If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I'm spent with high treason
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Well I know he's not old
And I'm told, and I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
What I'm told and I'm never, never for certain
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger

"Take me to the pilot of your soul" is the soul (personified) of Sir Elton's song: clearly and cleaverly it sums up a somewhat complex equation of our existance, the sum of our very being. "Who", or what force, is the driver (pilot) of our souls? We define this through time and by searhing to find the answers. SOme of us are fortunate to realize (during our lives, via self-actualization (Maslow), what our fully reach our true potential; this is the blueprint of our souls. When we set aside fear, we can
be brave to define our truth. Once we reach a comfortable place with this journey,
the rest comes naturally.
Conviction of the heart is our true guide, our direct heading (moral compass) when we're faced with any challenges, both on the surface and from within. "The Human COndition" describes the joys and terrors of being humen. Once, or "if" we find our way back to our heart, the rest is magic.
On a light note: No need to go much further. "Take Me To Your Pilot" is an awesome rock song! One of Sir Elton's less heard pieces.
And literally nothing you said had anything to do with robv156's post, until your final paragraph (which isn't even correct; this was the B-side of "Your Song", so a helluva lot of people heard it back in the day, and it's still listened to by a lot of people, if YouTube and Spotify are anything to go by). Don't mindlessly rant anymore, please and thanks.
Never heard of this song before and I agree it is about transgender or someone with unexplained sexual identityand or preferences ... remember soooo long ago. Pretty bored pandemic.
If you feel my lust, I am your prisoner,
guilty for what I am about to do and
it's a violation of the sexes, against the natural order
Behind your eye glasses is your throne (your mind that controls your body)
Dangerous desires, thoughts, your lust - TAKE CONTROL OF ME ...
Take me to the Pilot (light, passion, fire) of your soul
Chamber = orifice to sodomize you
They are strangers meeting for the first time
A young virgin boy who dresses like a girl - but he can't know for sure
Take me to your passionate place so I can sodomize you.
That's it!
I really liked this song for almost 50 years and never knew what it was about. It saddens me to find out - well what would you expect from Elton? Of course it has to be obscurely written, twisted, because it is nasty - but it makes perfect sense.
