Beyond #2
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The byrds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
Helter Skelter was the song that inspired Charles Manson and his followers to commit the Tate-LaBianca murders, and summer swelter could be a reference to the summer of love or the long hot summer.
The Byrd's song Eight Miles High was banned for drug oriented lyrics, and one of them was arrested for Marijuana charges.
The last two lines in this verse could be refering to musicians trying to get into the spotlight while Bob Dylan was recuperating from his motorcycle accident.
In the halftime of the decade drugs were seemingly everywhere.
The Beatles new album "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" changed rock 'n roll forever through the use of synthetic sounds, album theme, and hidden meanings.
The youth of America never had the chance to dance because the Beatles changed rock 'n roll from dance music to longer slower songs.
The players trying to take the field were all of the other musicians of the time period but the Beatles (the marching band) were just too big to compete with
What was revealed is supposedly a reference to people's growing awareness of the hidden meanings and drug references in popular music

Beyond #3
In this picture we see a napalm bomb exploding in the forest while soldiers walk away, some look back, some don't need to. The exhausted men walk away from the fight many of them have lost close friends and many have taken lives for reasons no one will tell them. The soldier in the foreground bottom right walks away from his latest nightmare with his head hanging down while another trudges through the grass towards him. The men near the bushes look up in awe at the fiery cloud as it rises towards the sky. The battle may be over but the soldiers work goes on and on, and so they march on, to their next hidden objective.
