Thrasher Lyrics

Cover art for Thrasher lyrics by Neil Young

What a fantastic song! You can listen to it and discover new meanings, images and feelings as your life goes by and you grow up with it. Neil's songs often have more than one layer of meaning, so I think it can be both about his breaking up with CSN and about one's personal growth achieved by leaving your yesterday's world in search of your place in the world and your meaning to life. Can't say with worlds how much this song touches me and how much it means to me.

"It was then that I knew I've had enough Burned my credit cards for fuel Headed out to where the pavements turn to sand With a one way ticket to the land of truth and my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still don't understand" And the "timeless gorge of changes thing"...how great is that?
