This song is an absolutely gorgeous piece of art. The lyrics are all impressionistic, except for the section including the line "dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you", which basically is saying the rest of the lyrics are impressionistic.
Other than that, the title of the song definitely suggests a topic: Sunrise.
I was on a long drive home in the countryside one evening, listening to this song, and the topic - sunrise, really caught my attention. There were moments in my life when I happened to observe the earth is a miniscule body in the universe, and I'm just a flea living on the earth, in a universe much larger than I can imagine... And during the sunrise, the reality of our miniscule body dissapears in favor of an illusion that our earth, and the world of men, is vast. The sun is the giver of this life to us. The Sun was a reccurring topic in many Yes songs..
The sunrise is a mind altering experience... at at least, the first time you realize the depth of the song's meaning.
Again, it's impressionist... Arguably the best song of Yes. I get the impression that this song had an effect on them as a group - having written it. The lyrics on following albums very impressionistic..
The way they wrote songs was simply more meaningful, beautiful, powerful than other bands of less talent (and we need to thank the LSD community for providing the financial support to make it possible!) Heart of the Sunrise was the true sign, I think, that they had the rare ability to successfully complete these massive compositions.
How could you take any piece of that 11 minutes away... It's all so beautiful.
