In 1989, doing some lovely chat show, someone asked Jon about some of the lyrics that seemed to be nonsense. Jon replied that his voice was an instrument, and some words are a beautiful sound. Jim Keever Co

Jon has said that the lyrics to Siberian Khatru are mostly just that, a medium for the voice as instrument. Whereas, he's often side the lyrics to CTTE are inspired by the novel, Siddhartha.

Sometimes the words are just filler so he can sing, other times meaning, and sometimes when it means something it's hard to tell what.

Which is part of why I loved his lyrics so much in the classic YES period

They were fun, weren't they? I kind of liked that I had no idea what the
heck they were about at least half the time.

The esoteric to sometimes just plain word sounds nature of the lyrics was a big part of the attraction of YES music back in the early 70's for me.

We'd ponder and discuss the meaning endlessly and other times just let the soaring nature of the words and music take us away.

Album sides, new sounds that were groundbreaking and breathtaking with each new record... ahh classic YES

A lot of people are saying, not me but a whole lot of people are saying that Donald J. Trump is on it:

1) "I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of Khatru entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

2) "I will build a great Khatru – and nobody builds a Khatru better than me, believe me — and I'll build it very inexpensively. I will build a great, great Khatru on the south side of the sky, and I will make Mexico pay for that Khatru. Mark my words."

3) "He referred to my Khatru, if it's too small, then something else must be small... I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee it."

4) "You could see there was Khatru coming out of her eyes... Khatru coming out of her wherever..."

5) "Siberia, Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the Khatru that is missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

6) "I know more about Khatru than Jon Anderson does, believe me... "

Let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience
with the Dalai Lama. He was told he must first spend
eighteen years in contemplation.

After the 18 years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's
presence, who said, "Well, my son, what is it you wish to
know?"

So the pilgrim said, "I wish to know the meaning of khatru,
father."

And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, "Well my son,
'khatru' is just 'urtahk' spelled backwards... isn't it?"

According to Anderson, it means "As you wish" in the Yemeni dialect of Arabic.
