Mishka - 3rd Eye Vision

Continuing along in today's theme of the human mind: What does it mean to be "third eye blind?" Although many associate the concept of the third eye with mysticism and Eastern philosophy and religion, there have also been many well-known Western discussions on the concept of the human soul and consciousness. René Descartes actually called the pineal gland the "principle seat of the soul."

By the way, Mishka is probably the reggae artist today who reminds me the most of Bob Marley's musical style and content. Enjoy!



LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I heard you saying it won't make a difference
It's only you and it's just this once yeah
It's only this time
Don't you think that it all adds up
There's a reaction for each action many drips fill the cup
Where do you draw the line
Know thyself and to thine own self be true
Any other way is gonna make you feel blue yeah
Ya gotta reason to be here
Hey maybe if we focus and we get it together
We could raise the human consciousness and make things better yeah
I know you think I'm a dreamer 

[Chorus]
But I know that you're also seeking peace of mind
Wonderin' why you feel so tired why your third eye's blind
I know that you're also trying to find your place
Somewhere out in time and somewhere out in space 

[Verse 2]
Get so exhausted from all the exhaust
From living in fear yeah from living in a box hey
How come we always have to drive
I keep wishing corporations, and the politicians
Would make tighter restrictions on our fossil fuel emissions and meanwhile
Why don't we walk
If we all did a little then a lot would be done
We could clean up the mess and try to have some fun yeah
I'm off to plant a tree now
Cause if everybody takes and nobody gives
There'll soon be no air to breathe and no where to live
But you can't stop mother nature

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Did you remember to give thanks for the food
The earth, the air, the water, and everything good
The fire's still burnin'
Talk to yourself cause no one knows you better
Even take the time to write yourself a letter
To know the wheels are still turnin'
There's no better time than now to stand up straight
Take a deep breath Lord it's never too late to
Exhale your confusion
They say its all been done and there's no sense trying
But they don't really know you and they're probably lying
You got to see for yourself yeah

[Chorus]

I know that you're also seeking
I know that you're also out there
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
