Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Questions Lyrics






In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
Turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me

They answered my questions with questions
And pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star-painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light

They reached to my center of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair

They answered my questions with questions
And set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think

They answered my questions with questions
And pointed me into the night
The power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right

    The Best of them!!The lyrics are unbeatable.

  12. S.... P....

    Ein traumhafter Titel aus dem Jahr 1976 der damals wie heute für mich seither eine tiefe mystische lyrische Bedeutung hat. Spiegelt er doch nahezu 1:1 mein eigenes Ich wieder.
    Seither zerbrach ich mir oft den Kopf darüber, was wohl der Mann sich bei der weit umschweifenden Bedeutung selbst gedacht haben mag als er diesen Titel schrieb.
    Ohne eine wörtliche Übersetzung vorwegzunehmen würde der Inhalt meiner Einschätzung demnach folgende Bedeutung haben:

    BEDEUTUNG (NACH PETER SOHR)

    In einem Traum, so stellte ich mir vor, ging ich zu Jenen, welche mir meine Fragen beantworten sollten die sich gestellt haben wenn man tiefgründiger nach Erkenntnissen sucht.
    Diese Fragen wurden dann mit Antworten beantwortet, die Rätsel aufgaben.
    Sie wurden also mit weiteren Fragen beantworteten, die ich kaum verstand
    und damit weitere Fragen aufwarfen.

    Je mehr ich fragte, desto undurchsichtiger wurden die Informationen und stellten nur einen scheinbar schönes heiles Licht der Wirklichkeit und der Erkenntnis dar.

    Geblendet von den vielen Erkenntnissen die mein Innerstes tief berührten und an meinem Verstand zerrten, ließen mich mitunter an mich selber zweifeln.
    Ich wurde unsicher und grübelte über den Sinn, das alles wirklich ganz genau wissen zu wollen.

    Die Antworten die ich mit der Erlangung von Erkenntnissen erhoffte zu bekommen, warfen immer nur wieder neue Fragen auf.
    Ich drehte mich mit dem erreichten Wissen im Kreis und ließ mich von den an mir gegebenen Antworten blenden, ahnend, das es die falschen Informationen waren.
    Auf bohrende Fragen kamen dann immer mehr nur ausweichende Antworten und ich kam zu keinem mich befriedigenden Ergebnissen.
    Mir blieb also nichts weiter übrig, selbst die Fragen die mich bewegten mittels eigenem Denken zu beantworten.

    Die die mir meine Fragen beantworten sollten waren sich einig, mich mit deren Antworten hinter das Licht führen zu wollen und ließen mich einfach stehen.
    Die die mir helfen sollten, auch die aus meiner nächsten Nähe ließen mich allein mit meinen Fragen um herauszufinden, welcher Weg richtig sei.

    This is my favourite song from the seventies. When years later I asked my spiritual teacher, what is meant with "those, who close the open door" he said, that this is the inner dialogue.

    My question is my weaknesses in my life how can I give my life a peace of mind wen my surrounding is full of anger people ..

    A.... O....

    My answer is: seek the people who want to make you feel good. I'm sure you will find them! I wish you all good in life.

  45. L.... C....

    I loved that band and loved that album!
    And for those who had questions, listen the so good voice of Chris Hamlet Thompson:

    In a dream it would seem
    I went to those who close the open door
    And turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me

    They answered my questions with questions
    And they pointed me into the night
    Where the moon was a star-painted dancer
    And the world was just a spectrum of light

    They reached to my center of reason
    And pulled on the touchstone that's there
    The shock of that light had me reeling
    And I fell into the depths of despair

    Turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me

    They answered my questions with questions
    And set me to stand on the brink
    Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
    And all that was left was to think

    They answered my questions with questions
    And pointed me into the night
    The power that bore me had left me alone
    To figure out which way was right

  55. A.... O....

    Wen I here this song..I always remember wen I was a child..the childis mind

  56. A.... O....

    The roaring silence

  57. R.... B....

    Not crazy about this album at all Blinded By The Light is a great tune although overplayed this album for me has one gem song. Questions is a great tune, The Roaring Silence marks the arrival of new frontman Chris Thompson he has a great voice and very fitting for slower songs. The next Earth Band album had another great catchy tune called  California. If you like Questions check that one out.

  58. p.... ....

    It's not just the best track from the album - the lyrics will make you deeply think...
