Beijing
Silent Wisdom Amidst Chaos: Exploring the Depths of 'Beijing'
Lyrics
I'm digging a hole
I'm engaging in a task
In my back yard
In my own space
I hit rock and sprung water
I encountered an obstacle and found water
I dove in
I immersed myself in the situation
And ended up in Beijing
And unexpectedly ended up in Beijing
Stole me a bike
I took a bicycle without permission
Joined up with the monks
Joined a group of monks
Because silence
Because quietness is more valuable in current times
Is worth more these days
Than entities like AOL Time Warner
Oh Than AOL Time Warner
Or Martha Stewart stocks
Or Martha Stewart stocks
If you can get it
If opportunities arise, seize as much as possible
Grab as much as you can
And stash it away for future calamities
And hide it in your basement
Encouraging preparedness for the next disaster
For the next disaster
Silence for the next disaster
Advocating silence as a preparation for the next disaster
Oh and my guitar
Her guitar sounds pleasing
Sounds so good
For reasons she can't explain
Because I can't tell you why
And if distance makes the heart grow fonder
If distance strengthens emotions
Then oh look at you and I yea
Then observing the growth in affection between two individuals
Look at you and I
If you can get it
Reiteration of the advice to accumulate resources for emergencies
Grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement
Storing provisions in preparation for future crises
For the next disaster
A little perfection
Striving for a bit of perfection amidst chaos
During your disaster
Especially during times of disaster
So bring me down
Expressing a desire to be brought down
To where I can't see
To a state where vision is obscured
I'll pray for some medicine
Requesting for relief, perhaps in the form of medicine
Explain to you I'm lost
Clarifying her sense of being lost
You said you're not lost you're free
Receiving a response suggesting freedom, not loss
You said you're free baby
Emphasizing the idea of freedom
You're free
Reiteration of the notion of being free
You said you're free
If you can get it
Restating the advice to accumulate resources for emergencies
Grab as much as you can
Hide it in your basement
Encouraging the practice of storing essentials for future crises
For the next disaster
Yea during your disasters
Highlighting the importance of preparation during disasters
I'm digging a hole,
Repetition of the initial action of digging a hole
Yea I'm digging a hole
