MEANING BUBBLES
(written 2006/recorded 2006)
(additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein/1889-1951)
one
one word that i say
connoted with all
i've seen on my way
and you
you will misconceive
'cause your ways were elsewise
change the message received
and now
we sit there and brood
and try to fit words
into contexts unknown
and puzzle about
what these words can mean
in each other's world
alone, alone
alas
we're locked in our meaning bubbles
everyone in one's meaning bubble
and we can never reach out
nobody will
ever know
what i intend to say
i will never
come to know
if your “nope” means nay
words
emanate from my mind
like small jigsaw pieces
with open ends outlined
and words
those words that you catch
won't fit in your mind's maze
'cause their open ends won't latch
and now
we sit there and brood
try comprehend words
which we cannot construe
not able to ask
what these words stand for
in each other's world
anew, anew
alas
we're locked in our meaning bubbles
everyone in one's meaning bubble
and we can never reach out
nobody will
ever feel
the same way that i feel
i could never
limn for you
meanings so unreal
"the limits of my language means the limits of my world"
