[Melodysheep - Ode to the Brain lyrics]
It's amazing to consider that I'm
Holding in my hands
The place where someone once felt, thought
And loved for centuries
Scientists have been battling to understand
What this unappealing object is all about
Here is this mass of jelly
You can hold in the palm of your hands
And it can contemplate the
Vastness of interstellar space
The brain has evolved from the inside out
It's structure reflects all the stages
Through which it has passed
Information in the form of energy
Strеams in simultaneously
Through all of our sensory systems
And thеn it explodes into
This enormous collage
Of what this present moment looks like
What it feels like and what it sounds like
And then it explodes into
This enormous collage
And in this moment we are perfect
We are whole and we are beautiful
It appears rather gruesome
Wrinkled like a walnut
And with the consistency of mushroom
What we know is encoded
In cells called neurons
And there are something like a
Hundred trillion neural connections
This intricate and marvelous network of
Neurons has been called an enchanted loom
The neurons store sounds too
And snatches of music
Whole orchestras play inside our heads
20 million volumes worth of information
Is inside the heads of every one of us
The brain is a very big place
In a very small space
No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain
We can change ourselves
Think of the possibilities
Think of your brain as a newspaper
Think of all the information it can store
But it doesn't take up too much room
Because it's folded
We see with the eyes
But we see with the brain as well
And seeing with the brain
Is often called imagination
It is the most mysterious part
Of the human body
And yet it dominates the way
We live our adult lives it is the brain
Holding in my hands
The place where someone once felt, thought
And loved for centuries
Scientists have been battling to understand
What this unappealing object is all about
Here is this mass of jelly
You can hold in the palm of your hands
And it can contemplate the
Vastness of interstellar space
The brain has evolved from the inside out
It's structure reflects all the stages
Through which it has passed
Information in the form of energy
Strеams in simultaneously
Through all of our sensory systems
And thеn it explodes into
This enormous collage
Of what this present moment looks like
What it feels like and what it sounds like
And then it explodes into
This enormous collage
And in this moment we are perfect
We are whole and we are beautiful
It appears rather gruesome
Wrinkled like a walnut
And with the consistency of mushroom
What we know is encoded
In cells called neurons
And there are something like a
Hundred trillion neural connections
This intricate and marvelous network of
Neurons has been called an enchanted loom
The neurons store sounds too
And snatches of music
Whole orchestras play inside our heads
20 million volumes worth of information
Is inside the heads of every one of us
The brain is a very big place
In a very small space
No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain

But it doesn't take up too much room
