Interpretations

A few people have told me that they find it difficult to understand what I am singing about. Here are some summaries of each of the above songs that should help explain what I am attempting to say in my songs. No song has one correct interpretation and, even for me, there are multiple meanings inherent in many of the songs. - mb


Desire Creeping Up On Me
I don't know everything but I know where I want to end up. Slowly but surely, if you want it bad enough, understanding will come. Be careful, the Path is a slippery slope!
Distance
No matter what you do, you can't escape the fact that life is a puzzle that has to be solved. You might as well have a partner.
Eagle
We are the masters of our collective destiny. As helpless as we may seem sometimes, there is so much we can do to enable positive change in our world.
Emerson
Make the most of this life and don't be afraid of change.
For Bregman
Even though you are going to die, you won't. And not in any 'you'll live forever in my heart' kind of way. Human beings are essentially immortal and made of more stuff than just flesh and bones.
Golden Needle
It's crazy. We're totally alone in the middle of nowhere within the most immense expanse of space that the mind can possibly imagine! And yet we appear to be evolving somewhere, slowly but surely. The ultimate solution to our being alone is within each and every one of us.
Heavy
Someday, when I figure out what I am supposed to do with my life, my mind will become clear and it will no longer feel like a heavy burden.
Hold That Memory
It doesn't matter how far away you are now, I still love you and I can feel you everywhere.
Koan
Majesty
Do onto others as you'd have others do onto you. Stop being so defensive! Accept that we are fragile creatures filled with love.
Making The Way Back Home
Let's rebuild our world on a foundation of Spirit.
Motion
The cycle of karma will never end until you face your biggest fear.
Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down
What's it going to take to reach Enlightenment? I have so much to offer!
Rainbow
If you go back into the past to find the thing that will make you happy, when you get there, it will be gone. If you reach for random things to find fulfillment, they will slip right through your hands like a mirage. When you don't know where else to turn to find fulfillment, pray.
Second Chance
When there's really nowhere left to go, wait it out.
Still Looking
The truth is infinite.
Sweat On The Pyre
Can't you see it? It's just over there, on the other side of the fence!
The Simplest Thing
True human interaction cannot take place behind a computer screen!
Tied Up And Tied
We really shouldn't be together, so how come we're still together? I think I've lost my soul!
Together Forever
Marriage is a sacred institution.
Vicious Circle
Wave
I can't believe how beautiful you are! Even though I know this can't last forever, I am going to savor it just a little longer.
Why Can't I Slow The World Down
This world is fundamentally flawed. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't jump headfirst into it!
You Missed It
Don't lose yourself in the past. Otherwise, you might find yourself lost in the present as well.
