Going for the one

Chasing a ball around. "The truth of sport plays rings around you." - (Olympic rings reference) Going for number one -The winner, the best. The thrill of it is what matters. The way it makes you feel alive. it gives you a kind of spiritual high." Wonderous Stories - "The meaning of the song is fairly straightforward. In each verse, the narrator is in an encounter with his "Forgiver," but at each encounter, the narrator is too preoccupied with "your wonderous stories." The Jesus figure opens the pearly gates for him, sends his spirit flying away into the heavens, and each time the narrator just thinks 'I hope I can get home in time for those wonderous stories!'"

Actually the thread is a good question.

Wondrous Stories - This song definitely beckons to nostalgia, childhood days and psychedilic imaginations. It also points at the mind's eye being ' open' and receptive to the storyteller.

Parallels - a warning to not go beyond the point of no return, could relate to drugs or just p

ushing the outer limits of oneself.There is a pararllel dimension there, we just need to find it

Wonderous stories - some kind of wonderous story
