literary theory.

     

    Jacques Derrida explains that the intermediary is the tool by which we attempt to reach the thing itself, but ultimately we fail to do so. Moving from Nietzsche's premise on "Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense" by which we understand that human society is a bunch of liars that have decided to forget that words are mere representations (what Derrida calls intermediaries from Rousseau), Derrida explains that Rousseau's intermediaries are insufficient bridges that contain no part of the thing itself that is, irretrievably, removed from us through language.
