Song lyrics
We barely remember who or what 
came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. 
Hold on, stay inside This holy reality, 
this holy experience. Choosing to be here in.....

This body. This body holding me. Be my 
reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in....

This body. This body holding me. Be my 
reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this 
chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

Is it just me, or does it seem like this song is about sex? More so making love... but am I the only one?

It's about birth, among other things.

This is an awesome song, my fave song on the cd!
When it comes to the meening of the song i have to agree what ciberfer said.
in the other hand i think tool compared this form for meditation with Hindu and/or Bhuddism, Parabol not about being born, Parabola is not about giving birth

Parabol is about being reborn.
The song starts like this:

So familiar
And overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide-eyed and hopeful
Wide-eyed and hopefully wild

This is about the person entering the body, while it's still in the mother, where it's nice and warm. It's a familliar feeling becouse the person has been alive before and embraces his new mother with the his/her love.
this is why the person refers to his/her bodey as a form he/she holds now.


We barely remember
What came before this precious moment
Choosing to be here

This is because noone would remember their former life, the memories fade away as the bodey ventures into a new form

This body holding me
Reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel
Eternal, all this pain is an illusion

This is when the persons mother is giving birth. and reflects to the mother's feelings at the moment of the childs birth

i partly agree to what Micola said becouse in the song where it says ''we'' barely rememer signefies that it shows both the child and the mothers feelings, parabol is about being reborn and the mothers feelings when she's giving birth to the child
