This Jazz Rock track seamlessly transitions from a Latin meets rock riff to a double-time swing section and back again. It narrates the journey of a man trying to make sense of the world. He comes to realize that our fears stem not from the things themselves, but from our perception of them.
lyrics
The Nature Of Things
He can’t sleep, he watches the shadow play
The eldest chants a prayer for guidance along the way
It’s his first hunt, his heart is pounding inside his chest
His eyes won’t close tonight, the inner stage is set
In a world with more losses than wins
Man can’t grasp the nature of things
The spear won’t cut through, the mammoth’s fur is too thick
With claws like sharpened stone,the cat moves in a blitz
Gods must be soothed, they watch over the elements
Fires, floods, storms come down, should they fall out of balance
If they come back empty handed, there will be no offerings
Man then must suffer, it’s the nature of things
He stepped outside when he heard the underworld call
Countless fires in the sky, but the moon won’t calm
Day grapples night in the circle of seasons
In this strange world, without rhyme or reason
He wonders what the new day may bring
He will accept, it’s the nature of things
In a world with more losses than wins
Man can´t grasp the nature of things
