Jeff,
That's more or less what my reaction to it is too. Especially
the "zen" like aspect to it. Sort of a simple but honest & accurate
confidence in "being"....

Thanks all for the interpretations. I really enjoy seeing what songs
evoke in us. I listened to "Fire Island" (I hope I have the title
right) with fresh new ears and closedly for the first time, per Mikes
thoughts. Also a moving song and sad song to my ears...

Anyway - people who experience it describe a feeling of invincibility
("He
knows no one can touch him now") Hyperawareness about what is
happening now
as well as other totally unrelated things ("he thinks of his Mother,
he
thinks of his bride-to-be...) . But most of all things seem to be
moving in
slow motion compared to yourself. It seems as if you have all kinds
of time.
So the song is to me just a way to capture that electrifying yet zen
like
moment. And for me it does an incredible job. I get chills just
thinking
about it. Maybe I'm naieve, but I like to think it wasn't meant to be
cynical....
