Things will never be the same
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one
Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause John and Jane would like to know
Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Enter the rolling tide
Over the ocean so wide
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one
Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause John and Jane would like to know
Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Enter the rolling tide
Over the ocean so wide
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story

Another interpretation of "lotus" is the ancient egyptian meaning. I read that the lotus flower closes at night and sinks underwater. It then actually re-blooms every morning (similar to morning glories?). It was known as a symbol of rebirth. This kind of fits with "Just a minute while I reinvent myself," one of srdkna's theories on nine: "a new way of life or thinking," and the line "let's do it all this time." It's like they messed something up, but they don't regret it because they're going to do it right this time around. Obviously this could relate to drugs or whatever.
I agree to your understanding of the meaning "lotus." It actually represents a a flower the grows and is beautiful even in murky waters. Sort of like a diamond in the rough. Also, the lyrics refer to the astrological connections in regards to the laws of light. If you look up the "golden dawn" and texts related to Aleister Crowley and you look up esoteric knowledge in reference to "the laws of light" which has to do with magic, you will come to see that these gentleman are making reference to the stories that have been told for thousands of years.<br /> <br /> These artists are far more deep than just a drug trip, but sometimes the only way that people can access this type of knowledge is through the use of drugs. <br /> <br /> They may feel that they are conveying messages to those who can hear. As you can see, not many can hear it.
