This is the second song on Light Speed Collision, my favorite album by my favorite band. They’re from the only country in the world that’s also a continent, which means they have a north, south, east, and west coast. A lot of their songs are about water.
“Turn off your mind and float around/ Surfing on a wall of sound/ Float downstream enjoy the ride/ Let it take you to the other side/ Lie back, relax, gaze at the stars/ You can get there if you listen hard/ Close your eyes you can hear the surf/ Don’t confine your mind to Earth/ Come walk with me through endless time/ See what’s been and the future sees/ You won’t come down, you won’t come back/ Surfing on a sonic track/ We are surfers of the mind…”
Sound waves and ocean waves can carry you along, or you can ride them to where you want to go. And that’s just in the physical world. Really it’s your mind that takes you wherever you decide to go. If turn off your mind and float around, and get swept away by the life you want, you won’t come back.
