Текст песни Let Go and Relax - Alan Watts , The Red Pill

Imagine the idea that the moment you were
Born you were kicked off the edge of a precipice
And you're falling
As you fell a great lump of rock came with you
And is travelling along side you
And you're clinging to it for dear life
And thinking 'gee i've gotta hold onto this'
But it doesn't do a thing for you
And it's only making you anxious
And it's only when you understand that it
Doesn't do a thing for you that you let go and relax
So everybody's in this situation
We're all completely insecure
We're all headed straight for death
As if we had been condemned by a judge
And yet here we all are clinging onto things
And we have all sorts of alibis for doing this
We say well I have responsibilities
For my dependence and I've gotta cling on
But all you're doing is you're teaching
Your dependence to cling the same way as you are
And making them miserable by learning to go on surviving compulsively
So the thing is the same way
If you're caught in a current and you
Try to get out of it by swimming against it
You'll just wear yourself out
And you're still carried along with it
So the sensible thing to do is to turn around and swim with it
And if you want to get out of it swim towards the edge, but go with it
Same way when you're sailing
Always keep the wind in your sails
If you want to go against the wind, tack
But use the wind
So it's this way
We're all in this great stream of change which we call life
We are the stream
If you imagine you are separate from it and
You're being carried along by it as if you were a cork
That's a delusion
You're aware of the stream itself
So get with it
