the conscious vs the unconscious. Perhaps the fight or flight responses we choose. "Got a message I can't read" - this might be referring to the unconscious messages we receive but often do not have to ability to express. And when he says... I'm on your side Nowhere to hide Trapdoors that open I spiral down He means that his inner part woke him up. His inner self is on his side, the trapdoors are the psychedelic experiences we often overlook daily. Once he opens that door, he spirals down it, just like a rabbit hole. Once he gets to that state of mind, he is alienated from everyone. So he says.... I'm lost at sea Don't bother me I've lost my way I've lost my way As if he is trying to lie to people, telling them he "lost" his way. Except in reality he didn't. Its all a ruse to trick people that haven't woke up yet. You're living in a fantasy You're living in a fantasy You're living in a fantasy This beautiful world This implies that he is finally trying to convey his thoughts, emotions, and spiritual intuition to others. He wants them to see how beautiful the world really is. He wants to unbind them. He also starts shouting "come back!" as if maybe he is saying to the average Joe that average Joe has been lost all this time, and needs to return. Or, he could be shouting at himself, wanting himself to have restraints to reality so he doesn't get lost in fantasy land forever. |
