Make Sense from Afterlife by Petter Vågan
«Make Sense» marvels at the intricately complex biological systems that enable us to interact with our environment with such effortless grace. What a spectacle! Materialism has come a long way in describing how many aspects of existence behaves, but still the most fundamental and interesting questions remain unanswered. Why is there something as opposed to nothing? We know matter is energy, but what is energy? What is consciousness?

Lyrics
Some neurons govern
the exchange of air
Between the lungs
and the atmosphere
Cyclic patterns
Spontaneously composed
You watch yourself perform
And it doesn’t make sense
Will it ever make sense?
The dancing muscles
Of blinking eyes
Duality
In disguise
A play of voltage
And possibility
The ebb and flow
of salt
And it doesn’t make sense
Will it ever make sense?
In between
The breath and the breather
In between the dream and the dreamer
Lies the snake
Will it ever make sense?
Some neurons govern
the exchange of air
Between the lungs
and the atmosphere
Cyclic patterns
Spontaneously composed
You watch yourself perform
And it doesn’t make sense
Will it ever make sense?
In between
The breath and the breather
In between the dream and the dreamer
Lies the snake
Will it ever make sense?
