Story behind the song

Philosophical discussions in a classroom setting and reading many articles on the subject prompted me to write a song about it.  Part one is very eastern sounding, but the change to part two brings along most of the lyrics and more rockin riffs

Lyrics

i) close
Technology makes my world small, closing in on pseudo contact
I must receive, send and forward all my thoughts and all my being
ii) not quite
I need to screen out what is not quite there yet it is beginning to fade
My role diminished by the advancing production of duplicate minds
I need to screen out all my insecurities and all I  hate in me
And my role will diminish unless we walk hand in hand into tomorrow
Reaching for an end to conclude, and to unite
All-evasive goal will elude, but it's still in sight
I sense that we'll fall apart, unless a new order restores the vision created by the entity known as man
Surely there's an end to conclude, but we're not quite there
Minds melt into one as before, but we're not quite there
Back to roots and yet ever new, but we're not quite there
Consciousness and life hand in hand, but we're not quite there
In a fountain full of our thoughts, I'm drowning, lost in a sea of chance
In this new age of machines, "spirits dwell", claims the new consciousness
Will our freedoms be shared as well, who's to say where the line is drawn?
So today the question stands, will this life break from its creator?
In a fountain full of human minds, stand alone, but never lonely
Live, cry, dream, and love hand in hand we're almost, but not quite there
