I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.
Just takes you to another place,once there think and see what you wish.No point in trying to read into the lyrics,i think Leonard himself would have been stoned and now would not know what he meant.Who cares,beautiful atmospheric song of a time long gone.
Often times the meaning is simply to convey the feeling of the writer at the time of composition.
When you go looking for meaning, you'll only find what you want to find. the meaning of most all music is easily warped or twisted to be what you want it to be.
whether this is good or bad, is really up to everyone to decide for themselves.
@Vincent777Legion1 There is no such thing as "having no meaning" or "to much meaning". Anybody can try to find meaning in any artwork. There might not be a "true meaning" but that shouldn't stop anybody to look for meaning.

sometimes songs have no meaning other then to write what may sound good
funny how people look for to much meaning in all arts.

@fpbvos Of course we should look for meaning, meaning is feeling, feeling is to connect.
I was implying sometimes it's just the imagination over experience.
For me experience is more meaningful instead of something being made up.
This song in particular would be of a few experiences knitted together.
Nevertheless still a beautiful song, ponderous but beautiful.
