Pneuma
"Pneuma" means by holding two claims together: spirit reaches beyond the body, and the body is where that reach has to be proven. At 2:09, the lyric names spirit bound to flesh, with one foot held down and the desire to go beyond still active. At 2:43, the meaning expands into shared origin: will, wonder, breath, word, spark, and becoming. Those words could turn vague if the music let them float. It does not. The long count and low weight make unity feel less like slogan than labor.
The 4:09 wake-up address changes the lyric's posture from description into command. The call to wake and release light has tenderness in it, but the surrounding music keeps it severe. At 5:00, flesh returns as guise, mask, and dream, complicating the earlier image without canceling it. When the late lyric returns at 10:07 and lands on spark and wonder at 10:27, awakening remains unfinished: whatever spirit is here, the song only trusts it after it has passed through flesh, pulse, repetition, and endurance.
