Won't let me edit or reply... Forgot to correct this in my post (as was already pointed out): "A soul in tension that's..." should be: "My sole intention is.." My comments were based on the correct lyric. |

"A soul in tension that's learning to fly" We are 'souls' (born of 'space'), that have awoken/arrived here on Earth, and have spent eternity trying to learn how to get out into 'space', back where we came from. We are already flying; 'reality' is the wind-swept field. "Condition grounded but determined to try" We are stuck 'here' because of our misconceptions about where 'here' actually is. "Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies" Always needing to get 'out there', not realizing we've already been and got the t-shirt. "Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I" The things we've learned, chosen to believe, and then consider 'known' have trapped us more completely on this planet. We, as a race, are confused and miseducated; repeating what we're told to believe to each successive generation, each generation having slightly less ability to think for themselves and discover REAL truths. |

Pink Floyd's music is almost universally about enlightenment, feedback, false-reality/perception, or a combination of the three. In Re: to "...the conclusion that i believe it is about being trapped in a trip.", The 'trip' we are trapped in is 'reality'. We are made of organs, made of cells, made of atoms. Atoms are simply interference patterns between freqencies of energy and are mostly "empty space" inside. WE are only frequencies and are mostly empty space, in this "3D reality"; even Einstein knew this. Gravity is a "symptom" of the fundamental force, as is EVERY other observation made. Without defining the fundamental force first, how can you attempt to explain anything that stems from it? We use magnets all the time, but still don't understand the actual mechanic behind the 'action at a distance'. That's because matter is not real, nor are emotions, left, right, up, or down. Man created ALL distinctions, empowered them with his "beliefs", and now calls them "truth" and "knowledge", which we pass on to an increasingly smarter, but less intelligent populace (more knowledge, less wisdom). Feedback diminishes over time, when it is not passed on. When we stop communicating, stop talking, to each other, we end the feedback loop, and the "human signal" begins to degrade. This began long before even the Great Pyramid was built and continues, today. "The Turning Away", present day. "Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies" There has to be more than 'this'. Ironic since noone convinced Man that 'this' is real in the first place; Man did so on his own and believes it to be true with no proof, other than the fact that it appears, to us, that this 'I' person is in control of our bodies. "Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit, I" Who is 'I'? Is 'I' your conscious or unconscious? Is there such a thing? How can you think universally, if everything you have been taught was defined in Earth-terms? If you can only control your brain approximately half of the time, who or what is running the place while you are 'gone'? Where do you 'go' to? Musical instruments make only 'noise', when their parts do not *work together* correctly. Basically, the factors involved in flight and a literal, flying, human being, more specifically, were created by our belief in this limited (and complicated) reality. When we learn a new inward detail of the system, we re-affirm what we already 'know', add some new garbage to it, and then proceed to look for answers to the newly created questions. We build a scaled-up plane, and have scaled-up factors to overcome. If gravity were nullified, a single human child could toss an airplane into space easily. Yet, in our stubborn and infantile way, instead of reducing gravity's effect on us, we strive only to increase lift beyond it. To learn to fly then, we need to remove our restrictions, not confirm and then attempt to overpower them. With this in mind, I invite you to re-listen to YOUR favorite PF song! Forget, for a moment, what you think/believe/know about the song, the way you have always remembered it, and why you feel that way about it; remove the distinctions you've created and try to see a new, more universal meaning in the intimately familiar place you thought you had already fully explored. |

To add to previous post: "such a basket case, hide the cutlery." This person is utterly consumed with destroying themselves; hide anything sharp. "I had time to kill, it's dead and buried." "I" tried to help, but has moved on, due to the hopeless nature of helping basket-cases. (They must want to help themselves) "You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy." Whenever you give up your free will, regardless of what you get in exchange, you will ultimately pay the price as your relationships suffer, drifting apart from friends and family, toward isolation, and eventually, suicide. "These creatures are waking up in these dark trees Waiting like vultures Eyes roll back turn white in time to feed" This involves the way dealers (and other users (fake friends)) appear out of thin-air when you have what they need; money to re-up for the dealer, and a fix for the fake friends. "They salivate with hunger For you and everything they need To make a death complete Completely unnatural" Organ failure, OD, who knows, but "they" will obviously use you until you are completely destroyed and unable to purchase, or dead, whichever comes first. "and salvation lies Behind those dead eyes that watch you while you sleep every night and" When we sleep, the conscious shuts down, and the unconscious takes over to repair and rejuvenate. The difference in priorities between our own conscious and unconscious minds is staggering. While you are awake, your unconscious is aware of and witness to your conscious behavior; in this way, it is watching you through the eyes you've let "die". |
