Title: "Shedding Scales of Illusion"

[Atmospheric instrumental intro with sitar and synth pads] Verse 1: What writhes in stillness, a paradox of death? Dualists cling tight, non-dualists breathe Coils upon coils, a symphony of scales Listen closely now, as the old self wails Chorus: Shedding, shedding, layers fall away Shedding, shedding, a new dawn, a new day Feel the transformation, cell by cell As the false self dies, truth begins to swell [Ethereal "Ooh" section with chanting] (Ooh ooh, let go, let go) (Ooh ooh, embrace the flow) Verse 2: Fear turns to wonder, at your feet it lies The ego's grip loosens, old beliefs demise In this sea of change, cast-off skins abound Your true self emerges, no longer bound (Chorus) Bridge: Duality dissolves, two become one Night meets day, moon embraces sun No need to count, control, or divide In fertile ground, you've shed your pride [Intense instrumental section with tabla and electric guitar] Verse 3: Like a phoenix rising, reborn anew Your story unfolds, authentic and true Dead snakes pile high, change manifest Sacred shedding complete, at last you rest (Chorus) Outro: In this alchemical dance, find your face Darkness and light entwined in grace As all collapses into the One The work complete, the victory won [Fading outro with meditative chanting]
