Regeneration of Time

In Lambchop's music video "Is a Woman," the path that the leaf, and ultimately other leaves, take part in to their destination of the tree, is direct symbolism relating to Eliade's concept of the "Road to the Center." The leaves journey to the tree, their center or home, where creation was established and where they all unite; as Eliade enforces in The Myth of the Eternal Return, "at the center of the universe, close to the miraculous tree (kien-mu), at the meeting place of the three cosmic zones: heaven, earth, and hell" (14). In the music video, this concept is established which represents one's journey to their origin, or center.
