It is my interpretation that this song references personal growth of the senses and the spirit. The lyrics clearly explain to me that preoccupation with yourself will inevitably bring you to a comfortable, creative state of being where you can connect to a deeper place within yourself. It also alludes to the benefit of being vulnerable to also achieve this goal. I think other obvious themes in this song are the need for open mindedness and having an aggressive attitude toward finding the better parts of ourselves while letting go of the hindering ghosts of our pasts. I think this song beautifully, symphonically encompasses all of the tool, specifically Maynard's lyrical propaganda that we all have unique talents and gifts to give one another. I think this song is another opportunity they use to remind us of that. Thank you!
