What a great song, seriously. I've heard songs that were spiritual and well put together but this song just keeps getting deeper and deeper and its sucking me in. It's a very rare talent to be able to tie phrases together so beautifully and then to afterward fill it in with near-perfect music. But back to the interpretations, I agree with Light bulb101 about the man being "Christlike". In literature, a character that is introduced as barefoot is often considered to be christlike. Also, I feel as though the white robe is a sign of god as well, and that when i imagine this song, it feels like the first half is based in a night time, and a man walking down the street with a white robe almost sounds glowing. But the real thing that sells me to believing this man represents god is "On top of his head placed a box with two slits". The two slits experiment is designed around cutting two small slits in a small piece of something slightly thicker than paper, or at least thick so light wont shine through except the slits. If light is shone on the slits with a surface behind it the light not only lines against the surface in the shape of the two slits, but spreads out like waves. If you are more of a visual learner, the two slits experiment can be shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc With the two slits on the top of his head, things can come out of his head and wave across, spreading. Your head can produce, ideas, taste, smell and sight but it also contains your brain commanding your body what to do. Everything done by you is related back to your head. The two slits is talking about a christlike figure demonstrating to the world how to live life in my opinion. As for the "I do not exist" part, I am still wondering what he could be getting across. This is all just my interpretation of this, please feel free to comment back with any comments or disagreements. |
