I received a strange e-mail
this morning. In which was written “The will to be born.” It says, Right now I’m struggling to exhale oxygen. My remains have already been completely disposed of... They say there’s no such place as Shangri-la. I became aware coming out from between her legs. And here I found out “half the meaning,” that right now I’m in the process of holding in the oxygen. The remains need no defending... If there’s no such place as Shangri-la, let’s make one of our own. The courage to give birth to then scrap something A knife cutting through thin air Today, placenta, tomorrow The reason I never take root even when someone devours me, is that “all living things are alone” Now then, you hate that it’s our nature to continue this cycle of reincarnation. Of course you do. You still haven’t started construction on anything. But you have plans to start from scratch. Your face. Let me see it, please. |

Notes: Though this song appears to be about abortion, Ringo claims it is more about the metaphorical birth and death of creativity.
