Текст песни Rational Youth - Close to Nature

I walked a path through a notion of time
Like a particle of dust in a small beam of light
Where a shape is not a shape
The world is just a dream, close to nature

I left a trace where a world lived and died
A message out of time like a pure wave of motion
And all that moves is still close to nature

The unity of things is the essence of truth
Though some would try to rule the universe by force
But I prefer to stay close to nature

I feel the pain like a thousand knives
A cancer in the soul, I am consumed
The more I try to walk close to nature

A flash of light, the sky erupting
My eyes are burnt, I cannot bear
To see the awful power, close to nature

This is the end of the beginning
This is the death of life
And all that once did live close to nature
