Vision eyes...realize
check it out, yo

Everything goes exactly as I predicted it
The minutiae is different, I nailed the gist of it
Just failed to adjust, baby it was a bust
as I was saying craving blunts that bubba's started playing
Somebody save us, I'm seeing futures
so what is the use of knowing the truth if no one is going to believe you
The curse of Cassandra, my vision eyes reveal all the answers and seem to leave no surprises
To live and die and circumscribe circumstances, a paralyzing affair trying's a fool's errand
You see what I'm saying I'm sorry if it's scary or obtuse when you feel you're cruising in Doc's Delorean
Poppin vodka pouring juice in, demean it sober, tomorrow morning I'm seeing a hangover
My gang's growing older they know I'm clairvoyant
I get harangued like gold
just try to enjoy shit a little
and it annoys me a little
sans joy, see through time
and skip stones on the River styx
and be the first to abandon ship

Chorus (instrumental)

Deja vu, mayhap have you been here as well,
it feels super familiar, pray tell
Ever get the urge to take a draft of Mimir's well
Trip on what's knitted with a cashmere veil
Egyptian glyphs, cavern sequence
in sleep magic dreams reveal hidden patterns between what is real and imagined
Money I have a secret, spoil the ending, I wish i couldn't see it
To me it's no more profounder then mere logic
a downer beyond years as we flounder
and fought what I thought would be inescapable
Like love lost, long term users incapapable
of forming any action spontaneous
laying on the barn and I might got the boon and the brainius (?)
along side with those who know not what it's like
under illuminight, more ice, doomed by the foresight a little
and it annoys me a little
sans joy, see through time
and skip stones on the River styx
and flip a rhyme with my boy chris

Chorus (instrumental and fade out)

    Lyric Correction:Good work on the lyrics. I think in this line "under illuminight, more ice, doomed by the farside a little", farside should be foresight.

    General Comment:Love this song. Pretty straightforward meaning; even though the speaker can see the future, it's more a curse ("sans joy") than a blessing. People may not believe you; your life has no more spontaneity; there's the agony of being unable to change the future that you see.

    The allusions are one of my favorite things about the lyrics.

    "Curse of Cassandra" >> After Apollo granted Cassandra the gift of foresight, she angered him, so he cursed her so that no one would believe her predictions.
    "Doc's DeLorean" >> a Back to the Future reference, do I even need to explain it? Haha.
    "Mimir's Well" >> Mimir was a Norse god known for his wisdom, and a drink from his well imbued the drinker with secret knowledge as well.

    But yeah, basically, everything about this song is awesome.
