• Manny from EarthThis song is the the magnum opus admission of our illusionary reality that has been forced on us.
  
  It has three verses, just like the three eyes we have, our two physical eyes, represented by the first and last verse, and the third eye, our pineal gland which is represented by the central verse. Just like the third eye/pineal gland is located between our two physical eyes, the second verse is located in the middle of the first and third verse.
  
  In the second verse, the third eye verse, he clearly states POW! right between the eyes, oh how nature loves her little surprises. These lines are literally about opening your third eye, or having kundalini awakening. For most people it comes on suddenly and is the supreme surprise of nature because it changes your core understanding of everything.
  
  WOW! It all seems so logical now. It's just one of her better disguises. Again these lines are literally about how once you have a true awakening, everything becomes extremely logically, and the understanding that all the truth of the nature of our existence has been hidden, or disguised.
  
  He repeats it comes with no warning, nature loves her little surprises.
  
  Lastly he follows up with continual crisis. This is the method that nature has been disguised. Ordo Ab Chao. Order out of chaos. The powers that control our world fabricate crisis and provide us with the solution as a means to keep us completely disconnected with the true nature of our spiritual nature. Everyone is continually bombarded crisis.
  
  Joe Walsh and the larger music industry as a whole are all aware of exactly what the true nature of this place is and have sold out the majority of the human race for fame and fortune. They put it right in our faces and yet we are too blind to see what they are actually saying. It is time to wake up.
• Diana from St.p.This song was my 'ear worm' of the day, kinda suits my thoughts lol.. Been looking for it's story and meaning, so thanks a lot!
• A77white from Smyrna, Tn 37167 UsaI have a question about the opening instrumental guitar or bass riff that is repeated twice at the beginning of the song and repeated one or two more times in the song. Here's my question: I think I vaguely remember hearing that little ditty somewhere in my past. I think it was played by high school bands at football games. Do you know anything about the opening riff?
