To me, the song is simply about appriciating life for what it is, and enjoying it. Lets take a look... "Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see." Anyone else notice that the colors mentioned are the traditional "skin tones?" What does that have to do with it? I'm not sure. "As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend." In other words, open your eyes to other possibilities... what you don't see. What you can't see. "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines." Don't think... feel. Don't stay within the boundaries of society. This song means a LOT to me... so much that I can't put it into words. "Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come" Take things as they are. "I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human." Like I said... its about appriciating life. "With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been." Extra sensory... senses. Sense your enviornment. Simple, yet so very complex. Branch out... SPIRAL out. |
