Love this Sabbath song. To me its meaning is simple.....be free, master of your fate, live for today, and don't let the world or your society or social groups hold you back. Live free in your mind and spirit and find what's really important to your life.
Its just a typically rebellious message but not cloaked in negatively or violence or rebellion. Its positive just saying take charge of your life, don't let "the man" or society or corporations enslave you to their ideologies. Think for yourself and be free. But also find out what your real identity is separate from all that. I think knowing how much society and drugs and corporations have brainwashed us all that we hear that type of thing....thats theres no secret to happiness but finding oneself separate from all the BS out there. Its a great message.
There has been a lot of negative aspects of metal bands and connections to rebellion, anti-war, anti-gioernment, satanic symbolism, violence, drugs, etc. over the past 40-50 years. I think as this band has grown they are now breaking free of all that and looking for universal messages that connect with everyone and this one is a perfect example of that. Good job Black Sabbath!
