In Buddhist philosophy, there are 5 main hindrances that limit our ability to see things clearly and be fully aware: Desire, aversion, laziness restlessness, and doubt. This song is an exploration into one of my main hinderances.
lyrics
I've been digging deep and I've been looking all over
Trying to find the root of it
My restless heart
Won't let me rest til the morning light
Strong and hidden one puling me here and then there
Doing your best to protect me
I didn't know you where there
My restless heart
Won't let me rest til the morning light
I've had a taste I've had a glimpse of what lies beyond you
Stillness in motion and silence abide
Beyond my restless heart
