Seven Years in Tibet Lyrics

Lyric discussion by envelope 

Cover art for Seven Years in Tibet lyrics by David Bowie

"I hope you follow the symbolism so far as to how it relates to the lyrics." The peak of the mountain/"A" climbed is the head. I think what it means to say is that there is no higher authority than man himself; there is no God above and there is no "secret" gained at the top of the mountain...just a vantage point to look down from.
