Can you digest your dreams?
Can you hear the void scream?

Baku-san, Baku-san. We are living inside media,
a world of endless feeds, empty scrolls
Where reality is filtered, through hungry ghost
Our thoughts and feelings shaped, by the pixels that bleed
And yet do we digest our dreams?

A short while back the door flung wide
We all saw mandala of threads on the other side
The door blew shut but there’s a leak
Dreams are lies, it’s the dreaming that’s real
We are consumed by the screen, with its endless streams of noise
Our minds a labyrinth, lost in the logos that’s just a reflection we’ve found.

It’s the dreaming that’s real
We’re lost in an endless scroll, of images we cannot escape
And our dreams are swallowed whole, by a virtual loop tapes.
Living inside media, a surreal insect time. in a reality that’s surreal.
Dreams are lies, it’s the dreaming that’s real

Dreaming that’s real
We are the dreamers, yet we are the dreaming
leaking from dreamtime, a source where nothing is as it seems
A hyperbolic existence, where reality is fractal
And our thoughts are mere kaleidoscope, ecology of mind.

We are creatures of the dreamtime, in a wyrd that’s our own
Lost in a digital dream, where reality is overthrown
We escape in an harmonic cycles, of digesting dreams

It’s the dreaming that’s real
Dreaming that’s real
Dreaming that’s real
Dreaming that’s real

Baku-san, the dream devourer of Japanese folklore, holds within its essence the very secrets of our innermost being. For in our dreams, we are able to glimpse the infinite possibilities that exist beyond the veil of our waking consciousness. Baku-san, with its insatiable appetite for nightmares, serves as a reminder of the power of our imagination to transform even our darkest fears into sources of creative inspiration.

But Baku-san is not just a creature of myth and legend. It represents something far more profound — the very essence of consciousness. For Baku-san, yet one tool of dreaming to transform our innerspace through the art of dreaming. And in doing so, we are able to tap into the infinite wisdom that lies at the heart of all creation.

In the end, the meaning of Baku-san is not something that can be easily defined or contained within the confines of language. It is a symbol of the mystery and magic that lies at the heart of all existence. And as we journey through life, let us remember to embrace the power of our dreams, for they are the keys that unlock the doors to our deepest truths and highest aspirations.
