I think you have
About something beyond
What you can percieve
With your lonely five senses
I think you have

Why must we be confined three dimensions?
To 10 million colors?
And 20 thousand frequencies?
Is it possible we're just idiots, fools
Too slow to see something that's all around

Have you ever wondered?
I think you have
About the limits of our thinking
And all the things we'll never know

About the world where we'll spend all our days
I think you have
You must have, you must have

Everything around me
Is this reality?
I can't except that this all
Life has to offer
Maybe it's just insanity
But I question

Thoughtful lyrics, Sljslj.

The answer is "yes," I've wondered, and "no" we aren't idiots. Our senses work very well for allowing us to survive on earth. You're right that our bodies aren't aware of all stimuli. That's when machines are useful to measure energy and particles to which we are blind, often literally!

The lyrics have a few typos that I'll correct here so you can correct them if you want: accept (instead of except), reality (instead of relaity), perceive instead of percieve, and confined *to* three dimensions.
