Lyrics

There’s a choice that will have to be made
It will be determined by a previous state
But with an infinite analysis you’ll see
There’s still room for contingency

I know the temptation to hesitate
I’m a monad, but I can relate
Feels like you’re marching to someone else’s beat
Singing in pre-established harmony

Do you want to be
A monad in the 21st Century?

I know what it’s like to have all of these fears
But the phenomenal only well-foundedly appears
And it’s grounded in an elegant simplicity
I reflect you and you reflect me

But there’s a price that will have to be paid
To reconcile what’s good with what is depraved
So make your choice before it’s too late
There’s a best possible world to create

Do you want to be
A monad in the 21st Century?

The possibles are striving to be real
I think I know how they must feel
With an infinite analysis you would see
You complete the concept of me

Do you want to be
A monad in the 21st century?
