ways of raving - courtesy lyrics

what you do during the 90 minutes it takes to come up on ecstasy
so you learn a rave
to move as the music unfolds

the music doesn’t serve you
your body serves the music

expression, rhythm, dynamic
all of it made incarnate

if you understand the sp*ce between yourself and others
you can carve into that air
move along its path of grace
glide in its direction

your body is no longer an entity
but a flow of changing relations
yours and others
movement is wisdom
surrender to it

hind shared joys to know what the body was made for
this is the prеcipice of bliss

what you do when you’re coming down from еcstasy is also how you learn to rave
a majority of a set hovers not in its surges and flights
but in the middle ground
this is the place of control
the body aches, joints strain, the stomach rots
all you feel capable of is rocking back and forth
there’s no need to do more

the music only asks for you to stay with it
rock to the beat
nothing more than you’re willing to give
force won’t work here

here is the body at its very limitations
to feel desire with no desire
to satisfy it is a way of self*knowing
drink some water

after some time, the body’s ache deepens into something total
receding from being a signal into a condition
sensory noise no longer separates you from sound within and without
this is kenosis

as a silent glow shines throughout the body
the music will carry you to the point when a party becomes a rave

watch your dribble across the faces in the crowd because they too have gone through what you have
the momentum within is the momentum without
from here, you have enough to ride rhythm until dawn
or close, the point of victory
enrich silliness, celebration for celebration’s sake
when the party justifies itself

a prophet once told me on the dance floor
you will always be testing the edge of what’s real and what’s not
but the rave, the rave is real

every dance floor has its imperative
that one not simply witness life
but live in it
there, one will find truth, valor, and righteousness

the only reality i know at the rave is that i’m surrounded by people who have seen darkness, have been separated from the arms of someone dear
have grieved

how else does one desire utopia without first knowing loss?
if the human bond is forged by longing
then through the desolation of others
i can climb into the souls of strangers
anyone i choose
i become one with the collective
i lose myself in their motion
i forget how to walk and talk
revelation comes down one after another
just because there’s a beginning to grace
does not mean it has an end
everyone i’ve ever loved, i still love
and all i’ve ever lost is still with me
