bcuz, he says look at the sky, turns a hell fire red,
like ones eyes, then he says someones house is burning, down down, like a joint would
.when i was rly high i thought
of that when i was thinking of my eyes, and it hit me like a jesus epiphany, i was like the eyes are the sky, and
it looks over everything, like hes high in the clouds, and hes burnin a joint down, and everyones like "why did u
get him high" and jimi and his pal were smokin, and it was ten miles high, and everyone was cryin cuz they were
ashamed that he smoked, who symbolize the older generation, and hes askin the 60's and free spiritedness, the
woman, why he did this to him and made him burn, and burn down the old american values of his home, and hes sayin
that the 60s and new age spirit came and took all the old people's attitudes in their wake, like how the ppl
stopped beleivinin nam and shit
"brothers" doesnt signify love between black people, jimi hendrix saw everyone as an "earthling" .
if you know a bit of his biography you should know he didnt make a big deal of racial colours at all

"He shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the sky I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah."
As typical with Jimi, he throws in some science fiction at the end to describe the dead souls departing earth.
Incidently, what a great crying guitar sound on this song!!!
