A few days ago I read an interview with Brian Eno the other day and he talked about this song. He said that he realized he had never said "I love you" in a song so he wanted to write a song that started with "I" had "love" in the middle and "you" at the end. Thus, "I will lay my love around you." He also said he thought the lyrics were very autobiographical.
Having said that, I have always heard it as kind of like a love song to the world from a Buddha. "I live beyond interpretation", "I am the wheel", "I need no fact or validation". And then
"I was concealed.
Now I am stirring.
And I have waited for this time.
"
Anyway, apparently that's all wrong because the man himself said so but I thought I'd throw it in there anyway. :)

"A few days ago... the other day". Sorry guys, that's what I get for editing without proofreading.
