This song always moves me....and yet I haven't a clue what it's all about! The lyricist, Keith Reid, is inscrutable, and will go to his grave without giving us an insight not only into Barnyard Story, but all his other lyrics as well. Is there anyone out there who can shed some light onto this morbid, uplifting, arcane ditty?
@Evilcw54 The depression that follows the experience known as "Cosmic Consciousness", or, Satori, or other types of mystical/religious experiences that involve merging with god/universe. Although fairly rare, these experiences could be initiated with help from certain substances throughout history. The experience seldomly returns to those who have gone through it, hence the depressed thoughts. However, most people are forever changed due to the experience in various positive ways. These changes are also usually perceived by others as well. The most comprehensive study ever published on the subject is the book, "Cosmic Consciousness".
