Round two. Going for flawless victory. So, yesterday we started going thru "COMING DOWN" and it's been a ride. In that first part of this song breakdown we got into where the song came from (backstory), and the meaning of the title kinda but we'll hit that part again... also got into the song images, kinda what they mean and where they came from and a bit of the sound or style-- rather the influences on the sound... So, i guess there's nothing left but the lyrics. I'd say strap in, but today's not really a day for being tied down. We take lyrics very seriously because, well, words are fun. Especially when you add in dialects, slang, how words can be pulled and twisted... the vibrations and intention of each letter/character.... it's just... cool. Applying that with the vibration of sound (because words are sounds, only you make the sounds) is a powerful thing. that power we respect, and also think every artist, anyone who's gonna step up and play with the vibes like that, manipulate the frequencies and energy... you need to respect that shit. If you're in it for the money, yeah, that's something to do, but i dunno.... as judgmental as it is to say, that's kinda the wrong thing to be in it for. It's like a waste.
Diving right on in..... So we'll go Chorus which is really the deepest part or at least that's what i'm thinking, and then the track art and link to play the song... and then some of the verses after that, because some of it is more interesting to me to explain, while other parts seem pretty basic and easy to get... and end with the text video. If you're scrolling you can tell where you are by the blocks.
Breakdown of the Chorus
So the chorus is:
"And i pray y'll forgive
this way we came up
and coming down
maybe we'll be saints again
but here and now
as the rockets rise
life dizzys down
to piles of ashes
once
my
friends"
((rolling sleeves up))
"and i pray y'll forgive"... prayer is just a sincere communication Being and BEING, you as the end result and SUPREME BEING as the starting point. It goes both ways, but whatever for that. So a pulse from your point goes out and is received. A pulse comes back down and is received. The constant pulsing is called vibration. Since it's between the two points with no interference, and the intention of the two points is to communicate with each other, then you're on the same vibe. Of course you are, you're the same thing. So, pulsing, or prayer, or talking to self... Higher self lower self. Self talking to self. But praying to it places you inside of the thing you're focused on in the prayer. Dig it man, it's really you, but since you've detached your self from the wholeness, which, dig it, it's a sweet vacation... ignorance is bliss... having things is more fun than being things sometimes, because you can have a beer or be a beer. Get it? Really, you're both, but right now you're BEING expressed as YOU having a beer. To the beer you're BEING expressed as YOU (a beer) being had and hopefully enjoyed, and if they're going to waste you, FUCK that FOOL UP! BWAHAHHAHAAA. You dig me tho. One illusion complete BEING has of escape what it is (what you are), COMING DOWN in vibration and frequency, in form, in mind, etc. to become something else... hence this vacation... I know, this is just the first line of the chorus.
Ok, so, "Y" is the whole coming down process, as well as the going up process, and pretty much explains everything that is. It's the way things flow. Y is WHY everything, as well as HOW everything and anything. Maybe that's why the Flux Capacitor was kinda in the shape of a "Y".... hmm.. whatever. The Flux Capacitor being the thing that makes time travel possible in that time machine, and time travel being the movement of a consciousness or form of BEING BEing Being from one moment of focus to another point of focus. To COME DOWN to any and all levels of vibration and BEing or Being (which is BEing Being)... You focus on that one point, or you GROUND yourself to that one point. So you're COMING DOWN TO THE GROUND. Y fall to the ground. That's the short version of that, get it? Down to the anchor, the roots, the garden where the trees grow with or without understanding of lack or abundance, they're just BEING... BEing The Ground. Anyways, so "Y" is two points meeding in a center and from there, both at once as one COME DOWN. You pull the FIRE from one side of complete BEING and the WATER side of complete BEING to one center point (the center of the Y, the heart of why) and from there you just fall. You lower your vibration and frequency, you simplify, to the vibration and way of BEing that one point you focused on. It's the grounded point. The ground keeps you there, along with your mind focused on BEing [at] that point, which is how you have your individual mind, separate of the complete full mind of Pure BEING. The vacation is you making your lower self... and in that, making your lower self ignorant (able to experience lack/void/darkness) to pure BEING (higher self) so that you can escape and be a lower self which has waaaaay less to do and because of that has waaaay more "fun". From the ground, Y, the bottom point, the point rooted in the ground ASCENDS or goes up, grows up... to the point it sees the full point it came from, and then it can understand either part of the TOP of Y (the split) into Fire and Water. Read that "Book Of The Fire". The Book of 3's breaks all of this down. Moving on... moving on... arms inside of the car please... hold onto your belongs, or lose "your mind", your choice....
"... this way we came up.." That's a multiple meaning phrase. It stands alone as a sentence but is also linked to the one before it. Standing alone "...this way we came up.." one way to explain, would be basically ascension (coming back up to one), "this is how we gain our bits of higher self back and grow back into the god level (the full complete BEING aka "Y"). If "Y" (the two points at the top, joining in the center as they come down, and the combined point comes down) then the mirror of that is how it goes back up. It's the same process, only starting from the ground. From the ground you focus on being one. Being focused on pure complete BEING. Joining this with the line before it... So to pray, as touched on but not in that religious figure sense because that would be touching on prey (oooh, shots fired, man down)... PRAY is to communicate between self and one focal point of self which self views as a more pure way of being. In a nutshell. So since Y is where and how and why we COME DOWN, if it forgives or understands, then it allows what is understood to COME UP. For example. If you look down at an ant... you have to focus your BEING on the ant Being. You come down to the level of the ant. ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND IT, that understanding of that way of being is complete, and so that energy or understanding COMES UP to you who is focusing on it. As far as the energy and understanding, it's a pulse down from you and a pulse up from it. It's a vibration between the both of you. Coming down and coming up. Praying would create a pule from the ground, like send a signal that it's ready to come up... its open for that type of communication and understanding of that point to be returned. So, once Y'll forgives (understands) the version of it that has come down, then that grounded version comes back up. Forgive pretty much means to stop honoring debt or currency which has been removed from you which belongs to you. So you no longer recognize your self as incomplete... or you understand your full self again. Yes, right now a cartoon clown is talking to you about a song a cartoon clown wrote from talking to a kid who was aborted in a bar one rainy night. Nothing more, nothing less.
2nd MEANING, "...this way we came up..." is about "coming up" vs "being raised". Coming up is way you GROW UP which happens on your own, as an individual, not always abandoned but alone. Being raised is being raised/lifted up or elevated BY a support system, usually family or religious or moral or economic mentors... so you're raised in one environment which is more loving, and love is acceptance. However, you come up on your own in "reality" which does not care about you because it is the "reality" you create. Dig this, so you're god at the same time right? Somewhat. You can only be one thing at one time, but you can say words in your head and write them at the same time, just like how you can walk and think of being somewhere else doing something else... so you can be in more than one place doing more than one thing at the same time... just you're ignorant to the fact you're doing that. It feels good. So the you that raises you, you're conscious of because that's one half of your balanced development. HOWEVER, the you that creates the situations and circumstances you come up IN and THROUGH, you're detached from so it can push you more, but since it's you, it knows what boundaries to set and how hard to push because you're already above those things, pushing your lower self through those things. Dig it? Ok, so, ok... that line, "This Way We Came Up".. the "we" is both you and the world, and you and your self, which is your detached self that's you "alone" in this "reality" as well as it is "we" meaning you which is your lower and highest self. And since your highest self is everything in "reality" as well as connected to source, you could see it as "we" meaning every being that has consciousness and being, even those you perceive as adversaries... if you did not have them you would not be as strong as you are, or you would be wasting the strength you have. There would be no reason to push, which would mean you're god again and everything is boring and there are no challenges, so you'd have to start over again by making a lower self, cutting it off, and dropping it down (COMING DOWN) to the way of being that's reading this on the screen right now. Yup, two lines in. Let's keep going, shall we? I diggs you madly, you're cool for going thru this, sincerely. hahahaha
"And coming down... Maybe we'll be saints again...." because everything is perception. Coming down is just creation in it's simplest form. Falling is simplicity. Ignorance is bliss. Building takes ego and fire and manipulation of matters by way of your minds involvement... You have to hold on, to grab, to work. BUT COMING DOWN? Falling? you can do that without trying. Just set your mind to the first few steps and then it goes on it's own. Throw a rock and drop one and tell me which one is easier. Do that with the gravity of being. Build up to God and fall from it, tell me which one is more of a breeze. Hahahaha. Hey man, you're the one doing it. I'm just a cartoon klown who wrote a song about it to remind you. Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just another version of you you're ignorant to, ya dig me? A portion of your self you ain't really friends with as much as you understand or know. Understanding and knowing are two different things too man, dig? ANYWAYS "Maybe we'll be saints again"... is defiantly perception. Coming down, falling to this level most view as a dark thing or disgraceful or evil, because evil is anything that is contradictory or adverse to godlike, however if God is all things then there ain't no such thing as evil, just things forms of god don't understand because it made it that way, and those forms are uncomfortable about that--again because it made it that way. Gotta kill eternity doing something, right? So sometimes you view your ways and others as being saints, other times your understanding of it makes it seem "wrong" or "evil". Evil backwards is live. God don't have to live, it just has to be. But you feel you have to BE a live. How krazy is that, right? Relax, i'm just a klown man, it's not that deep. Well, again... everything is in and out by way of OF and through your head, so, if you say it is deep, it's deep. (y)
"But here and now" cause here ain't always now, and now ain't always here. One is a place and the other's a moment. Places are moments, but you have to connect to them to make that moment now. That's a personal choice. If you're connected to all moments (all times) at once, then what time is it? Eternity. If you just let go of it all, what time is it now? Nothingness i guess. That's pretty quiet. Anyways...
"But here and now, as the rockets rise.." Rocket, not just being one of the cutest chicks ever in the Sucker Punch crew, or "Rocket" Caesar's good friend, but Rocket also meaning humanity. Humanity is rising fast, because of it's technology, burning bright, but it's blasting off into a void in search of self... proving self, identifying self, allowing self to make a mark.... ego. Rockets have a one track mind, so to speak, one destination and then back home, like humanity. What goes up must come down? Not always. They killed a bunch of stuff and broke all sorts of laws and barriers to move up, even with all precautions taken, the history tells the tale.... but it sure looks pretty and paints a lovely illusion of power. Shoot, just think if you had rockets. Heck, think of you could BE rockets!?
"Life dizzys down"... your perception of reality changes after all of that takes place. You'll survive it, and it's a great deal beneath you, which is why IT dizzys down but you don't. You're a rocket. You keep going up.
"to piles of ashes" meaning, well... as the artist formerly known as Jack Napier once said, "Everything burns" which is deep in itself if you truly dig it.
"Once.. my... friends." which is another double talk kinda thing. 1ST, the piles of ashes that life floated down beneath you, which you burned away in your ascension, were once your friends, it was what raised you and helped you come up. It's what you lifted off from, and you burned it all to push up into the unknown. Keep in mind, if you stop, you float back down and crash into the ground from however high you were. Keep in mind, too, that you crash with the impact and "power" of BEING as a rocket. 2ND way of reading that is the more clever one, to me... keep in mind... cartoon klown, man. i says it so you dig it and don't take it so serious, but again, the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall... So dig this, "MY" is a personal thing, it's ego... so once MY becomes your friend, keep in mind your friend is not you, your friend is someone WITH you, a separate thing.. So once your ego becomes your friend it may trigger you to want to ascend, which will destroy the world that raised you and pushed you thru it, it birthed you... and you've reduced it to ashes. But who is MY? Who's voice is that telling you to do it? Because, again, its not you, or is it?
So, in a way, the whole thing is saying that "God, that's me, I hope i can forgive myself for creating God, and me. Maybe the next time i fall into lower ways of being, lesser gods, human/ angel/ demon/ plant/ animal/ emotion/ force/ matter/ energy/ void/ form/ etc... any way of being... (all the same... rockets, illusions of power, even "God") maybe it will be an enlightening and beautiful experience. But right now as i'm growing into my self, i'm destroying everything, even my self, especially once i realize i want and need it and cannot escape it. And so, here we go... again... in this loop..."
yeah man, that's kinda what the chorus is about. That's a dang ol' lot of words man, it's not really that deep tho, especially if you don't think about it.
vERSES
...watch the rain flow (watch the natural flow of creation, the WATER... coming down)
down through the alleys it goes (the WATER of "Y" finds a way of being all things individually by moving down paths, frequencies, bloodlines, genetic codes, blueprints, etc. Streets and Alleys are how things flow through a structure. So energy comes to and leaves from a building/person by way of the alleys and streets.)
cuts thru this skyscraper zoo (it can be seen in the ways mankind builds itself up, and is even there in it's twists and fits of ego, and madness)
unnoticed by the egos (but mankind is still ignorant to self)
ALL falling, just as rain (Enlightenment of the divine is still coming down for a balance because of this ignorance, to help what is being built. It makes what is building more arrogant, prideful, boastful... more reckless. Which calls for more enlightenment to balance.)
in this pointless game (Because it's all a part of the same loop anyways. Learn to remember ALL, to learn to remember all. You learn self to forget self to learn self.)
coming down from the clouds, from this shelter i dream (Is BEING coming down to Being, but also Being ascending to BEING. Both thinking that the other holds the key to understanding it's self. "The grass is always greener on the other side." All one has to do is simply BE, which is the BEing in the middle. BEING BEing Being. Minds and egos are always searching for why self? Being just is self. Nothing to look for. No place to escape because there's nothing to escape.)
verse2
trudging on thru the rain (Growing and understanding as Being)
the crowds push and they pull (spirits and thoughts and all the things that become "your" focus. Never one thing. Every thought is the spokesperson for a whole big picture.)
some trampled under the rush (the mind is becoming. The rush is the energy pushing and pulling to become the focus of one's mind. Everyone want's the spotlight. It gives them being.)
verse 3
and now i stand here alone (recognizing self)
this corner too well known (recognizing self as the balance, seeing thru the games and matrix and detachment and illusions of self, back to oneness, the point where above connects to below, where anything is possible and reality is at the will of the focus of the mind)
1 church, 1 bar, 1 park (Divinity, pure BEing, and Nature.... the balance of BEING BEing Being... Fire, Vibration/Understanding, Water... options in ways to go. To ascend or descend. Being BEing BEING, or BEING BEing Being.)
looking up to the sky, the rain still all around (This is how minds are made. You focus on one point, and the flow of information and energy comes down all around you. You just tune out the distractions and focus on that one point. Like any experience where you're in that "tunnel of light". It's just a tunnel of possibilities. You focused on one way "Thee light at the end of the tunnel" and all along the way are possible exits to get off of the stream of consciousness and become, or come into a way of being that point. For instance... being born. You are on one end of the tunnel. Your focus is on what type of individual you'd like to be. So you head towards it. Spiraling all around you are moments to jump into, ways of being that, but you're focused on one specific way of being in one specific age/time with one specific genetic makeup, with one specific mission and lesson, having all of those specific connections and moments, memories, relationships... that one specific energy and Being. So, you, BEING... focuses and come down into BEing that Being. Going up is the same, which is why you must be careful what you focus on when going up. Understanding self here is important.)
it's chilling and cleansing (Coming down deals with becoming water from fire. The fire cleanses, but the more the water becomes its self, the more it lowers in vibration - chilling- and it's refreshing to shed all of the EVERYTHINGNESS and experience the purity of that one single vibration that one and only Being.)
watching the world spin, trying to catch myself (As life and living play out the mind is always trying to find its self and validate its self in the present)
digging hard through the red, to lights grown cold in the rain (pushing beyond the fire side, masculine side, and reach for a balance, something more natural which the water provides. Fire comes down into water to understand it again because it's fire. It needs the balance.)
and then my cross digs IN (once the balance is reached, you find peace in understanding and knowing who you are... BEING BEing IN your skin, as well as Being BEing IN Divinity and ALL THINGS)
