Blinds pulled (blinds pulled)
Lights low (lights low)
Flames high (flames high)
My body (my body)
My body
My body
My body
Is walking in space
My soul is in orbit
With God face to face
Floating, flipping
Flying, tripping
Tripping from Pottsville to Mainline
Tripping from Mainline to Moonville
Tripping from Potsville to Starlight ["pot"sville]
Tripping from Starlight to Moonville
On a rocket to
The Fourth Dimension
Total self awareness
The intention
My mind is as clear as country air
I feel my flesh, all colors mesh
Red black
Blue brown
Yellow crimson
Green orange
Purple pink
Violet white
White white
White white
White white
All the clouds are cumuloft
Walking in space
Oh my God your skin is soft
I love your face
How dare they try to end this beauty?
How dare they try to end this beauty?
To keep us under foot
They bury us in soot
Pretending it's a chore
To ship us off to war
In this dive
We rediscover sensation
In this dive
We rediscover sensation
Walking in space
We find the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Wide wide wide!
The lyrics of "Walking In the Jungle" by The C.R.S. Players provide a vivid and powerful commentary on the human experience and our search for meaning and connection. The beginning of the song sets the scene with doors locked, blinds pulled, and lights low, creating a sense of seclusion and introspection. The mention of flames being high suggests a passionate intensity within, perhaps symbolizing a burning desire for something more.
As the song progresses, the repetition of "My body, my body" emphasizes the physicality and presence of the self. The subsequent lines reveal a powerful metaphorical journey of the body and soul. "Walking in space" represents a state of transcendence and liberation, where the individual feels a connection with something divine. The mention of the soul being in orbit with God face to face implies a spiritual awakening and a sense of being connected to a higher power.
The song continues with descriptions of floating, flipping, flying, and tripping. These words convey a sense of freedom, exploration, and movement through different realms. The mentions of specific locations like Pottsville, Mainline, Starlight, and Moonville create a sense of traversing both physical and metaphorical landscapes.
The lyrics then shift to a critique of societal and political structures. The lines "How dare they try to end this beauty? / To keep us under foot / They bury us in soot / Pretending it's a chore / To ship us off to war" reflect a frustration with oppressive systems that stifle individuality and perpetuate violence. The dive mentioned refers to a dive into the depths of consciousness and experience, where rediscovery of sensation and purpose occurs.
In the final verses, the song culminates in a proclamation of awakening and openness. "Walking in space, we find the purpose of peace / The beauty of life, you can no longer hide / Our eyes are open, wide wide wide!" This expresses a collective realization and a call to embrace the beauty of existence, to see beyond the illusions and to reclaim agency and connection.
Overall, "Walking In the Jungle" by The C.R.S. Players invites listeners to reflect on the nature of existence, the search for meaning, and the potential for personal and collective transformation.
