Mind Games
Flux Fiddlers/John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushing the barrier, planting seed
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra "peace on earth"
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dude lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it, you gotta let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You got to let it, you gotta let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love
I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before

Since argon is a component of air, actually 20 times more abundant than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, every atom of argon that we inhale are then exhaled essentially unchanged and goes back into circulation.
In every breath we take, we inhale and exhale 10¹⁸ atoms of argon.
These atoms, remain in the atmosphere essentially unchanged, to be inhaled again and again throughout time.
It is certain, therefore, that in every breath you take, you have inhaled at least several atoms of argon that have also been inhaled by Einstein, and Newton before him, Mohammad, Christ, and John Lennon etc.
So even in his absence from your proximity , you may well have breathed in some Argon which was once in John Lennon's lungs
We are all connected this way❤

All the games are from her
We kept it real and have no ill will towards anyone unless they come at me with their fake shit.
We found the grail, that elusive happiness and contentment through sobriety and decency
But we will become a rabid dog if provoked
Only fair I think
TreT others how you wish to be treated
Then you have a very small fraction of the population that only wish to start trouble or stir up shit
To those it will come back to you
Wait and see.
Ya!

Life is very strange. I m here in 2021, with 24 years old, loving a song from 73, of a man who has already passed away. Mom was only 5 when it was dropped... His songs travel through the ages.
