Zebra – Who's Behind The Door? lyrics
We sailed away
We walked 2 thousand miles
And then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what
The world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for

Looking out to the stars
Think about what you are
What do they think of you
Animals in their zoo
They haven't got the time
Landing's not on their minds
How do they have the nerve
We're animals in preserve

They watch us all
They're only making sure that we
Don't trip and fall
Now they look so hard
But they can't tell us why they're
Here and just what for
Because they don't know
Who opened up the door

How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon

How much more do you really
Think you know than a flower
Does about who's behind the door!

    I think he is talking about aliens who are watching us but not willing to let us see them yet. I always thought we are their experiment and we are their zoo creatures. How did they have the nerve to play God. We opened up the door and escaped their zoo. But we still don't know who's behind the door. Who are these creatures who took liberties with our lives.

    I think it’s about the afterlife and who is going to greet us as we pass on to the next chapter as a spirit or being. When we leave our human fourm and pass on to the next stages as an entity. Where we go and what we do when we get there.

    Loved this song as kid in the 80's. Rang as an alien type song then. Still does, in a way. Pulling at all kinds of strings through the years have led my path. Holding on to threads that held weight, letting go of/moving through the loose ones. Listening to this again after all this time, it's amazing how the lyrics so closely match the threads that held. The progression, or journey, to here. Add the visuals in the original video and its down right creepy. (We all have the same, unfortunate amount of insight into the greater mysteries. Very little.)

    I think one possibility is that the uncertainty of how anything can turn out for anyone could be ascribed "to the stars". Sort of like the astrologers do.
    The opening stanza mentions "we" and I take that to suggest it's about a pair of lovers at some early point in their relationship who are seeking insight as to where their love will take them.
    The second stanza could mean a lot of things, but I think it's saying we humans ascribe too much meaning to external things and that the answers are within us all, yet aren't immediately observable. As long as the lovers keep their hopes and guidance as lofty as the stars, then at least they are headed the right way. Sort of how the ancient mariners were guided by the stars.
    The third stanza is explaining the bewilderment the lovers experience when they discover they've had the answers all along, but they are concerned for how much time they have left as mortals. The unwatched men could be whatever fate befalls them which ends their existence as corporeal beings and transcends them to a higher one - although they don't want to rush that event because they enjoy their newly-founded love. I suppose the message is to not rush through life and exist in the moment. After all, the flower lives that way.

    I'd have to guess this song is about near-death experiences. Those waiting for us in the afterlife were not expecting us so suddenly. That light at the end of the tunnel was meant to blind us, as a security measure, long enough while they decide our fate (live or die), and to not see them prematurely. Eventually, for good or bad, all of god's flowers will find their answer.

    The leader (most people call god) stepped through a porthole he wasn't meant to step through. Since he has more important things to do, he gave demigods the task of watching over us. We are like animals in a zoo in that regard, but we are not in physical cages so we think we are "free". Some of use, like zebra is doing here, question why we aren't free like they are, and are answered with "our zookeepers are too busy with more important things than to worry about the monkey running around earth behind a door the zookeepers accidentally opened and then couldn't close.

    It means for myself. Were controlled by goverment and very powerful people, who dictate to us how we live our lives. Also. The truth is no one really knows where we came from, or who created. We think we know, but we don, T. Humans think (or like to- ego) they know everything. On this planet people know who, s behind the door, but if we look out into the universe. We don, t know whos behind the door.

    "looking out to the stars.
    Think about what you are.
    What do they think of you.
    Animals in their zoo.
    They haven't got the time.
    Landing's not on their minds.
    How do they have the nerve.
    We're animals in preserve.
    Think about it. Landings not on their minds? It's about aliens watching us from afar.
    I agree. No time, landing is not on their mind, yet we are animals in a zoo, aka prisioners. Why would any being want to land on a prison? And yes, we do know as much as a flower about what is behind the door. The flower looks pretty, provides seeds and sometimes food, but does it care what is behind the door? Does your average working stiff who comes home, drinks a beer and watches a football game?

    The song begins in such a way as to sound like a song about two sweethearts remembering the old days - when they first fell in love. That hooked me back when it debuted back in the early 1980's. It's a very good song - one which should have launched Zebra into a prolific career. Nonetheless, we are blessed to have such a timeless song to listen to.

    It is about Illuminati the current elite pulling the strings of the world. Right now WEF, WHO. They are always the ones since the days of Pharaoh pulling the strings on the lower classes.

    We are just their animals they do experiments on in their quest for transhumanism like the story, "Island of Dr. Moreau.". The WEF is all about transhumanism. We are the experimental subjects.
    As old as this video is, the symbolism isn't lost. The black and white checkered floor, ( common in Freemasons), the room of computer surveillance..way before we knew of NSA.
    The symbol in the sky is like a giant QR code... everyone standing looking at it ...the QR controlling them. The QR codes currently grant access to many things.
    In the video, the children disappear, symbolic of humanity disappearing with these poison Injections. No more fertility...the last flower in a barren landscape. (Joe Smalley substack shows the damage being done and proof is in the Quantitative Data Analysis).
    This band was sending a message of the future to come. They run in the circles at the top. They know the game. The song is an artistic warning for those who can see the writing on the wall.

    Written by an accomplished musician who, unfortunatly, knows about as much about life and its meaning as does the flower he's written about. He should have paid as much attention to the gospel of Christ as he did to his music. He therefore joins the ranks of other musicians who, while very talented, can only point to the problems and have no wisdom needed to help humanity. A product of secular education.
