The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it Into shareable, perceptible sonic language Whatever will get you there I call it "Translation" The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it Into shareable, perceptible sonic language Whatever will get you there I call it "Translation" And it's a very powerful thing In a world we don't always have the tools Or the context To express the fullness of who we are Music has this unparalleled ability To take all of one's pain Put into a single frame And invite us to relive it With all of the joy experience And none of the suffering Music has an ability To convert the emotional experience The human experience However transitory And convert it into redeeming beauty Long after the pain has past The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it The taking of something In the inner world Silent, formless And finding the way to convert it And finding the way to convert it And finding the way to convert it Into shareable, perceptible sonic language And finding the way to convert it Into shareable, perceptible sonic language Whatever will get you there I call it "Translation"
