lyrics

AN ABSTRACT TAKE
It was Ludwig Wittgenstein who said that words confine the great design
And no matter how experience has spread and swirled
The limits of my language are the limits of my world
But I’ll undercut the statement before and suggest this idea for you to explore

Some things they leave me speechless in their power and their awe
And touch emotions deeply as they row in from offshore
And even change your thinking from what it was before
It’s not the words I need to find as they will put restrictions on the mind
I’d be happy with an abstract take
even though sometimes it might be opaque
it acts as counterbalance when words play tyrant’s games
and stands beyond the requirement of the need to call things names

Sometimes I hear an echo of a saying set in song
‘Who feels it knows it’ was the call
It’s much more right than wrong.
