Текст песни There Will Be Noise - Akira the Don , Alan Watts

You know the old question
"If a tree crashes in a forest
And there is nobody around to hear it
Is there a noise?"
This question has been discussed in many futile ways
But noise, basically is a state of affairs
That requires an eardrum and an audio nervous system
Behind the eardrum
When the tree falls, if there is anywhere around an ear
With the appropriate nervous system
There will be a noise
Because noise is a relationship
Between motion in the air and ears
If there is not any ear around
There won't be any noise although
There will be vibration in the air
And if there is some instrument around
Such as a microphone attached to a tape recorder

There will be noise
There will be a vibration
There will be light
In the darkness
In the same way
Let's suppose the sun sends out light into space
Now, the space surrounding the sun
Will be black darkness
As if there were no light in it
Unless a planet happens to float by
When a planet floats by, there will be light
In the darkness
But if there isn't anything to relate to the sun
In that way
Then comes no light
Now this goes right down
To the root and ground of everything
It goes down to the essence of your nerves
Of your whole being
That it's all an interdependence

There will be noise
There will be a vibration
There will be light
In the darkness
There will be noise
There will be a vibration
There will be light
In the darkness

And that's why one of the basic symbols of the universe
Is the Chinese yin-yang symbol
Which, you know, is a circle with an S-curve in the center
One side of the S is black, the other is white
So it makes, as it were, two commas, or two fishes
And the eye of the fish is the opposite color
The white fish has a black eye
The black fish has a white eye
Curling in on each other
Now, this thing is called a helix
And that is the fundamental form of the galaxies
The great nebulae we see out in space
And this is, basically, too
The position of sexual intercourse
This is lovemaking
And this is, you know
When you hold hands, and so on
This is it
This is it

There will be noise
There will be a vibration
There will be light
In the darkness
There will be noise
There will be a vibration
There will be light
In the darkness

But there are two involved
And the two are secretly one
