This song reminds me of Matisyahu and his rap style. It brought a smile to my face when I first heard (saw) it: youtube.com/watch . I really appreciate the wisdom behind the lyrics and the sharing of his journey or struggles with what is the truth. Part of that is embracing the darkness which he finds paradoxically shines. However, accepting this paradox is where the symbolic labels of light and dark falling away to reveal the truth. "Light's blinding" is the most brilliant line. There's the acknowledgement that we build lenses to see life in a certain way and dig trenches to keep us boxed in and unwilling to see his position. Being open and stripping off labels, iconology, religion, affiliations, brings us closer to the our core and what is true.
