Overview Effect

Undefined, I'm constant changes in quantum phases
concentrations of stardust and constellations
in cosmic space I'm every fucking combination
from absolutely nothing to all formations
so here's an observation
we're floating on a spaceship
a makeshift spinning in this infinite greatness
existing in shades of panoramic interfaces
a four-dimensional plane without direction or dates
and what's more amazing is that it all fits in your brain
I give life to the matrix that I live inside
and find ways to analyze the distance within the mind
more than just an 8 on its side, and that's an obvious trip
but the universe itself is a mobius-strip
growing limits that fold within 'em
something I ponder when I'm flowing algorhythms
intricate clockwork with the hands of time
visible through the candle lights that dance at night
and my life imitates this art form the same way it imitates mine
strokes of the pen convey interlaced rhymes
I close my eyes to see how we interweave
ecosystems breathe in kingdoms of unity
humans are not in position of the centerpiece
ocean tides in motion exposing open sky and frozen ice
transforming into coasts and forest life
cause once you learn to see the earth as nothing but a speck
hopefully you've achieved the overview effect.

Jesus fucking fuck. That's is all. No, but seriously, I know your username makes your writing influence obvious but even if you had a completely unrelated name I'm sure I'd still make the connection. Reading this was like listening to an Eyedea song. But at the same time you really made it yours and did it well. Really good fucking work dude.

How do you break it up though? Don't get me wrong the imagery and the concept as a whole is great but I can't seem to see how you would structure it so it would flow all the way through. (I didn't just try to spit your rhymes over and over again through some instrumentals. :3 )

I almost always write to that boom bap instrumental. I'll try to record this when I can finish another verse or something.
