Akira
This is the paradox of the ocean
Sand, flying spray, pebbles and shells
Driftwood, sparkling water
Space incredibly luminous
With cloud banks along horizons
Underlying skies into which one's imagination can reach forever
But under the surface of both sky and water
There's the grim business of preying
Men and birds against fish, fish against fish
The torturous process of life continuing
But a painful transformation
From one form into another
To creatures who don't anticipate and
Reflect imaginatively upon this holocaust
Of eating and being eaten
It's perhaps not so terrible
Let me in, let me in
I love you so much
Let me in, let me in
I love you to the very core
Surrender to me, to this agony
And you will be transformed into me
Let me in, let me in
I love you
The poor man
Skillful beyond all other animals
By being able to think in time
And knowing the future
He dies before he's dead
He shrinks from the shark's teeth before they bite
He dreads the alien germ long, long
Before it's banquet begins
Here is a gull
That has picked a crab from a tide pool
Sprawled now upon the sand
The crab shrinks, from the walls of its shell
Resounding to the tap, tap, tap of the gull's beak
"Who's that knocking at my door?"
Let me in, let me in
I love you so much
Let me in, let me in
I love you to the very core
Surrender to me, to this agony
And you will be transformed into me
Let me in, let me in
I love you
I suppose the shell of the crab, the clam, or the mussel
Is the boundary of it's universe
To put ourselves in their position
We should have to imagine a knocking sound, louder and louder
That doesn't come from anywhere in particular
From the door or the walls or the ceiling or the floor
Think of a knocking that comes from everywhere
That beats against the boundaries of space and consciousness
That comes as the intrusion of an utterly unknown dimension
Into our own familiar world
Let me in, let me in
I love you so much
Let me in, let me in
I love you to the very core
Surrender to me, to this agony
And you will be transformed into me
Let me in, let me in
I love you
Let me in, let me in
I love you
