'64 AKA Go Lyrics
Go.
And so I went, alone.
East, west, east, west, east, west, east, west
I went through out the land
and hour to hour the days went by,
from dawn to setting sun.
East, west, east, west, east, west, east, west
Near and far the desert sand,the mountain crest.
I knew someday I'd face the test.
And sure enough..
< a series of overlapping clipped words 'dangerous, here,fear,turn, burn, big,turn, black, ending with and echoed Why>
A moment later.
At so at last I understood.
Go.
East, west, east, west, east, west, east, west
I went through out the land
and hour to hour the days went by,
from dawn to setting sun.
East, west, east, west, east, west, east, west
I knew someday I'd face the test.
< a series of overlapping clipped words 'dangerous, here,fear,turn, burn, big,turn, black, ending with and echoed Why>
Go.

"Fly" is actually echoed instead of "Why".
Go is about (I believe) just being, and not necessarily need to be looking for a purpose.
"And so at last I understood. Go."
He realizes he doesn't have to be looking for a purpose. He looked everywhere,"East.West.East.West." But then he has the realization right after, "...A moment later"
I hope this makes sense.
Has the lirics exploid the perspective of time and space(...near and far the desert sand,the mountain crest..., from dawn to setting sun..).The meaning from a humanist point of view is the experiencie of jorney without direction. The challenge is to be tested by all factors. And the last frase("A moment later.At so at last I understood. Go."), express the learned lesson, quest that we set to our life are the meaning:
Keep Walking ; )
