[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Different Contexts lyrics]
We have tried, scientifically
To understand the world
And explain it's mysteries
By analyzing the smallest
smallest particles of things that exist
Inquiring down, down
Down: what is this thing
We call flesh, or call steel, or stone
What is it made of?
Go down into the midst of it
And that’s given us a certain understanding
But only half of the understanding
Equally important is not what
Is the tiniest particle
But in what context is the tiniest particle?
You see? In relation to what is it?
Just as the word "bark, " as I showed you
Has different meanings in different
Sentences, so cells, molecules, atoms have
Different properties in different contexts
Different properties in different contexts
So what the scientist equally needs
To study is not
Simply, what is anything when
Very, very minutely analyzed
But where is it? When is it?
That makes all the difference
So, do you see that a lot of
People who get anxious when they
Hear that everything is relative have no
Need to get that anxious?
Relativity isn’t some kind of
Slippery morass in which
All standards and all directions get lost
Relativity is really the soundest
Situation that there is
Different properties in different contexts
Different properties in different contexts
Relativity is really the soundest
Situation that there is
Relativity is really the soundest
Situation that there is
To understand the world
And explain it's mysteries
By analyzing the smallest
smallest particles of things that exist
Inquiring down, down
Down: what is this thing
We call flesh, or call steel, or stone
What is it made of?
Go down into the midst of it
And that’s given us a certain understanding
But only half of the understanding
Equally important is not what
