I love reading these meanings on each song, I wonder how many folks love to read these posts as well.
I believe that Dave has made it to enlightment and this is his Magnum opus, actually Dave agreed and stated that this was his best piece of music ever at the Philadelphia Tour Stop.
This song is about the enlightened vs unenlightened / sanity vs insanity and their inability to coexist.
The song is an argument between the two parties and the fact that Dave includes both parties in the song expresses his enlightenment.
<THE ENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUAL>
One of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet <YOU WILL FALL>
One of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat <YOU MUST DIE>
One of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing <TIME DOES NOT EXIST FOR TREES OR ANYTHING IN NATURE, ONCE MAN IS GONE THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR IT>
One of these days their bombs will drop and silence everything <THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT WILL END>
<IT IS OK>
But it's alright
Yeah it's alright
I said it's alright
<THE UnENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUAL>
Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken <HEART BROKEN AND PRIDE STOLEN ARE THE LAST STEPS TO ENLIGHTENMENT>
Your pride has never been stolen <IT IS NOT AN EASY PATH, FRET WITH PAIN>
Not yet not yet
One of these days
I bet your heart'll be broken <HE IS WAGERING YOU TO WAKE, TO AWAKEN>
I bet your pride'll be stolen <BY TAKING THE RISK YOU WIN IT>
I bet I bet I bet I bet <JUST DO IT>
One of these days
One of these days
<THE ENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUAL>
One of these days your eyes will close and pain will disappear <PEACE>
One of these days you will forget to hope and learn to fear <LIVE IN THE NOW FORGET HOPE AND FEAR::: TO HOPE IS TO LIVE FOR THE FUTURE AND TO FEAR IS TO REMEMBER THE PAST>
But it's alright
Yeah it's alright
I said it's alright

I read the comments, most of them are very personal. They are all true, because they come from the heart. That's what true art does, from heart to heart. Namaste.
