When the time is right and the night is bright,
We will see the things we've come to find,
I've been searching for just a little more,
Though the days girl just slip away,
And the red sunset that we just met,
I can see forever,

Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,
Come and see the mind's eye,
Transfixed upon the why,
Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,

Well they say it's right if it feels alright,
When your love burn up in the mire,
So I burnt a fire for a lost desire,
See it burning higher,

Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,
Come and see the mind's eye,
Transfixed upon the why,
Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,

Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,
Come and see the mind's eye,
Transfixed upon the why,

The mind's eye,
Right now,

Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,
Come and see the mind's eye,
We can find it if we try,

    General Comment:the pineal gland in the brain is reffered to as the "minds eye" which produces small amounts of DMT naturally, which is believed to be the reason why people have very visual dreams.
    DMT is also extracted from a certain plant, and can be smoked for an extremely intense phycadelic trip.
    this song sounds alot like a potential DMT trip.
    thats just my opinion tho
    culd be about something else :P

    General Comment:A child's rhyme stuck in my head
    It said that life is but a dream
    I've spent so many years in question
    to find I've known this all along

    General Comment:well, i like to think of wolfmother as the modernized equivalent of led zeppelin; amazingly done, amazingly written, just as zeppelin, but having characteristics of modern "rock" [being catchy, clear obvious lyrical direction (for the kids who eat McDonnalds as MJK once said)].

    Bands like wolfmother tell me that modern music stull has some hope.

    and this song is absolutely beautiful...makes me want to cry.

    songs like this [songs about love] make me happy. "love" in this modern age are dominated by stupid "emo" bands screaming about being depressed because of some girl. they are dumbing the experience down so much...real music comes dirrectly from emotion, it takes REAL musicians like these guys to turn it so beautifully into music..


    im not sure if my lil rant back there made much sense, so im sorry if i didnt...

    General Comment:i'm not sure completely about the meaning of this song, but. this song is...wow. it reminds me so much of an aboslutely beautiful trip i had one time on shrooms.

    that one line, "transfixed upon the why" just blew me away. i got stuck in one of those "thought loops" when i was tripping, and i got stuck on the question "why?" i eventually just came to the realization of "because", but that's kinda beside the point.

    anyway.

    also. supposedly, psilocybin, the main chemical in shrooms, is supposed to open the 6th chakra, the "third eye" or "mind's eye"

    i'm sure this song has a different personal meaning for everybody, like most songs i guess, but to me this song is an amazing reminder of a beautiful, spiritual, eye-opening experience.

    kinda sounds like a relationship based on sex - moral: it cant save a relationship. maybe he has already found something more but he goes to these measures 2 keep the antagonizing relationship - burns a fire for a lost desire - an illegitimate relationship bcos he doesnt luv tha person he's with, however - he can "see it burning higher" hmmm

    mad song
