about

Arvid: The song is directly inspired by Charles Eisenstein’s thinking and ideas, to leave what he calls “the story of separation” and enter into a new story - “the story of interbeing.” When I listened to a podcast with him for the first time during a forest walk, it created a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings.

I had always thought of the challenges of the world as various concrete facts that required concrete solutions: taxes, rules, laws, etc. But can it be that phenomena such as climate change and deforestation are symptoms of a deeper story we create together every day? And that as long as this story continues, the symptoms continue? And if so, how could one behave to seek another story, to learn about? This song tries to fumble after these answers.

lyrics

Get me off the timeline

Trying to unlearn
Take me to the forest

And leave me there


All day long I'm yearning

Burning candles green

Didn’t see my failures

Caging me

​

I’m looking for myself

Longing for a way

One day I will be free

Free again


It’s dripping from my soul
Fill me up again
(The) Sacred story let me down


Searching for my story

Belly of the beast

Underground my fear will

Turn away


Burning through the winter

Wrestled with my needs

Befriend my empty void

And heal that fire


I’m looking for myself

Longing for a way

One day I will be free

Free again


It’s dripping from my soul
Fill me up again
(The) Sacred story let me down, oh oh


Looking for something changing

I will be free again


Looking for something lasting

Pin me down and swim that sea
