| I always thought the refrain went "I've ceased to see where I'm going" but whatever. Great song anyhow. | |

| A great early Tull song with a sound that you have never heard before. The lyrics mean "I'm going to give up my day job and see where this music thing goes" and anybody who has ever done this will recognize this as an anthem of focused determination and blind optimism. It obviously paid off. | |

| Would probably be a reference to Jeffery Hammond-Hammond, one of the members of the band, who at one point decided to leave the band, and go back to the study of art, which had actually been a his lifelong endeavor. | |

| It was actually written long before Hammond left the band and is more likely about Hammond leaving behind his passion for art and instead playing bass for Tull. I've always though it was ceased as well. 1 | |
