song "man made maze"

Man made maze

Go around the bend
you received all you could
till the end
Silent light hidden wren
gives a call to the world
what then?

Chorus
All has lost all has been
when we see the man made maze
We’re in
Bridge
And I have gone
through one more life
Let down my guard
‘Cause I can’t hide

I am what I am
a perception lost
to them
your reality
You will never get more
then individuality

Chorus

wrote this song in like 20 min... so it really is rough. I'd really like it if you guys could look for symbolism and come up with what it means to you... just try, like a zen koan Cool, thanks in advance for the replies!

It is a pretty good song; though I couldn't quite find a meaning. I know there is one, it's just so hard to explain. Still, a good song for 20 mins.

I think these lyrics are really good. It sounds like something I'd listen to. After reading it a couple of times I began to get a sense of what I thought it was about. It's still a little hazy to me, but here is what I saw. Not sure if it's right.

The world is nothing but one big maze, but we did not notice it because we are too busy taking shortcuts instead of "go[ing] around the bend" The light serves as an ephiphanhy, and once it's seen, everything you thought you knew before, changes. All past knowledge becomes obsolete as you cross over the bridge. And I'm not sure, but I take it that the bridge symbolizes death and crossingover as the only way to see the whole picture of truth.

But this is only what I see. I'm not sure if I'm anywhere near close.
But I really really like it so far. [/i]

Thanks for the replies... I just reread it, and now I forget what I was thinking of that inspired this song. I think it had to do with the idea that we create our own perceptions, and these artificial perceptions of confusion and doubt are all our own mazes that, if we really take the time to meditate on, and figure out, can get out of... or something.
