Another Door
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Mike Gordon's 'Another Door' Tale
Lyrics
Swing around back, close your eyes,
Move around to the back and close your eyes,
Slip down the chute, fantasize,
Slide down a chute and imagine,
About which way to go when you come back around,
Consider the direction to take when you return,
Get that you?re running but don?t touch the ground,
Understand that you're in motion but not touching the ground,
Till? you get to a spot where you might want to be,
Until you reach a point where you might desire to be,
Might be above but could be beneath,
It could be above or below,
Well if you keep out the past of what?s in store,
If you avoid dwelling on past experiences,
Then you?ve come upon another door.
You encounter yet another opportunity or challenge.
You?ve got a lot to beg,
You have much to request or seek,
Maybe just ramble on through,
Perhaps just wander through without direction,
It ain't like the ghost a flyin?,
It's not like a ghost flying,
On past when the world is new,
Passing by when the world is new,
Nothing else seems like it did before,
Nothing appears as it did before,
Then you?ve made it through another door.
Indicating progress or passage through a new stage.
Now a new place, you?re running again,
Arriving in a new location, you're moving again,
This time someone?s around the first bend,
Encountering someone around the first turn,
So you jump up and fly and try to get away,
Attempting to escape, but others have similar strategies,
But the other brothers? got the same tricks to play,
Parallel situations with counterparts,
Climbing up higher you land on a tower,
Climbing higher and reaching a pinnacle,
And there?s one thing you find in the final hour,
Discovering a preference for shared experiences,
That you like flying tandem a whole lot more,
Coasting smoothly towards yet another opportunity.
And you coast through down to another door.
(Empty line)
You?ve got a lot to beg,
Perhaps just wander through without direction,
Maybe just ramble on through,
It's not like a ghost flying,
It ain't like the ghost a flyin?,
Passing by when the world is new,
On past when the world is new,
Nothing appears as it did before,
Nothing else seems like it did before,
Signifying progression through another threshold.
Then you?ve made it through another door.
(Empty line)
You run down the hill to someone?s yard,
Going over a cliff and falling drastically,
Went over a cliff, you're falling hard,
Someone else closely following your actions,
The other fella is feet right behind,
Unable to look back, treating it as a risk,
But you can?t look back and declare it a chance,
Landing in water while running over stones,
Splash in the stream when you're running on stones,
Beginning to feel isolated in your journey,
You start to think you might be running alone,
Attempting to hide but acknowledging reality,
You tunnel beneath but now you're sure,
Confirming your location by the presence of others,
Because you told me you were standing by another door.
Because you mentioned standing near another opportunity.
You?ve got a lot to beg,
You have much to request or seek,
Maybe just ramble on through,
Perhaps just wander through without direction,
It ain't like the ghost a flyin?,
It's not like a ghost flying,
On past when the world is new,
Passing by when the world is new,
Nothing else seems like it did before,
Nothing appears as it did before,
Then you?ve made it through another door.
Denoting movement through yet another threshold.
