Dark Tranquillity - Transient

Lyrics to Transient by Dark Tranquillity

To a fleeting wealth of knowledge We stand now idly by As it crashes and burns far from our grasp The ages-old dichotomy Between knowledge and belief One priori judgement at a time In judgement defined In our lifestyle, apathy So incapable In only observation and reaction We free ourselves of history In opinion and false deception What feats of our imagining We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go Fall to the depths of desire's reach At the hands of our own device Understanding kept at arm's length With opinions close to the chest Hurtful, cold, beyond reproach Resisting to be called One form of denial at a time Through judgement defined In our lawless ignorance So untouchable No liberation or deduction We feed into the narrative In speculation and reification You gather up the fallacies We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go, let me go One hit and you walk away Irredeemable In only observation and reaction We free ourselves of history In opinion and false deception What feats of our imagining We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go, let me go
