Red Lenses and Anagram.

 

They're so deep that no one can figure out what they're really about...

Well I sure know one thing dude, there's no safe seat at the feast, man :smoke:

 

Anagram's lyrics have definite religious overtones...it's about...something...

Lonely things like nights,

I find, end finer with a friend

 

That second part is pretty clever.

 

The best:

Reasoning is partly insane

Image just an eyeless game

Some hard choices, so many to pick from. Here are a few that come to mind right away. Deep but for different reasons. Some personal reflection, some world reflection.

Freewill

Rock your shoes ’til you lose your cool

Shake your soul, yeah, lose control, yeah

You can’t fight it! 
You can’t fight it!

 

Now we’re gonna see some real pounding!

Red Sector A....I read the lyrics to a holocaust survivor patient of mine some years ago and all he could do was cry uncontrollably. His survival story along with his sisters is recorded in The Holocaust Museum in DC. His mother, father and another brother did not survive the ordeal.

Natural Science has always struck me as the “deepest” song in a catalog full of deep songs. There’s just so much in there, including stuff that even diehard fans miss. References to the ego versus mass consciousness, for instance. And an allusion to the heady concept that our whole known universe could be a microscopic pebble in relation to something much larger which it may be a part of. Those references are just in the first part of the song. In the later parts, Neil goes into two of his favorite, often reoccurring themes: technology run amuck, and the importance of living with personal and artistic integrity.

 

Freewill is another deep song, but simpler and more streamlined. How many times have my friends, family, or I quoted “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice”? A lot of times.

La Villa Strangiato

 

"Patty-cake, patty cake,

Mother's going to buy you shoes,

Father's going to buy you socks,

Baby's going to have red cheeks."
