about
SEE I’M YOU
Daedalus wakes to a woman’s voice coyly asking: Why’re you swimming if I’m floating? Lucky to be alive, and with a beautiful young woman to boot, he enjoys unimpeded happiness. Daedalus feels alive with this woman, Akiko (in the story of the odyssey she would be Calypso). He is intrigued that she may be his Penelope. They playfully argue as Akiko tries to teach Daedalus that being lost is much better when you have someone to be lost with, that both of them are in similar situations. She shows him that any attempt to find his true self without the help of others is misguided, if not impossible. She urges him not to shrug off his past, to take life with an appreciating eye, not a jaded one; cultivating seeds instead of scattering them.
SEE I’M YOU represents a very crucial part of the artistic journey: instead of solely focusing on one’s self, it is important to look to others for outside inspiration, and as a mirror of you’re own essence. After all, half of who you are is other people. Akiko’s advice is exactly what the jaded, wearisome artist needs to hear. There is an entire world out there to explore and examine.
lyrics
I have yet to find myself by
Traveling the sea
Well I think you’re pretty blind
If you think that makes you free
Well you know that I’m all right
You know that I’m just fine,
Then just keep me
in your lovely eyes
I think you’ll see I’m right
=
Attachment never leaves you time
To find out who you are,
Well I don’t think you
Sailing around will get you very far
Well you know that I’m all right,
Yeah, you know that I’ll be fine
If you keep me in your jewel a while
You’ll see I’m something nice
You’ll see I’m something nice
=
A mirror to see
All those things
my mind denies me
See I’m you
I guess you’re mine
=
Please don’t be a siren
I’m looking for Penelope
Well I can’t say how things will go
But put water to the seed
Even though I see your lovely,
Love ain’t what I need right now
Places always are
There waiting
But love won’t always be
=
Yet those things
As tainted as they are
Still bring life
To an appreciating eye
Look to be surprised,
A mirror to see
All those things my mind denies
See I’m you
I guess you’re mine
