Born to Synthesize Lyrics


A handful of nothing is all that I need
Contains plus and minus everything
The odd combinations are what make up
The world that you see before youIn one hand I hold what people call good
The rest I hold in the other
These are just symbols to the perfected minds
Of which we are but mere reflectionsI was born to synthesize
Energize and catalyze
I was born to synthesizeLike waves on still water the forms reappear
Quickly erasing the ones before
But forms like these are born only to die
But the life in them lives foreverPyramids, spheres and obelisks
Are the patterns of all creation
But the red polygon's only desire
Is to get to the blue triangleI was born to synthesize
Visions rise before your eyes
I was born to synthesizeThe orbits of consciousness spin round and round
Apparently they go nowhere

But the odd combinations are leading you on
To your home which is in the centerYou were born to synthesize
Ain't no jive, it's no surprise
You were born to synthesize

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
