i really like this song. in fact this is one of my favorite song of his. he shows real depth and very world relatible references. i think this song should be given more credit than it is getting.
At this point, Bowie was going for broke. He acknowledged within himself, that he had to project his worth to the world! Even here, he knew that he was uniquely capable of launching science fiction lyrics that equaled A.E. van Vogt's vision of demigods. In an alternate universe, he may have sustained this angst of initial adult expression, releasing imagery of mankind's folly. It was not to be so. Other interests complexed his interest and he grew even beyond this measure. But what poweful joys!
Even juvenile Bowie is lightyears ahead of most 21st cenury rubbish. This is one of his best early efforts. Full of anger and disdain and warnings to not believe in artificial solutions contrived by human fucking beings.
@Exeron91 I understand, it is a 'blessing' in disguise this song has not had such exposure as 'Changes'. Best way to ruin art to 'pop' audiences' on loop radio.
"Sacred dimension of time." It's all there if you have ears to hear. WARNING us not to stake our lives on anything that doesn't come from within, no matter how brilliant it may seem to be. Bowie, even knowing how keen his mind's invention was, was wise enough to know that you can't hang your beliefs on someone else's point of view. It would never be entirely appropriate for you. You better filter your belief system through your own proving ground and not follow any prophet blindly into oblivion!
