When I read Trey was doing a musical called “Hands on a Hardbody” I immediately thought “holy shit something controversial”
but no
and I agree that these lyrics are kind of weird. Some of them I can relate to, for instance, the song architect basically calmed me the fuck down because it directly pertained to something going on in my life that requires I look at it from the big point of view and not from every little thing that happens.
[i]Find your treasures
Where you will
Don’t you stop until you’ve had your fill
Wherever you may go
Look around, take it slow
There might be more to this than we all know
And if we have the chance to see the rough draft
I bet the early plans would make us laugh
And it never seems to help when we try to intervene
Some things are better left unseen
Reconvene, reconnect
Raise a glass to the Architect
'Cause it turned out better
So much better
Than we ever did expect[/i]
I will say that these are super basic. It’s not really “poetry” in the sense that there are multiple ways of looking at it or wormholes or anything like that, but it grabbed me.
