So we experience life now knowing what it is like since we are after the falls and we have experienced life, so instead of accepting it, we turn around and put up our walls. We drink from the river, then we turn around and put up our walls. Life is a waterfall just shows us that we are speaking of the river AFTER the fall at this point.
#Hypnotize song lyrics meaning free
Basically this part is saying, think big, don't think with a "small mind", think about the big picture, and it will free your life. This is a given, who wants to lose at anything? but when reality hits us, what happens? we find out that sometimes we have to lose, we can't win everything.Īerials are just things in the sky. We always want to play but we never want to lose When reality hits us, we don't always have this kind of control and we don't always get to choose what we get or what happens to us. Humans want to be in control generally, and we want to choose for ourselves and sometimes others. When reality hits us, we can't always get what we want and sometimes we do have to try and stay with what we have. We always want to go out and try to gain what we want, but we never stay satisified with it. Humans in general are never really satisfied, we always strive for more and we always want. When reality hits us, we can no longer "play" we have to "work" and "survive".Īlways want to go, but you never want to stay. We don't want to have to take things seriously, we want to just have fun and be kids, without responsibility, and living in happy ignorance. These descriptions of who we are is what makes the fall so devastating to us. This describes our nature during our time in the Void or before the actual fall takes place. It is the image of life and what we believe to be true that we are living out before we actually know, and then we "hear the words" (are educated about what really goes on in the world) and then the "fall" takes place while we deal with what we have found out. Since we are still swimming through the river of life, the void is the place right "before" the fall.
So this part is describing the actual fall of life.
#Hypnotize song lyrics meaning full
After we find out about life, we lose ourselves but we find it all, which means we are given the full picture of what's going on, so we find out about everything (or do we? that's why there's a question mark there). Following up on the previous meaning, we are probably finding out about the reality of life. Well when we hear the words, we are being told or educated something. We hear the words, we lose ourselves but we find it all. I'm going to skip to the second line to help you understand the first later. Then once we began figuring out how the world worked and what happens in the world, we probably had a time of inner conflict where we had to figure things out, and after we figured/figure it out can adjust to it and find ourselves again. When we were living as children with not a worry in the world, we were ourselves. Is that true for everyone? No, but think about it. So when we're one in the river, and we're one again after the fall, it shows we are ourselves before and after the reality if life hits us and brings us down. So if a waterfall is the acknowledgement of the terrible things in the world and letting it bring you down, what could the river be? The time before you realize what goes on in the world, often times this is your childhood. Another thing about a waterfall is that it never exists on its own, it always has a source, like a river or a stream. Isn't it true? The actual reality of the things that go on in the world, murders, rapes, death, it can really bring you down if you acknowledge them. They fall downwards, so life brings us down. Life is a waterfall, what do we notice about waterfalls? The lyrics rush you with several meanings at once. The band almost always says their songs are meaningless or about some random thing that doesn't seem to have great purpose, but if you also take a look at one of their goals, which is to help people to think for themselves, then you have to look past even their own words to find any meaning that they would have tried to plant there for us.Ī lot of their songs seemed to be based off of how they feel about things.
