From Wikipedia:
Close to the Edge is the fifth album by British progressive rock band Yes.
Close to the Edge set a trend for Yes of including a single epic song significantly longer than the others which was followed in the later albums Relayer (1974) (which featured "The Gates of Delirium") and Going for the One (1977) (which featured "Awaken").
The spiritual influences introduced by Jon Anderson, which later formed the basis of Tales from Topographic Oceans, are already evident in the music and lyrics of all three tracks on Close to the Edge. Renewal and repetition are other main themes; the title track starts and finishes with the same sound effects of running water and birds and in "Siberian Khatru" there is the repetition of two-syllable phrases.
According to the fans, the title track is inspired by Hermann Hesse's book Siddhartha, an explanation which can cast the cryptic and mysterious lyrics in a new light, tracking the awakening of Hesse's character "close to the edge" of a river (and, symbolically, of the serial lifetimes of his soul) where he experiences a spiritual awakening.
