Usual Chaos - No life can happen

Now think.[/B] We see lava lamps in every day life, and worship them as stoners, trippers, and everybody else who appreciates life.
[I]But do we really know what they represent?[/I] Look at the orb, suspended in it's temperature-induced state.
If too hot to sink, it rises slowly to the top of the lamp, annihilation by cold..
If too cold to rise, it slowly begins it's descent, passing through it's brief period of beautiful suspension before sinking into the hellish heat that is the bottom of the lamp.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

What could this all be a metaphor for? Think about it.
Those suspended blobs our our existence, and our world goes through cycles. The orbs represent our universe, from death by heat and birth by cooling, to death by cooling and birth by boiling, continuing back and forth indefinitely.
We are floating right now, between birth and death, which is inevitably coming soon. We are near the pinnacle of human achievement, and what better time to go back to ashes?

As man, what else can we achieve? How long until we are annihilated and life has to start over?
If you look closely you will some pass through the scope of life too quickly, unable to achieve life.
Some collide, ending the chance of life early.
Thing is, we are still here.
The question - Are we special, or are we just nearing a collision?
Discuss these thoughts of the incredibly stoned mind.

Added Pink Floyd on Shuffle in the background, hope y'all can hear.
Run rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

<3 Lava Lamps
I cannot stop watching it TBH
Niqqha you high.
That's some heavy shit
[QUOTE=]
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

That song is so representative of what I am saying.
exactly dude!
That is fucking deep man, the next time I get super baked I will revisit this thread and listen to "Great Gig in the Sky". Chances are I'll cry just from the song but reading this will make it a much more intense moment.
Us, as that floating orb is suspended, we are moving, nothing special... I don't think so otherwise. The Lava Lamp is just a completely zoomed out view of us on our journey, the movement we see there is very fast, but when you zoom in specifically on one floating orb, the once rising very slowly, we begin to see what it represents. Us. As you zoom into it closer it slows down as everything we do is noticed.. but as you zoom out again, every action and event, although it may seem important and life changing to us, to the lava lamp it is just the very so slight push moving us further up in the liquid. One day these actions and events are going to push the orb right to the top, where all life chills off and we drop to the bottom.
...Then we shall rise again
