Goodbye Horses

As the writer, musician and producer of this song, I wanted to add a bit of light to it, as it has a rather grisly association with the serial killer in "The Silence of the Lambs", but really the song is about transcendence over those who see the world as only earthy and finite. The horses represent the five senses from Hindu philosophy (The Bhagavad Gita) and the ability to lift one's perception above these physical limitations and to see beyond this limited Earthly perspective. - William Garvey 2008 In this well-known plate, the horses represent the five senses, the reins symbolize the mind, the driver stands for the intelligence, and the passenger represents the spirit soul.
