The Who – Eminence Front Lyrics 6 years ago
This song's meaning is way deeper than most people think...

"The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget"
(It's referencing the "boat and wake" analogy, about the past (Just search"Allan Watts boat and wake" he explains it very well.))

Forget they're hiding
(It's referencing the fact that people forget they're hiding from their true self, behind the ego, wich is the universal consciousness, or god, if you may call it that)

The girls smile
And people forget
(Distractions, and pepople forget that fact)

The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they're hiding
(Same thing as the boat/wake, the skier leaves a track, but the track doesn't influence the skier. Same way the past doesn't create the future)

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
(Behind the ego (eminence front) it's a put on (life is a play)

Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill, dress to kill
(The human party, the human game. Dress (create and develop the ego) to kill it later.

Drinks flow
People forget
(Again, distractions from reality)


Honestly, if you couldn't understand what i pointed out, try to read something about buddhism/hinduism or just listen to some of the good old Alan Watss talks, and come back later to read this again)
