lyrics

The brilliant colors had dulled into a blotchy mix of harsh reds, greens, and yellows,
as the grayish-blue-bricked main road led her forward.
Beside the slight disturbances in perception,
The Itinerant noted that it felt somewhat familiar,
as if in another life or another timeline all of this was arguably similar
to what should be expected while alive.
Despite not having any clear recollection of any such previous life,
Answer gave a slight inclination that there had been such a thing,
although it was quite muddled by the loss of temporal anchors.
Still, between her three parts,
The Itinerant was able to piece together thoughts that, overall,
left her with the sentiment that what she was experiencing at this point,
the entire village inside her still limited range of view,
was acting as some sort of bridge from some previous world
to the current one
in terms of familiarity.
If this were on purpose or accidental she did not know,
but the thought also crossed her mind*
*(Question’s and perhaps some section of Being’s specifically)
that even in an unknown world,
there has to be some basis of familiarity--
not because it is a rule that every alien environment
must have something palatable to every single sentient mind that experiences it,
but instead:
that every such environment, by default,
has something that is the most familiar,
relatively speaking,
and a reasonable mind like The Itinerant’s*
*(in her own opinion)
would instantly and automatically seize that relative minimum of unfamiliarity
and operate under the assumption that it is the base norm.
She wondered if there were others in this world
and thought about whether they would have different base norms based on this theory.
Likely, she thought.
In fact, she could find out quite soon,
if she pursued the source of the larger,
rather surprisingly natural-feeling pulses of emotion,
which she decided were only instantly recognizable
because they were part of her own previous life
and thus were now an aspect of her new base norm.
So, after some hesitation, a major event of this new era occurred:
The Itinerant started to move.
