Being is an extremely broad concept encompassing subjective and objective features of reality and existence[vague]. Anything that partakes in being is also called a "being", though often this use is limited to entities that have subjectivity (as in the expression "human being").[vague] So broad a notion has inevitably been elusive and controversial in the history of philosophy,[vague] beginning in western philosophy with attempts among the pre-Socratics to deploy it intelligibly. As an example of efforts in recent times, Heidegger (who himself drew on ancient Greek sources) adopted German terms like Dasein to articulate the topic. Several modern approaches build on such continental European exemplars as Heidegger, and apply metaphysical results to the understanding of human psychology and the human condition generally (notably in the Existentialist tradition). By way of contrast, in mainstream Analytical philosophy the topic is more confined to abstract investigation, in the work of such influential theorists as W. V. O. Quine, to name one of many. One most fundamental question that continues to exercise philosophers is put by William James: "How comes the world to be here at all instead of the nonentity which might be imagined in its place? ... from nothing to being there is no logical bridge."

first day in an unknown place
nothing to say just a seeing face
checking names and codes
longing to give an ode to fame
I kept friends in my mind
and a part of the land I left behind
so here I start to break the ice
beyond the mirror of peoples eyes
step out from lethargy
to show the world what I can be
so we ride all doors are open now
to ride, take the straight way to anywhere
good day in the warmest place
nothing to say just visiting space
solar point in stellar plan
stairpath cuts through cosmic land
can pay with time patience is rewarded
so we ride all doors are open now
No amount of preparation leads me,
To be ready to depart believe me,
I hold on to all of that which freely,
Floats about under my feet beneath me.
Elevation ever rising I'm shown,
Upwards into everything that's unknown,
What's the meaning or the purpose? I'll go,
Despite all the reasoning I know.
Floating upward,
Searching forward,
Reaching inward,
For my soul.
Bring me back home, To the world that I've known,
I resent this, Resistance!
How have I grown, From the people I've known?
I can't bear this, Distance!
Distance!
I'll be waiting for gravity, to be,
Pulling me back,
I'll be running on empty, 'till we,
Find the right track.
Bring me back home, To the world that I've known,
I resent this, Resistance!
How have I grown, From the people I've known?
I can't bear this, Distance!
Distance!
Distance!
Now I can grow from the people I know,
There is no resentment left that I show,
All I had to do to fall was let go,
I have bridged the distance over the flow.
Now I can grow from the people I know,
There is no resentment left that I show,
All I had to do to fall was let go,
I have bridged the distance over the flow.
I'll be waiting for gravity, to be,
Pulling me back,
I'll be running on empty, till we,

“The history of the world is a book
Each people is a chapter
Each city is a page
And each human being is a word
Each word has a meaning and one single place
But it doesn't know about it
It has to discover it
Then starts its Inner Quest.”
Being
Locked in a strange town
They'll make room for us somehow
Maybe a cheap caravan on the highest hill
With a view
Where I can float away with you
Away from the insides of this steeple
When and where we're getting old and feeble
[Chorus]
And who
Who should come running now
Who would refuse to speak at every letter
You know it's better to move
The air will freeze before it gets better
But I can thaw
I can see the earth is calm but about to roar
From both inside and out my head's up in a rain cloud
And there's not much to laugh about
But then one day
There'll be nothin' but this thing we can't do without
And you
You should come running now
Yeah you
Your time is running out
It's better to lose
You know the air will freeze before it gets better
Hoo... huh...
[Instrumental]
Ooh... ooh... woah... oh...
And we don't wanna go to war again
Don't wanna go to war again
We don't wanna go to war again
Don't wanna go to war again
We don't wanna go to war again
Don't wanna go to war again... oh...
And you
You should come running now
Yeah you
Who'd refuse to speak at every letter
You know it's better to lose
You know the air will freeze before it gets better
Being
Being left with barbed wire and a shoe-string
We're just being
Being left with barbed wire and a shoe-string
We're just being
Being left with barbed wire and a shoe-string
We're just being
