| The Alan Parsons Project – Dancing On A High Wire Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Much of the album is for me deeply about spiritualistic ideas of the ego vs the higher self, creation and the Creator and mans conflict with these - how we have drifted away from them/reject them/dismiss them - and that of mans dream-like scientific materialistic reality he more and more believes is the only reality, the one he lives and creates on Earth (illustrated by the chemical works here) - "The silver plated hero" This track, in this theme of "the life we live", has the message of how the masses now tow this line of living life without any spiritual connection (believe in freedom and charity as long as I get mine), denied it, rejecting religion/spiritualistic way of life or the "golden hearted whore" ...(the Madonna doesn't matter any more...Maybe she don't care)..and how we now need hard scientific evidence to believe (The odds'll give you zero...You need to be so sure..Maybe it just ain't there) how empty it is to be like this (a joke with no punchline... etc). "We are the same, with no similarity" - we are all connected to everything and everyone - a spiritual message that is being forgotten. We are "dancing on the high wire" for our spiritual selves accepting all this (We give in we call it neutrality), letting the ego dominate, heading for disaster. And we are becoming more and more like this "There used to be a lifeline There isn't anymore" |
