...
Interface Operating System
Looking down the barrel of a microscope
Cells, then organelles, then isotopes
How deep down do you have to go,
Before you'll know what you need to know?
Looking closely at pixels spread on a screen
Doesn't clarify what the images mean
That's done where the image is seen
I don't even know, if ya know what I mean?
Swallow the ocean in a single sip
Fold up a mountain into its toppest tip
Sights, sounds, smells; only just perception
What is real, and what's a functional deception?
