The rising sun from the previous track reveals what is a sort of eternal utopian paradise. Through the course of the song you realize that you aren’t supposed to be here yet but when you reach this higher level of existence everything is gonna be alright.
lyrics
Turn your back and I steal fruit again starving got no shame I’m wonderin’
In this garden pure I’m stumblin’ where’s that water to wine
In the distance is a jungle green every kind of paradise is seen
One Twenty Nine He said it’s yours all that you see leavin’ out the last few lines
I ain’t supposed to be here for a few more years
But when I get there I have nothing to fear
Cause I feel no pain no hurt tell not a lie
Heart does not ache I do not cry
And every story that I hear doesn’t end with goodbye
I come across no hatred not a judge
Only open arms reached out for love
No catch no fine print below or above
Only love
Now take me to the river lay me down dream so deep and melt into the ground
Waking light can’t believe what I have found back to where it all began
Now see that villain who has been denied he yells at the gates a billion times
Sympathy remorse he starts to cry as he’s crackin’ a smile
I ain’t supposed to be here for a few more years
But when I get there I have nothing to fear
Cause I feel no pain no hurt tell not a lie
Heart does not ache I do not cry
And every story that I hear doesn’t end with goodbye
I come across no hatred not a judge
Only open arms reached out for love
No catch no fine print below or above
Only love
