This song has meant different things to me over my life. Earlier in life I felt the tremendous pull of physical and emotional love, so strong I could disappear. Currently it is a metaphor for losing ones subservience to the ego ie. losing that particular sense of oneself, for feeling more of a connectedness with all living and non-living things, for reaching the final destination. When I die I hope to be in a state of enlightenment. How a person could write something so insightful, truthful and honest at such a young age just amazes me. Paul Simon is one of my heroes.
