I see this songs meaning to be much the same as "Blinded by fear", which is, in my opinion, about being forcefed a view on reality so as to limit human potential and impose systems of control and manipulation upon humanity in general. Saxe-Coberg-Gotha to Oprah Winfrey's puppeteers, after thousands of years, the revolution will be swift. =) Two words left out... DO IT!!!! |

Well, Ive been a big fan of this band for far too long, decided to join this forum just to add my interpretation of this paticular song. "We are blind to the worlds within us, waiting to be born" To me suggests "We are unaware of our own human potential" "I Cast aside my chains" This in my opinion is what the entire song is about. Casting aside the mental barriers that have been placed on us throughout our lives by various things (religion, education, government, reality, society etc. etc. etc.) and getting down to realising our pure unadulterated and unique selves, if that is at all possible anymore. "Fall from reality" Falling from the imposed reality of ourselves we have been conditioned to believe? "Born of the demon sky Twisting reality Sweet nauseating pain Is death the only release?" Death the only relief from the twisted dreamworld we've been led to view as reality? "Now covered with scars Humanity exiled" Humanity exiled from knowing itself and its true nature, through a lifetime of conditioning and control? I see this song as a celebration of liberation from the imposed reality we have been manipulated into since the beginning of time. Just my interpretation. =) |
