Basic Myth 2: The Human Nature Divide (Lyrics Video)

Описание: Inspired by the writings of Charles Eisenstein.

Lyrics:

Once I spoke with river’s tongue,
And heard the stones beneath the sun.
The trees would whisper in my ear—
Their breath was mine, their song was near.

But somewhere in a dream of man,
The wild grew silent, and I ran.
The sky was fenced, the ground was weighed—
And so the bond of kin betrayed.

I drew a map upon the land,
And split the sky with wire and hand.
I caged the bird, I drained the sea—
And called it wealth, and called it free.

I named the winds, I claimed the rain,
And still the hunger stayed the same.
Each root I tore, each stone I turned—
Left ashes where the hearth once burned.

But how can I be whole, apart?
The leaf, the root, the beating heart—
They are my flesh, my breath, my ground.
I lost myself where none is found.

I built a wall against the rain,
And still it found me, just the same.
I called the forest dead and done,
But knew its hunger was my own.

The night grew cold, the fields grew bare—
I searched for Eden everywhere.
And every step away I went
Was one more step from what was meant.

The wind that bends the grass I breathe.
The river’s song runs under me.
No border holds, no name divides—
The world is me, the me it hides.

How can I be whole, apart?
The leaf, the root, the beating heart—
They call me back, they call me home.
I am no longer mine alone.

Nature is not outside of us.
It is what we are.
There is no line between the human and the wild.
What heals is not control,
but the remembering —
that we belong to each other.
