There are a few out there I'm sure who understand those lines and the context.įor those who seek a higher meaning and get their answer some/many/?most? find it in contradiction to what our society teaches about success. "I set my sails for winds of fortune but I hear the voices say.", "If I claim to be a wise man it surely means that I don't know", To the person who relates the song to people wanting recognition for their spiritual search I would offer an alternative interpretation:
That to me is the brilliance of the song: that it touches a common deep experience in the human consciousness. This is a theme that's repeated in many places throughout history and I suspect in many if not most lives. Specifically he mentions the desire to know "him or it". Steve from UsFrom an interview I found on the internet Livgren describes this being inspired by his search for meaning and understanding.Pretty much none of them except COWS were generally radio-playable due to their meandering nature, general spaciness, length, constant changes mid-song and so on (and obviously COWS was not only cut by bars but also sped up in several versions just for radio), but I think musically, this is a brilliant album. Though I love the song I feel that *the general idea* is so simple as to almost be childish.īy the way, I love all the songs on this album. It's every single person's mental struggle though we all think we're so unique in this - why is life so hard? Why do I so often feel I'm "different"? Why can't I just "behave" and do what I'm supposed to do? Is there a meaning to all of this? How come even when I plan, it seems like fate tosses me all around? I don't know, I really do think it's just that simple.
It's a life journey description.how difficult life can be but how a person should persevere, with a wrapup that there will be "peace" at the end - something I think pretty much everyone can agree on (either there's a heaven, or there's nothing.both equal peace). Mel from Los AngelesI'm surprised at a few of the more far-reaching interpretations on here simply because, while I usually am the first to look deeper (sometimes ridiculously deep) into lyrics, I always thought this one song was very clear-cut.almost simplistic.Anthony from Guadalupe, AzIt's used on the popular CW show "Supernatural".
