it goes beyond these transitory elements.

this song is about the mind. it is about the idea that the world, the universe, and everything is a product of one's own thoughts and the mind has ultimate control over these things. he breathes as the world, he creates the waves, he creates all these things simply because he has a mind.

unfortunately, these sort of thoughts are taboo in a western capitalist culture, and subjectivism brings the belief that because you think outside the box in terms of the ideas-of-reality, then you are odd and you are afraid of yourself.

the mind is a powerful thing.
