Don't understand it :-/

[LupineRagdoll]

What do the lyrics in the song Close To The Edge mean? I was listening to it last night, when I realised that the only section of it that I understand is "I Get Up, I Get Down". The first two lines in the song are especially confusing! :P Can anyone help me understand it please? :)

CTTE is based on the life of the Buddah.

If you read 'Siddartha' by 'Hesse', you will understand the meaning of Close To The Edge.

It's that simple. Jon said so. I believe it.
