Lyrics

Here I come, main line

Expressing arrival with a focus on a significant message.

Maintain super brain

Emphasizing the maintenance of a highly intelligent mind.

Crushed grapes from the vine

Metaphorical reference to extracting essence from life's experiences.

Searching for the signs

Actively seeking meaningful signs or guidance.

Like rolling thunder and the days

Comparing the search for signs to the power of rolling thunder and significant days.

When I'd ponder puff clouds over yonder magic dragon in the sky

Reflecting on nostalgic moments involving imagination and magical elements.


Two eyes, double rainbow

Describing a mystical experience with references to double rainbows, the sky, and night.

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

Two eyes, double rainbow

-

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

(Babylon falling)

Reference to Babylon falling and burning, symbolizing societal challenges.

Blaze through the night

-

(Babylon is burning)

-

Same city, same drone

Reflecting on personal change and the transient nature of life.

Scenery change but my zone stayed unknown

-

You were with me, now I'm not in control

-

Fold crash and crumble and I decompose

-

And run back to the grass

-

Back to the last moment intact

-

In a flash it'll be over

-

And we'll be back

-

Winter rain time

Depicting a lonely and introspective moment in winter rain.

Suns down streets are cold

-

I sold the last possession

-

And I'm all alone

-

Two eyes, double rainbow

Reiteration of mystical experiences with double rainbows, doves, and Babylon symbolism.

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

Two eyes, double rainbow

-

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

(Babylon falling)

-

Blaze through the night

-

(Babylon is burning)

-

Black heart, twist and turned

Describing a conflicted state of emotions and experiences, symbolized by a black heart.

Where the wild wind sings

-

Where the whirlwind burns

-

Where the madness rings

-

In the crisp night sky

-

Where the air might sting and bring the reasons why

-

Ancient child, I swim the Nile

Referencing personal growth and reclaiming freedom in the face of challenges.

With my rude boy style the wild child

-

I get lost for a while when I'm under attack

-

I took my freedom back and took the path unmapped

-

Two eyes, double rainbow

Continuation of mystical and transformative experiences.

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

Two eyes, double rainbow

-

Sly in the sky

-

Doves cry when I blaze through the night

-

(Babylon falling)

-

Blaze through the night

-

(Babylon is burning)

-

One day I might make it up

Expressing hope for future success and the pursuit of personal growth.

I might get it right

-

When I rise like the moonlight

-

Into the moon top night light

-

The room glows when my mind's right

-

So make room to take flight

-

We fly right

-

Up up and away we go

-

The rainbow's about to blow

-

When I go Han Solo

Touching on various themes, including freedom, introspection, and the pursuit of a vision.

Frozen in slow mo

-

Reference of the airflow

-

Remember ancient days with no clothes

-

Open doors to where freedom grows

-

And this man knows no no's just yes

-

Feeling blessed in this city that's depressed I jest not

-

Them get old sink and rot

-

Colder than frost

-

At all cost, and I toss and turn

-

While the kingdom burns

-

I yearn for freedom

-

From the demons we see them

-

Return to the land of redemption

-

Go tell ya henchmen we sent them

-

Into trenches hence my invention

-

Of a plan apprehension

-

I'm lending my soul for this

-

While many men search for bliss

-

I see the vision, it's my interest

-

Intellect can only take you so far

-

Intuition is the way to live stars

-

Rid them from the lids we stay open

-

Cast my line into the ocean

-

Come up for air when I'm floating

-

Through the clouds an explosion

-

So rain down on the creation

-

(So rain down on the creation)

Concluding with a call for positive change and creation.
