Title: The Thin Line between Love and Hate
Album: Brave New World
Transcribed by: Swen O. Heiland
Email: sonofagun@t-online.de

This song was really hard to transcribe! One of the three guitars seems to
use a dropped d tuning. That means: most of the d chords should be played one
octave lower (I'm sure that was Adrian's idea!:)).

This is an amazing song. I'm sure you guys are right about the meanings: the_apparition/RainbowDemon. I just like to sit and think about how life is, about how their is a thin line between love and hate and how their is a thin line between good and bad. When you get put in those peer pressure situations or just random situations where it's just a yes or no answer, that could go from you doing the nicest thing you'll ever do in your life to the most horrible and wicked thing you'll ever do in your life. This song is very amazing.

This song is the concluding song about Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It generalises the theories put forth in the book and analyzes them. It is from the point of view of John the Savage, because he understands in the end that he will escape the world that he is from and will go on to eternity where he will be free and live forever. the_apparition has some good points, if you throw that in with what I'm talking about from the book then it all makes sense. John realises that the world is so much more complex than had ever realised.

I've not long Finished reading Brave new World, and what RainbowDemon is saying really fits the song well. "At what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn" This Seems to be talking about the 'conditioning' that every child in Brave new world have to go through. At what age do they begin their path? As soon as they are decanted, they have their social class specified and have no way to change that. This seems to follow John's Final bleak outlook on life and society very well, about how he feels everything is much too complicated, not just a good and bad, or love and hate. The thin Line between love and Hate, for John, seems to be crossed when Lenina trys moving on John, who Loved her, but snaps at the sight of her (last chapter) and whips her almost. if not, to death. Well, thats how i see the song anyway. Great song. 1

By soul will fly he means that he'll live on forever in the spirit world and through reincarnation, all that kinda stuff. grey place between Black and white is just a metaphor for the difference between good and bad, theres a subtle difference between love and hate, but theres a bigger and more noticable difference between good and bad, or black and white metaphorically! Also he's saying nothing is as simple as black and white, threres an inbetween bit, so everyones got the right to do what they want cos nothing is set in stone
