it's my most favorite song. my understanding of the song is that, we see everthing to be nice when we are feeling nice and it is god, and everything seems terrible when we are feeling terrible and it is bad. but, no matter what, we always try to feel or at least assume that we are feeling good. such as even if we don't know what it is, we like to know "all that glitter is gold", and even if the doors are close, we want to buy a way to the "stairway to heaven", becasue that's where the real gold are and everything is fine. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May Queen Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on there are choices in life, how you want to be happy. a pile of gold, may not necessary be gold inside, and a file of iron may have the potion of happiness inside. you can only choose one but And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our souls There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll we still wander and wonder to find real happiness. sometimes we indulge in happiness that are merely short and unreal, but the quest to find glory and happiness is only out there. i am sure there is a way to buy that happiness. lies are beautiful when you believe but very torturous when truth comes out. no matter how bitter a truth is, it is never as torturous and betraying. be careful to see if the white is really white, or you only want to believe that it is white. perhaps it is white on black, and you can only know by looking closure at it or even scratch off the whites to see what really lies inside. i am sure there is a way to find out. that is just an attempt to buy "stairway to heaven". to get something that u believe but not know.
