Lyric discussion by T-Crash 

Did anyone notice that here it says "if he only knew now what he knew then" and on Red Mosquito it says "if I had known then what I know now"? Any connection?

@T-Crash yeah, literally just a few mins before reading your comment, I realised it’s the exact opposite polarity of notion.. as we gain we lose, as we lose we gain, certain states yield for other states to manifest. Multitudinous perceptions & experiences are possible from specific constructs & configurations of consciousness, as they shift, so does our lived reality....Whether incremental, gradual unfolding, or explosive epiphanic paradigm shift awakenings ~ satori!

He knew something then, that he’s forgotten ~ he has ripened wisdom now, which he wishes could be applied in past events.

@T-Crash I’m open is the flow of maturation (in certain modern lifestyle context), & the past-tense realisation of loss of innocence, awe, magic & wonder in exchange for intellect, logic & peer congruency which inevitably becomes dry, dull, rigid & stagnant when not balanced ~ leading to the state of zombified numbness... Then the proclaimed invitation for the, remembrance, refreshing & rectification of this imbalance. Integration & harmonisation of once familiar instinctual states of flow, with the useful aspects of the learned left brain attributes. Leading to synthesis & synergism.. Wholistic functioning of being.. Dreams up a new self, for himself......

@T-Crash Red mosquito is more from the view point of adult life, aware of the karmic retributional sting of misconduct & wishing the ability to rectify misaligned doings & deeds of immature or ignorant folly, or missed & messed opportunities, stung by regret. (Then Presentence addresses the futility & wasting the present moment when wallowing in that state.)
