| Nine Inch Nails – Right Where It Belongs Lyrics

The true meaning of this song is not possible to understand unless you are on the same thought wavelength as trents. YOU MUST BE HIGH ON ACID OR MUSHROOMS OR POSSIBLY POT to understand it. This song is very literal. The world you know is an illusion. It's all empty. Think about it, an atom is 99.9% empty space, and since everything is composed of atoms, what does that say about you and your surroundings? We are not really here. This is the REAL MATRIX. This is all a simulation, and when you die you will simply opt out of the simulation and return to the spirit world. He mentions not knowing whether you really are the animal in the cage because we have trapped ourselves in a male ego dominant society, and the majority of people don't know how great our potential is yet. YOU AND ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOURSELF. And trust me, you do have that power...you just maybe don't know it yet. So when you look in the mirror, is it everything you want to see? So many of us spend our whole lives without knowing the meaning of life, but how can you find the woods if youre hiding in the trees? It's all right in front of you. You can look through the cracks. But you might find youre too afraid to see what the truth is. |

| John Lennon – Grow Old With Me Lyrics

I think this song can be interpreted in more than one way, which is the beauty of John Lennon music. Most people know that John Lennon (at least in his earlier years) was an advocate for drugs like marijuana, magic mushrooms, and LSD. And to an audience of people who have taken psychedelics like LSD and shrooms (like me) the lyrics may seem to allude to the feelings you get from an "enlightening" experience one can have while on these drugs. For instance the lyric, "When our time has come/ We will be as one" can be seen as meaning that after death our spirits will be one again and that we are all infact the same entity devided into human bodies while on this planet. I have no doubt in my mind that John Lennon, with the number of times he experimented with psychedelics, had the same enlightening experience as me, especially since he was reading "The Psychedelic Experience" by Timothy Leary, which is all about life after death and taking psychedelics to see "the truth". This could seem like over-interpretaion but I think John was suggesting that even after all those years since his first enlightening experience, he hasnt forgotten it and still believes it.....I'm not insane, lol, I just like psychedelics. |
