Learning To Fly is about becoming aware of our thoughts, awakening, and they were ahead of their time and are still relevant. For example: "Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night, There's no sensation to compare with this, Suspended animation, a state of bliss." An out-of-body experience that can happen spontaneously for eg. listening to music, by way of (Tantra) Yoga routine, or perhaps drug induced (and becoming Comfortably Numb to sedate the experience of awareness). A Kundalini experience when it rises up the spine ecstatically and your soul/essence/lightbody exits out your 3rd eye or crown chakra while your body lies sleeping. You/mind/essence goes through a gray area then settles in a holding area. You are imbued/made up of an energy that can only be described as love; it responds to your thoughts because you are your thoughts; bounce and you feel it, etc. You realize you're a soul. You are 'above the planet' above your head as it were with no direction... you have to try to get your bearings. "Out of the corner of my watering eye" is that you have eyes to see but no corporal body... this is similar to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" (replete with zen terms like 'wasted land') not about the place but about a trip to the astral "with no provision but an open face" with your mind thoughts only. PF other song "Keep Talking"... "Why won't you talk to me, You never talk to me, What are you thinking, What are you feeling, Why won't you talk to me, You never talk to me, What are you thinking, Where do we go from here," is about the thoughts you have in your head when you become aware of your thoughts; it's a if a dialogue is going on between you (asking questions) and your Higher Self (your true self); you may even experience "blinking" "yes" "no" "maybe" (depending on what you believe), after you have finished a thought, and Suddenly songs and words have two meanings.. for eg. a love song could be about you talking to yourself. The Beatles "Let It Be" is about this internal talk (Robert Plant calls it the ceaseless roar on his new album), sometimes you ask yourself a question and don't have the answer so just let it be there will be an answer (I've had to google alot!). I know it sounds a little weird or crazy but the band can vouch for this explanation. By way of comparison, Led Zeppelin's "Going To California" is not about the place, it's about a trip (probably drug induced hence "jet plane") to the astral aka the 4th/5th dimension to find his soulmate; "I think I might be sinking" is falling out of the blissful state. "Ride a white mare" is Pegasus the couple's horse, "in the footsteps of dawn (or dome) is the 3rd eye (inner seeing); "wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today" is when you are (up) in this bodiless state you are your thought one thought at a time, no past, no future, positive thoughts appear to expand you and vice versa.
