Two Wheel Tuesday: Zeitgeist






Sometimes we don't know what the lyrics mean. They could be this, or... they could be that. The same words, written in the same order might have this meaning to one person, a different meaning to another. Interpretation is not black and white, cut and dry; it is a mix of colors, shades and tones. Life experiences, ethnic background, social standing, net worth play their part. Some more, some less. Shaping how we listen, what we read. Ignoring the title I think he is saying, singing this or... maybe that:

"Astral engines in reverse
I'm falling through the universe again
Down among the dead mans vision
Faded dreams and nuclear fissions span

The strings of fear they are holding up the race
The puppets falling to the ground
The love I feel as I fly endlessly through space
Lost in time I wonder will my ship be found

On this sinking ship I travel
Faster than the speed of life
Not so super nova burns
The black holes turn and face from sight

The strings of fear they hide within the human race
The answers buried underground
The love I feel as I fly endlessly through space
Los in time I wonder will my ship be found

And very soon
The boundless moon
Will show us light
And as we crash
We'll pray and kiss
And say goodnight
Goodnight"

Like a song listened to on the way home, wrapped in the tune but not the meaning, I had no clue what to write, no deeper meaning reflected in the ride imprinted its impression. The sun shone, the breeze whispered, birds sang, raccoons scurried, and we rode.
