check this out, its a quote by alan watts... renounded philosopher, mystic, zen, and buddhst.... he states in a lecture about "the value of 'psychotic experience'" that....
"the attitude we have to have in regard to everything deviant, psychotic, and weird. Because we are not sure what's right, who's sane, which end is up. In a relativistic universe, you don't cling to anything, you learn to swim. And you know what swimming is. It's a kind of relaxed attitude to the water, in which you don't keep yourself afloat by holding the water, but by a certain giving to it, and it's just the same with relationships to people all around. "
i think that if you look into this quote and into the lyrical content of the song you will see the connections are bold... intended or not, it still is intresting =)
spiral out, keep goin!
