My first impression of this song is that is is all about the epiphany. No matter what you try to figure out about your life or future, you are either way off, or really have no idea the magnitude of what will happen. With this song Dr. Frank is just kind of saying a 'chill out and just let it fly, becuase either way its going to be a total suprise' type of thing. At the beginning of the song it talks about being steady and getting going, where as the end speaks of discretion as a waste of time. It stages growing up. You begin by building yourself as a person(first verse), then you become comfortable with it, inspired, and infuential (second verse) and then you just decide that it hadn't worked out as you planned (verse three) and through it all everything worked out. The big strange beautiful hammer? Life!
