Lyric discussion by TimboSlice 

Cover art for Up From The Skies lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

song is about aliens simple as that. he is talking in first person from an alien's perspective who wants to learn more about earth and its people. I love the part where he calls earth a people farm... clasic.

maybe thats how jimi saw himself, someone who didnt understand why people do things like say... keep slaves"I heard some of you got your families Living in cages tall and cold". and also waste their lives away by never striveng to acomplish anything,"And some just stay there and dust away Past the age of old."
