About this track
A song about spiritual manipulation - how false gurus use the promise of freedom to create control, and the recognition that authentic freedom is inherent, not granted by any authority. Persecutor, rescuer, victim's role Everyone gets damaged, body and soul The drama triangle in a spiritual guise Playing games that swallow you whole I'm your Guru, can't you see Submit yourself entirely to me Be my slave, that's the key If you want to be free End up broken, dead or worse Playing with darkness is a curse Vulnerable before the guru's thirst No place to hide Spiritual abuse ain't no joyride I'm your Guru, worship me Be my slave devotedly Give your will up totally If you want to be free The guru says love's conditional Their caring purely transactional We all know they're pathologically narcissistic-al Their promises purely fictional I'm your Guru, obey my way Do exactly what I say There's no other path, no other way If you want freedom, you must stay Take the ultimate risk, they command Give everything into my hand Forever loyal to where I stand Then maybe you'll understand I'm your Guru, cutting edge supreme Living the evolutionary dream And you're just little people, so it seems Hardly worthy of my schemes Guru-ji, Guru-ji, endlessly Guru-ji, please rescue me I'll be your slave if you'll agree To somehow set me free Guru-ji, Guru-ji, endlessly Guru-ji, please rescue me I'll be your slave if you'll agree To somehow set me free A tragic unmet need's decree Perfect prey for Guru-ji Life force energy to drain away Another devotee to betray A system promising freedom through submission? That's absurd! Selling you what you already own Asking you to seek what you already are In the end as in the start Nothing to add, nothing to fix This awareness, perceiving right now Already complete, already free Has always been, always will be Remember people, here's what's true A real Guru won't command you Won't manipulate or make demands on you Won't ever tell you what to do --- Original Lyrics: Marc Pell
