Lyrics
Oh just to pass the time till you get to tussle my hair
To pass time until receiving affectionate gestures like hair-tussling
(Right turns to left and north disappears once more)
Observing changes in direction and disappearance of familiar landmarks
(10 15 5 12 4 18 5 23 I'm free)
Expressing freedom through a numeric sequence (possibly a code or personal significance)
I somehow got locked up in the Buddhist's sacred lair
Feeling confined in a place associated with Buddhism
So let those bright eyes lead me out of this plight
Hoping for guidance from someone with bright eyes to escape a difficult situation
(Right turns to left and north disappears once more)
Reiteration of directional changes and disappearance of the north
(10 15 5 12 4 18 5 23 I'm free)
Repeating the numeric sequence, emphasizing freedom
Though your two eyes are why I'm here tonight
Attributing the presence at a location to the attractiveness of someone's eyes
Told just to wait wait a moment, but moments have come to pass
Waiting as instructed, reflecting on the passage of time
Whatcha gunna find if you're always looking backwards
Encouraging forward-looking behavior instead of dwelling on the past
Maybe Memories, but the message never transferred
Acknowledging the difficulty of transferring memories or messages
Time has stopped in the dark room
Perceiving a pause in the progression of time, possibly in a contemplative setting
As I'm choking like a fool
Experiencing a metaphorical choking or struggle
Run around to exit the Wapta Monastery
Attempting to leave a specific location, the Wapta Monastery
All of their eyes are turned on me so I smile unsure
Feeling observed and responding with an uncertain smile
So let those bright eyes lead me out of this plight
Reiterating the desire for guidance from bright eyes
(Right turns to left and north disappears once more)
Continuing the theme of directional changes and disappearing landmarks
(10 15 5 12 4 18 5 23 I'm free)
Repeating the numeric sequence, underscoring the sense of freedom
Though your two eyes are why I'm here tonight
Emphasizing the presence at the location due to the attractiveness of someone's eyes
What a simple price to pay to understand the vairocana way
Considering the worthiness of paying a simple price to understand a specific way (vairocana)
(Right turns to left and north disappears once more)
Repeating the theme of directional changes and disappearing landmarks
(10 15 5 12 4 18 5 23 I'm free)
Reiterating the numeric sequence, reaffirming a sense of freedom
Whatcha gunna do when you're always looking forward
Encouraging forward-looking behavior despite uncertainties
All our premonitions say the future you in cornered
Acknowledging foreseen challenges in the future
Time has stopped in the dark room
Perceiving a pause in time and struggling metaphorically
As I'm choking like a fool
Experiencing a sense of choking or difficulty
Run around to exit the Wapta Monastery
Attempting to leave the Wapta Monastery again
