The ouroboros or uroboros is an ancient symbol of a serpent (snake), or dragon eating its own tail.
Uroboric Forms is therefore about the underlying shape and idea of this symbol; namely, that of cyclic/eternal renewal such as in life, death and rebirth.
The serpent encompasses this all, as is all...
Self is the universe, not separate
The state before the fall into self consciousness
Nothing is himself, everything is world
[Chorus]
Primordial egg returns
Consciousness unborn
Pre-personal perfection
Bliss's scree yet untorn
Uroboric forms
Find itself as a separate entity
An ego germ is just beginning to be
Wherever there is other, there is fear
Birth, primal paradise
No gap distance or separation
Between self and environment
Unconditional omnipotence
Nothing is himself, everything is world
[Chorus]
Primordial egg returns
Consciousness unborn
Pre-personal perfection
Bliss's scree yet untorn
Uroboric forms
Consciousness unborn
Uroboric forms
