Jet Overhead! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the darkest line
To the brightest place
To the brightest place
To the brightest place
Where no reason waits to stop us
We can have it all
Take my hand and trust
Take my hand and trust
This way
This way you can't go back again
The streets will never be the same
Back from where you came
It's a great escape, we'll lay low
Make you feel safe
No one's gonna know
No one's gonna know
No one's gonna know
This way
This way come on we'll get away
You can't go back
Never the same
Back from where you came
This is my world, my world, my world

You can't go back
There's no returning to the past
This is my world, my world, my world
This journey belongs to me and is unique to my experience

The quality of our dreams are both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma.

The Figure 8 Analogy:
An analogy on life, death, the dreamstate and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience.
We human beings are not moving in the
abstractmotion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89), rather we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the awake state and the dream state.When we awake from sleep, we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8), and when we go into the dream state, we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8). Upon death, the figure 8 of life untwines, but it is not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents; It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind...(8->0)...Because the awake state is really a state -of mind, with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream state is also a state -of mind, with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states "of mind" untwine to form a larger state of mind...A state that has all the potentialities of the dream world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the "transitional analogy."
While conceiving this analogy I realized life and death must be perceived - from one point of view - as seperate entities(the transitional analogy), but must also be perceived -from another point of view - as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy) -both of which are ultimately linked by the dream state.
The symbolic analogy consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the 'circle of death' abstractly overlapping the 'circle of life'/the earth -with the overlappment representing the dream state (like the common area in a venn diagram), which implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which semi-explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc; for the dream state has a foothold in the afterlife) and is based on the premise that "while our body sleeps, our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.
In other words, while we are lying down and -sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place "like" our dream state...A state "of mind", with our body's physical bonds eternally engrained and intertwined.
