Ok stick with me on this one... I was on shrooms and staring at the multitude of trees surrounding my campus. I then observed a solitary tree that had obviously been there for a while. I decided to turn my iPod to the song and stare at the tree and developed an interpretation: The trees have seen many events and heard many things throughout the years, so therefore within all the knots and twisted limbs are years of built-up knowledge and memories. As the song focuses on the lower instrumentals, it builds the base of the tree and works its way up. When the pitch changed, it seemed to focus upon the limbs and "fingers" of the tree and knots within the wood. The song seemed to be "the Tao" (otherwise known as the unnamable way that flows throughout all living things in the Taoist religion... think of chi) that flowed throughout the tree and connected with the other trees. It made lots more sense when I was on shrooms, but try it sometime! Get some shrooms, put on treefingers, and stare at a tree... it seems intricately woven. |
