I loved this song as a teen. Now I know why. It's about Advaita. About the direct search/inquiry into our true nature through "Who Am I". When we begin to free ourselves from concepts and thoughts we start to experience our true nature which is perceived as a strange new light. It's seeing life as it is and not how we've been taught. When we are free of concepts we experience bliss which is the answer to our life-long search.

The depth of spiritual understanding of whomever wrote this song is very advanced. Steve
