if you should fall,your followers will abandon you, I fyou shoudl stand-how will you know where to lead-It suggests caution abotu being willing to play the role of leader. If you lead ,must follow,among other things implies that the leader is dependent on the followers,and should serve them. There is a road.between the dark and the dark of night-Between birth and death we each have our own path ,our own life.
#Ripple grateful dead full
Reach out your hand if your cup is empty-ask and it shall be added unto you,if your cup is full may it be again,The singer wishes well to all but takes no responsibility-the fountain of life and abundance was not made by humans The chorus says that there is something invisible that moves through the water,the song life,This seem sto suggest spiritual force.
The singer questions wether he shoudl even pass this on ,but loves the music and so throws caution to the wind. The first line asks questions about what is it about music ( and the strange attraction of the Dead) that reaches people- it's not superficial or obvious,not the singer ,or the instrument, But what makes it seem alive? Why does it touch someone ?The 2nd line It'sa hand me down,the thoughts are broken Means there is something the singer ,and listeners recieve that's been passed down,and the source is unknown. Hmmm maybe I should make my comments rhyme? If it was up the writer they would guide youīut they do not have that knowledge nor ability Then you must follow the lead of the one who guides you When you make that choice of your own freewill If you should stand then who's to guide you?
#Ripple grateful dead for free
This is the sacrifice for nothing is for free in the world.īut the fountain of wealth you fill your cup from does not come from man. There is a dead body in the water sinking The words are not yours they break your own thought It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Would you hold it near as it were your own?Ĭould words be magical glowing with.gold and power of the sunĪnd you can't get that tune out of your headĪnd soon it is like the words are your own Would you hear my voice come through the music If my words did glow with the gold of sunshineĪnd my tunes were played on the harp unstrung The song is about the deep personal stuff. The song also says if someone thinks they have the answer or answers for others as a leader, well, they only have the answers for themselves. It’s like a parent or significant other squaring with you and saying that they love you, but…for the deep stuff…you have to figure it out for yourself. The songwriter is saying he/she would like to define life’s meaning and path, but he/she cannot, and it’s best you figure it out on your own, and in the end, that’s how it will happen anyhow…with the help of the fountain and the ripple without a cause. …means life’s meaning will come out of nowhere, in your mind and consciousness, in other words from the fountain not made by the hands of man. That every individual is on a “path” of their own as they go through life and every individual must interpret life and its meaning for themselves.
