Against the Nature

Well, I'm pretty late to comment on this. If you happen to be reading, enjoy my thoughts:

Well, I confess I had myself a good laugh Remembering times of My provincial naive When I was ready To break horns of all the cows Just to establish myself As non-conforming Well, time has passed And I look back with a different eye And thought it's time to Re-enlist with wonder-why-guy I reached-a for a pen to sign a peace treaty But suddenly got up And took to running wild

He's a grown up man now. He's no longer that young non conformist guy he was, now he's about to "sign a peace treaty with wonder why guy", which means in my opinion he's becoming more of a rational man. But he remembers his times as a young guy and wakes up, and "tooks to running wild".

Against the nature Against the grain For as long and as far as you can For only there lays entertainment For a heart of merry-lasting man

If you want to be happy and your joy to last, you need to go against the grain, against the stablishment (is that word correct in english?).

What do you do, my friend When you are done with Investigating bounds of reality? Creating hundred of amendments For each one of commandments Ready to shoot yourself Out of curiosity, But wait, there is a way - ain't nothing new to say

What do you do when you have nothing else to investigate? If you're a purely rational person, at some point you'll reach a moment in which you'll be tired, you will lose inerest. And that's when you're ready to shoot yourself, because you've been trying everything else, you feel like there's nothing new to do, that's the last thing that makes you curious. He is about to tell you that "there is a way", but you probably already heard that, there's nothing new about it. However... Just run against the grain.

However, against the nature Against the grain Run as long and as far as you can For only there lays entertainment For a heart of merry-lasting man Oh, merry-lasting man Oh, merry-lasting man

I wake up in a night Turn on my lamp Should contemplate, direction of my vector When I find small parcel from the Lord Fruit basket sprinkled with nectars And there I sit and my legs are strong All quiet, only voices dining fearsome I shove a piece of garlic down my throat Come on, hop down the stairs, come on You only eternal falls of reason

He wakes up, and he needs to keep thinking. He needs to keep reasoning. But suddenly he finds a fruit basket sprinkled with nectars. Why is that a parcel from the Lord? In my opinion what he's saying is, you don't have to look up for big things to find a meaning to your life, you don't have to make the biggest discoverments, you don't have to be a purely logical person. You can find divinity in small things, so small as a fruit basket. That's why it's a parcel from the Lord, because all little things in your life are divine. That's when he tells to himself: Come on, hop down the stairs. You can't be just an "eternal fall of reason", sometimes you just have to live, feel emotions, just do something spontaneous, you have to stop sitting in your bed contemplating direction of a vector and actually get up and move (and run, against the nature).

Oh, I needed so much to write that. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And, excuse my english please.
