Taiyed Lyrics

SA's lyrics are as mysterious and weird as always here. Here's my crazy interpretation: he mentions the hereafter a couple times, so it's clear that he's singing about the afterlife or "next life," but here's the catch: the next life is your life, all over again. A lot of the lyrics seem to be from the point of view of someone who's awoken to find himself back in his mother's womb. It's very hot in the womb (like fire) but totally dark (like black space). He's swimming around in the dark, "developing" as babies do. It's simultaneously the next world AND a place he's been to before and is returning to. Nothing spells it out more than "This life an old place we face to live again," i.e. the next life is just a rerun of your first one!

Fess up, that totally blows your mind, does it not?
