Kaduatán - Îndarna ("Silent Questions")

More progressive-rock sung in the Ithkuil constructed language from Kaduatán (the Ithkuil word for "wayfarers"). Music and lyrics by John Quijada. Lead vocals sung by David J. Peterson. Artwork by Paul Quijada. SILENT QUESTIONS The young genius questions herself in silence as to her mistaken rationalizations; is it possible I’ve been totally ignorant? Having such a brilliant mind, don’t I understand these feelings? What wasn’t I seeing before this trance-like moment of introspection caught up with me? Having such a brilliant mind, don’t I understand these feelings? And in asking, like the unveiling of something hidden, she sees the answer plainly She now realizes her intellect makes her react to abstract knowledge the way everyone else reacts to other people and concrete things Unlike others she feels emotion toward mathematics and logic, toward integrated systems, and explanations of natural laws A feeling of oneness with the dances of the stars and planets, with the world inside a drop of water from a pond, with the philosophical implications of quantum theory and the vastness and grandeur of the never-ending universe She forces herself to acknowledge that her intellect provides her with a spiritual peace of mind, a spiritual peace of mind Being isolated with her intellect provides her with a spiritual peace of mind, a spiritual peace of mind out of fear of relationships with the external world But now a chance for romantic love has come to give her a connection to the world * * * Having such a brilliant mind don’t I understand these feelings? What wasn’t I seeing before this trance-like moment of introspection caught up with me? * * * A feeling of oneness with the dances of the stars and planets, with the world inside a drop of water from a pond, with the philosophical implications of quantum theory and the vastness and grandeur of the never-ending universe She forces herself to acknowledge that her intellect provides her with a spiritual peace of mind, a spiritual peace of mind Being isolated with her intellect provides her with a spiritual peace of mind, a spiritual peace of mind out of fear of relationships with the external world But now a chance for romantic love has come to give her a connection to the world But now a chance for romantic love has come to give her a connection to the everyday world _ Music and lyrics copyright 2016 by John Quijada Artwork/images copyright 2016 by Paul Quijada Video engineered by Kenneth Vaughn of Overlook Productions
