This song appears to be one man's attempt to unlock the secrets of the universe for himself. Why's it never light on my lawn Why does it rain And never say good-day to the new-born On the big screen they showed us the sun But not as bright in life as the real one It's never quite the same as the real one The light, awakening or realization of an expanded consciousness-- that state of consciousness in which illuminati refers to, is elusive and all the teachings and realizations of it haven't been as great to him as he feels they should be And tell me grey seal How does it feel To be so wise To see through eyes That only see what's real Tell me grey seal The goal of an expanded consciousness is to tap into the universal mind and know the TRUTH about everything you seek to know about.
The lyric may also mean if anyone can seek this knowledge for themselves--then so can I, and by exploring and meditating on the true meaning and information the Eye of Horace he believes he can find the knowledge he is searching for And tell me grey seal How does it feel To be so wise To see through eyes That only see what's real Tell me grey seal The great geniuses of the world all knew this knowledge and put it to use including Tesla, Henry Ford, All The Greatest Composers, And Great Conquerors as well that went wild with this ability and tried to take over the whole world by using it including Alexander the great, Napoleon, Hitler, etc.
When you learn to draw from and listen to the universal mind you have can be incredibly creative as Bernie Taupin himself is. First you have to lose all your previous beliefs and teachings of a lifetime and become mentally reborn with the new way of thinking not just some of the time but all of the time.
This is an alchemist teaching and the real allegory meaning of the phoenix bird rising from the ashes And tell me grey seal How does it feel To be so wise To see through eyes That only see what's real Tell me grey seal So tell me great ancient symbol how to obtain this great higher consciousness I have heard about It is likely Bernie knew exactly what he was writing about even if he never admitted it to himself.
We all are born free and have the right to know the great secrets of the universe but it takes a burning desire to actually comprehend and ever become truly knowledgeable.
This song is loaded with meaning but Lyrics often tell a story so condensed down to a minute amount of words to conform to music and to be pleasing to the ear. And many words are changed to rhyme with others so what you end up with is sometimes difficult to understand and leaves the meaning open to interpretation. Who would have thought a song about a furry little sea creature was really about becoming personally acquainted with God and the Universe.
Like all great sages Bernie didn't know what he was saying General Comment Wow, this is not going to be easy, especially because as someone else here noted Bernie himself said he wasn't sure what it was about, and that it was just a bunch of images. In my opinion, this is a declaration of independance, whether he knew it or not. How does he do it making the music match the words, and making it so right, making it JUST right!?!
To be able to see what the song will be like when its done to see through eyes that only see what is real. Repeating the line adds insistence and emphasis, but even more, seems to indicate that this would be the only place the writer can find the answers to his questions. Okay so a declaration of independance from formal education, why write about things you learn in books or from reading books or going to school..
After all, real experience if anyone can cry then so can i is the only thing worth writing about. In through the eyes you can read and see and draw experience. And you can't write without them the eyes. All his life is drawings from the eye! Its what he has on his side. And now he is not just asking grey seal, but setting his course to learn from anyone he can.
He rejects organized religion Your mission bells were wrought by ancient man And if -- after thinking that he could go nowhere, and thinking that the words were not as important as the music -- now IF he can rise from the ashes It is now inevitable.
