Abstracia

Abstracia was inspired by an old fairy tale written by the Brother's Grimm called "The Fisherman and His Wife." Abstracia is something I used to symbolize for both the concept of an imaginary land and a mental state, and I couldn't think of anything more suitable. Although the song was inspired by The Fisherman and His Wife, it focuses on the constraints of life and of an implied pressure to do something in that constrained life. I define those who think they know as cynics, and this song was directed at the state of mind I seem to spend the majority of my time in, while they keep on claiming. I think a few quotes sum it up nicely:

We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle "nature". We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
-Immanuel Kant

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
-Werner Heisenburg

There are many more quotes just like these that basically state the same noumenal prinicple, but I still am amazed that most choose to ignore it. This song is my tribute to that idea.
