Songs to Awaken You

[Parsons]

I have wanted to start this thread since I first found this forum, but I decided to wait a bit to catch up on some more LOO / Q'uo wisdom. Now that I have finally adjusted, I wish to share a huge source of "Olio" for me: music. Specifically: songs talking about the veil(and government involvement in amplifying the veil), the harvest, and wanderers (we are supposed to be fools and geniuses rolled into one body, aren't we?).

I will split each song into is own post as I plan on posting several songs with my interpretation of the lyrics that I think related to the LOO. I invite any comments or questions even if you disagree with my view. I also invite you to post a your song in much the same format so maybe one of you can expose a song I haven't recognized / heard yet. I am posting this as well as trying to categorize them so people might remember the song in a dark moment that they feel that they can relate to it... And remember the light and thus warm their heart and make it easier to get through whatever situation ails them.

=OD Love and light.

I settled on the first song being Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence"

-This song (IMO) is resoundingly about the veil and the "planetary game" that Q'uo often references in the LOO.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

The speaker talks about a "dream"/vision they had that left pearls/seeds of some kind of message.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

The speaker starts recounting what he remembers of his dream. It is grim but he did not despair (he turned his collar of all the cold water accumulating there, shaking off the negative energy). He was suddenly distracted by an obnoxious neon sign flickering in his vision.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

His upturned vision and the illuminating flicker gives him a brief glimpse that he is not the one waking up. There are many that can talk without opening their mouths and can hear you without a word ever crossing your lips. But they are afraid to speak out. They write songs that they never sing aloud, afraid that some guy in a suit or a uniform would show up at their house and take them away. No-body dares directly try interfere with the "planetary game" that is in effect (nobody dares disturb the sound of silence, or the censoring/silencing entities out there)

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

The speaker tries to reason with this group that he perceives as partially/potentially enlightened to the crushing planetary veil. They respond with "Fool, You do not know". They do this is a public forum usually (because they are programmed to want to shame people publicly), so "silence like a cancer grows" to some of the onlookers that fall for the lie and will eventually perpetuate it in a cancerous fashion. The speaker emphatically asks the listener to hear his words and take his hands in his own that he might "reach them" (foolishly trying to force the information on the listener, which results in his words falling like silent raindrops into wells of silence, which resonate and further spread disinformation/humiliation on his part, thus spreading the negative instead of the intended positive. IMO).

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

As a result, they go back and listen to the path of least resistance / the one screaming the loudest "the neon god they made". The speaker adds that the words of the same profit flash a warning, yet still fell into silence. The speaker points out that you may find intense wisdom in the least likely places (subway walls and tenement halls), as many of these people are labeled "kooks" by society so "certain" governments can stop the spread of the truth behind the lies.
