| The Moody Blues – Eternity Road Lyrics | 4 months ago |
|
This song, like a lot of the 2nd half of this album (e.g., I Never Though I'd Live To Be A Million, Watching and Waiting), is sung from the perspective of a planet/the Earth as it travels through the cosmos. "Turning, spinning, catherine-wheeling" (rotating, as planets do) "Speeding through a charcoal sky." (planets move through space at an insane speed) "Carrying your heavy load" (carrying humanity/life - described more in I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Million) It might have a double meaning, similar to "Life's a Long Song" by Jethro Tull, or perhaps sung from humanity/life's collective perspective, but the main thing the song is describing is IMO a planet hurtling through space for all time. |

| @[jag216:54290] I totally agree! I've seen this interpretation elsewhere as well! This makes sense esp when you consider that "I Never Thought I'd Live To Be A Million," which is also from the perspective of the Earth/some planet, is the intro to this song! | |
