I\'ll try my best to explain what this song really means given the context of the show and it\'s metaphysical implications. And I\'ll start with a quote from Terence McKenna.\n\n"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed."\n\nThat is what a duvet is essentially, a feather bed. And it\'s what Lain experienced by thrusting herself headfirst into the wired (internet), that once you\'ve gone all the way through it everything isn\'t so bad after all, that life is worth the trouble. The song is about facing hard truths and how we make life worse for ourselves and others by running away from obstacles. |
