Twenty-Third Turn Lyrics

Cover art for Twenty-Third Turn lyrics by Elephant Micah

One of the greatest. The way the broken chords seem as if they are struggling to emerge from the guitar recalls the 5th line reference to "the pain of childbirth." I would love to know if there is any significance to the term "twenty-third turn" of if it's simply a random number that refers to our ever-repeating revolutions on "the wheel of human suffering."
