To me, the song is simply about appriciating life for what it is, and enjoying it. Lets take a look...
"Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see."
Anyone else notice that the colors mentioned are the traditional "skin tones?" What does that have to do with it? I'm not sure.
"As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend."
In other words, open your eyes to other possibilities... what you don't see. What you can't see.
"Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines."
Don't think... feel. Don't stay within the boundaries of society. This song means a LOT to me... so much that I can't put it into words.
"Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come"
Take things as they are.
"I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human."
Like I said... its about appriciating life.
"With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been."
Extra sensory... senses. Sense your enviornment. Simple, yet so very complex. Branch out... SPIRAL out.
That makes sense; this song may then be about the next step in the human evolutionary line, involving even greater capacities for perception and consciousness. Same overall message, then, as Forty-Six and 2.

Amazing, man. I've always wondered what this song is about and I don't think i would have ever come up with that kind of explanation but it makes so much sense. In addition, I believe he's just talking about having a spiritual connection while in this physical world.

i've read many times that the native austrailians first used to paint they're bodies black and white, and then they used the colors red and yellow....they say thats where it's inspired from...
