Cover art for Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of a New Day) lyrics by Jethro Tull

Man's existence in modern times is accented by meaninglessness and alienation from the true, primordial purpose of life. In addition, many move through this life in cavalier disregard for the qualities of its inexorable brevity, allowing their attention and intents to be (dangerously) diverted by means of leisure and shallow entertainment, from finding that purpose.

@sirdon Good analysis.
