Countermovement Lyrics

[Part I: Taro: 0:00-2:11]

[Instrumental]

[Part II: Anytime Soon: 2:11-5:48]

[Verse 1: Steve Howe]
It’s a feeling so strong
It can’t be wrong
From it I take my cues
It could be jazz or the blues

[Pre-Chorus]
Not anytime soon
Will my feet hit the ground
But elsewhere
They’re be time to share

[Chorus: Steve Howe & Jon Davison]
Since I made up my mind
Not to keep up with these maddening times

[Verse 2: Steve Howe & Jon Davison]
We’re just travelers
In a misunderstood land
Across misunderstood lines
Obeying misunderstood signs

[Pre-Chorus]
Step to forgive
Dream a dream
Replenish the seemingly
Endless light of life

[Chorus: Steve Howe, Jon Davison & Both]
Since I madе up my mind (Since I made up my mind)
Not to keep up with thesе maddening times (Not to)
Anytime soon

[Verse 4: Steve Howe & Jon Davison]
Could the tide be turning
Fulfilling what you’re yearning
Ungoverned by the moments
At one with everything

[Verse 1]
It’s a feeling so strong
It can’t be wrong
From it I take my cues
It could be jazz or the blues

[Chorus: Steve Howe, Jon Davison & Both]
Since I made up my mind (Since I made up my mind)
Not to keep up with these maddening times (Not to keep)
Anytime soon

[Vocalizations]

[Outro: Jon Davison & Steve Howe]
It could be jazz or the blues

[Part III: Blink Of An Eye: 5:48-10:15]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1: Jon Davison]
Artificial lives, made to socialize
Moments crystallize
Tactile compromise
Lost and hypnotized
New world synthesized

[Chorus]
In the age of AI, there goes you and I
Wandering through a new dimension
Ever-changing in the blink of an eye
Where only truth is what we’re leaving behind

[Verse 2]
I don’t want to be a false identity, simulation imitation me
I don’t want to be hung up on imagery, a self-inflated, overrated identity

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Wandering through a new dimension
Ever-changing in the blink of an eye
Where only truth is what we leave
In a blink of an eye

[Bridge]
Subject personified
Lost and hypnotized
Real world compromised
Wasted days race by in a blink of AI

[Verse 3]
I don’t want to be a false identity, simulation imitation me
I don’t need a part of me imaginary

[Synth Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Synth Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Part IV: Freedom’s Edge: 10:15-13:45]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Outro: Jon Davison]
I don’t want to be a false identity, simulation imitation me
I don’t need a part of me imaginary
I don’t want to be a false identity, simulation imitation me
I don’t need a part of me imaginary
