| No No--YOU are the dumbass. You missed the whole point of what I said. You're trying to say that these guys aren't about the lyrics? You're actually admitting that the lyrics suck, you idiot. Bands that are more about the music than the lyrics don't write words that pretend to have some meaning. AC/DC just for an example-most of their lyrics are ridiculous, but at least they don't try to act like Harvard graduates and make up some nonsense hoping to pass it off as some ingenious creation. Yes does do that. | |

| This song, and this band, aren't just random meaningless lyrics, these actualy do mean something, I don't know what, i'm sure they were drug induced because i know that at least the bass player Cris Squire was a heavy drinker and used some drugs. i'm a devout fan of this band, i love their music. and there is a meaning. for example, the song "Close to the Edge" is based on the book "Siddhartha." | |

| I've read what Jon Anderson has said. This song has great meaning to me personally. It reminds me of when I first fell in love with, and began dating (living with) my now wife. She's from Canyon Lake, Texas. It's west of New Braunfels, Texas. New Braunfels is a old town settled by germans and has a european roundabout in the middle of town. Canyon Lake is in the hill country with lots of small mountains that regularly get fog around them from the lake. There are always brown eagles and turkey buzzards flying in a circular pattern out there. She's of teacher--of children of course. There is a place with dinosaur tracks called Dinosaur Flats about 2 miles from where we lived. The whole area used to be under the ocean. There are millions of deposits of sea life. I was born by the ocean in the summer and was 10 years old when this song came out. I moved to Texas at 24. I know that this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but to me it forms a metaphor in my mind. It's a happy song. We need more happy songs. it makes me think of our first, spartan, years together. We're still very happy. | |

| i read in a yesbook that the whole thing with the mountains coming out of the sky was actually about some mountains that yes saw while they were on the road. jon said that because of the fog, the mountains seemed to be coming out of the sky. so that's where that came from... | |

| Musically good but self-indulgent which i find disgusting. Why make songs with nonsensical lyrics unless it's just boogey? Or unless you want people to believe that you're some profound character who has something to say when you really either don't have anything to say--or you don't have the talent to put it into words--which is the case here. The people who listened to bands like Yes, Styx and Kansas were the people who couldn't get laid in high school. | |
