He bears a tattoo of The Dharma Wheel on his left shoulder. I have no idea if he's Buddhist, but it's a pretty good indication that he might have been influenced by the Eightfold Path, etc. I'd also never heard Embrace until now - gee, I've been missing out!

Another song from that era that came to mind is "The Hidden Wheel" by Guy Picciotto's pre- Fugazi band "Rites of Spring". Enjoy! It never seemed that close to me No it never seemed all that much to see But now it feels so real feels so real to me But now it feels so much Feels so much to see Is this the, The first time I've seen the color of this room? Is this the, The first time? Yes, I had a taste but I did not swallow And if I went it was just to follow And now a question was asked of me But now there's a question being asked of me Is this the, The first time I've seen the size of these walls? Is this the, The first time? Yes. Now I'm the angry son Everything I've learned was wrong I'm the burning door Once I'm opened I can't be closed I found a hidden wheel And it rolls to reveal that I'm the angry son I'm the angry son Embrace was one of my favorites in highschool, but I never considered there dharmic quality.

It never seemed that close to me
No it never seemed all that much to see
But now it feels so real
feels so real to me
But now it feels so much
Feels so much to see

Is this the,
The first time
I’ve seen the color of this room?
Is this the,
The first time?

Yes, I had a taste but I did not swallow
And if I went it was just to follow
And now a question was asked of me
But now there’s a question being asked of me

Is this the,
The first time
I’ve seen the size of these walls?
Is this the,
The first time?
Yes.

Now
I’m the angry son
Everything I’ve learned was wrong
I’m the burning door
Once I’m opened I can’t be closed
I found a hidden wheel
And it rolls to reveal that
I’m the angry son
I’m the angry son

Most music today, including punk, has very little meaning other than "I gots to get mine". It gives me hope to see that it isnt all that way. Brilliant…I might actually go and buy this album now.
