The golden Path

En la música electrónica los Chemical Brothers nos han dado fabulosos momentos. Este peculiar duo es capaz de generar una rola de club que pone a todos a bailar inmediatamente, lo mismo que una melodía de tintes místicos como "The Golden Path". En ésta la interpretación vocal corre acargo del lider de la agrupación "The flaming Lips", Wayne M. Coyne, célebre en la escena alternativa del rock.
La muerte es la gran interrogante a la que todas las culturas se han enfrentado de distintas maneras, ofreciendo respuestas filosóficas, reliogiosas, biológicas, etc. Sin embargo a ciencia cierta no se puede enunciar lo que ocurre después de esta ¿De verdad es el comienzo de la nada o existe un más allá? Por pura esperanza, el común de los mortales casi siempre nos inclinamos a creer lo segundo. Existen una variedad inmensa de versiones acerca de los que puede ser el más allá, muchas de ellas inclyen un viaje del alma antes de hallarse frente a la verdad universal, que anima el cosmos y le da sentido a nuestra existencia: de esto nos habla "The Golden Path", una canción muy profunda y bella que no deben dejar de checar.

The golden Path

As I walked along,
the supposed golden path,
I was confronted,
by mysterious spectres.
they pointed to the graveyard,
over and yonder hill.

I paused in cosmic reflection,
confused and wondering,
of how I came to die.

Hmmm..
I was confused.
For if I was dead,
how and why,
did I die?

But I composed myself.
And decided I should face it

But I stood paralyzed,
on the supposed golden path,
and I was confronted,
by powerful demon force.

They said it was the devil,
and when he spoke,
his words flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano.
And I said: Help me lord!
I found myself in some kind of Hell!
But I did not believe in him,
heaven and hell,
world in opposites, kind of reality.

And I gained control of myself,
and I decided to press on.

And as I walked along,
the supposed golden path,
I was trembling with fear,
oh the lions and wizards yet to come.
I seen in the distance,
silver mountains rising high in the clouds
and a voice from above did whisper,
some shining answer from the womb.

Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
(As I walked along)
Please forgive me, (As I walked along)
I never meant to hurt you. (As I walked along)
(As I walked along)
(As I walked along)
Please forgive me, (As I walked along)
I never meant to hurt you. (As I walked along)
Please forgive me,
I never meant to hurt you.
