Lyrics
Essence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The universe is female
Eluding the science of men
You sway and you swagger and your neat/mean [1:13] little dagger
You're gonna blow it again
Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
Lust and law take the masculine
Ambition and war take the boys
I pin the tail on the alpha male
A little man making big noise
It's not the engine or chassis
It's not the weapon or length
Your war dance I guess got this place in this mess
But there's something that's stronger than strength
A metaphor is a goddess
A king that's fit for a queen
The opposite side of that armored old hide
I hope you know what I mean
Oh yeah
