Cover art for Belly Button Window lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

I believe this song is a about reincarnation. He had a sense from the womb that he was not all that welcome in this world. He even alludes to not being born at all. "And even take a longer rest, before I'm coming down the chute again Man, I sure remember the last time, baby They were stlll hawkin' about me then" I wonder who he was the last time he was here?

In one of his other songs he talks about being here before and "I come back to find the stars misplaced". In this song he also talks about not coming down this way too much more again. So he is getting to the "old soul" part of his existence where he will no longer need a physical form. Jimi is still around, folks, and just as special as ever. That's if you believe in reincarnation.
