Several lyrics are actually Zen Buddhist quotations and paraphrases: "When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself." —Shunryu Suzuki "When walking, just walk. When sitting, just sit. But above all don’t wobble!" —Lin-Chi For those who don't know, Zen Buddhism emphasizes present-mindedness, simplicity and not intellectualizing things. The interesting "bonfire" quote by Suzuki, taken in context, is about burning away one's ego so as to become selfless in one's actions. |
