Ed Is a Portal Lyrics
Ed is a portal
Ed is a portal
And damned if we don't try
To sort of relinquish the reigns our
Brains their mass has gravity
Pulls us into and away from
Portals such as Fractal Ed's
Mysterioso displacement
Proportioned anti subtle bubble
Gun unarmed the torsos run but they
Cannot grasp, they're brainless foot fast
Past and present
Large and lovely
Static quagmire
Lonely loco
Taco truck of
Mind space plosives
Pliable and potable
Refillable reusable
Ed is a portal
Ed is a portal
And damned if we don't try
Now don't start that shit
That pit-er-pat bit bout
Shamanistic shaker spells and
Alpha beta grammar slides
Water belly floppy drivin
Stoneless skippin' Brother John the
Headless one bathes Baby J the
Chosen one a portal dripped down
From the sun, portals dripping
Liquidating
Hydrogen
Ballooning relief
(The) mountains are steep and
Our feet are wet
But then not yet
Our bellies changin' like
Leaves arranged and
Sent to loved ones
Once marked they've begun
To delineate and define space
Gracious gracefully we face up
To leaking sons and
Laser beam guns but
(Primordial mantelope)
Primordial man, the antelope hunter
Made his weapons out of sticks
Thinking drinking from the sun
Her moonbeams birth mercurial babies
Antelopes run free and the sea it returns me
To all of the places that I have known
Now that my body's grown the lonely heart poetry
Droning in hearts becomes songs that all objects
Sing to each other like friends telling stories
It's all the same story
And Ed is a portal
The immorals gently awaken
All possibilities open
Unto one another
And brothers and sisters begin
To see truly through strata
Ed is a portal
And damned if we don't try
Brains their mass has gravity
Pulls us into and away from
Portals such as Fractal Ed's
Mysterioso displacement
Proportioned anti subtle bubble
Gun unarmed the torsos run but they
Cannot grasp, they're brainless foot fast
Large and lovely
Static quagmire
Lonely loco
Taco truck of
Mind space plosives
Refillable reusable
Ed is a portal
And damned if we don't try
That pit-er-pat bit bout
Shamanistic shaker spells and
Alpha beta grammar slides
Water belly floppy drivin
Stoneless skippin' Brother John the
Headless one bathes Baby J the
Chosen one a portal dripped down
From the sun, portals dripping
Hydrogen
Ballooning relief
(The) mountains are steep and
But then not yet
Leaves arranged and
Sent to loved ones
Once marked they've begun
To delineate and define space
Gracious gracefully we face up
To leaking sons and
Laser beam guns but
Made his weapons out of sticks
Thinking drinking from the sun
Her moonbeams birth mercurial babies
Antelopes run free and the sea it returns me
Droning in hearts becomes songs that all objects
Sing to each other like friends telling stories
And Ed is a portal
All possibilities open
Unto one another
And brothers and sisters begin
To see truly through strata

This song is great, even better live. As for a specific meaning... fuck if I know. Its about Ed, and he is a portal.
I think "ed" is short for education. Just think about if it this song was about education.
That makes way too much sense to not be the answer. Way to go!

Such an amazing song.
Such an amazing song.
best song in 2007. oh...by the way...I don't have any idea of what the lyrics mean and I'm not sure they have a meaning in the first place.
great, addicting song, though.
The last verse should say 'immortals' not 'immorals'. i think thats an important thing to know if you want to get the full effect of the song
Maybe I'm being a bit romantic with the meaning but here's my take: Ed's a drug dealer. It makes a lot of sense when you listen to it from that pov. People cut on that idea all the time. But I think the band members get high probably a lot for creative purposes. Not just to light up to kill time. You have to respect that. I'm curious to see if anyone agrees with that.
It's a dream of a collective unconscious springing forth into consciousness that I think humanity strives towards.
A realization of man's past as antelope hunter, present as scientifically enlightened being with laser guns, and potential future in the stars that can only be achieved if we begin to see one another not as Jews or Arabs or Americans or Syrians or Africans but as human beings that once used to be able to simply dance around a bonfire.
In other words, throw off the chains of the abstractions that separate us, and begin to live in the world of possibilities that exists if such a world becomes true. Humankind living as brothers and sisters, seeing through strata.
Damned if we don't try!
Dead is Immortal...
