I love Yes. They are incredible musicians and singers however I wouldn't get too hung up trying to understand Yes lyrics. My understanding is they are all basically meaningless except in a real general way. They are written basically for how the words sound tonally. They are intentionally intricate, complicated and obtuse to match the incredible musical virtuosity throughout their music. Simple lyrics just wouldn't cut it in these songs.

@liverdude Oh, please not "obtuse". Maybe you mean "abstruse". Or maybe you mean "obscure". But surely you don't mean "obtuse". Look them up.
