I will be waiting for you on the other side of the frozen pines.

I'm gonna' find a way through, there's another life beyond the line.

Lord Huron - Frozen Pines (2:57-3:25)

John Denver/Back home again. Seems like a sexual reference to me…

Ok so I believe there are 4 interpretations of this song but the one I will be talking about is kidnapping. The song is about a “riptide” or a man taking a girl to the dark side because she was beautiful like a “magicians helper” and was very talented. Forcing her to do songs for him and if she messed up he would beat her “singing her song praying she won’t get get the words wrong.” His friends turn green as in they are disgusted with him for what he’s become, he was always a social outcast scared of everything including pretty girls and conversations. In the music video is shows pretty clearly a women being beaten throughout when singing as her makeup is smeared. The hardest part to decipher for this song is “left hand man” one theory is referring to him being her second man, as she only has him but her right hand man is her man before she was kidnapped in her heart. But yea that’s just a theory a song theory!

Just trying to tighten my sound and lyrics up and I'd like someone's personal opinion. Thank ya

Hi. I've been listening to this underrated Eurovision song for a few months now and have been dying to know what it means. Personally, due to the royal imagery used throughout the song, I think it's about a girl who just married into royalty: "Jouez, jouez musiciens/Enchantes moi magicien/Tournes, tournes dans ma tete a moi/Fais briller les yeux des enfants rois". I believe that the main character in the song is gleefully embracing her newfound royal status, but I want to know what you guys think.

Song: Lost At See by Snow Ghost
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/snowghosts/lostatsea.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT8lzMpAaSk

Interpretation:

The idyllic imagery of ocean skies and honey-salted breezes is immediately juxtaposed with the dread of being 'lost at sea.' This tension speaks to a fractured reality where what seems like paradise is overshadowed by the inability to escape its suffocating grip. The imagery of waves lapping at the shore gradually transitions into the relentless pounding of the sea, symbolizing how peaceful moments are slowly overtaken by emotional and psychological turmoil, marking the start of a spiral.

An overwhelming and inescapable sense sets the background, like continually oceans waves. The occupying of the most intimate and sacred space, a relationship. The tension between peace and disaster. Even in all perfection, there are boundaries kept in place to shield away the potential threats. A withdrawal, self-imposed, an act of preservation.

As the spiral progresses, serenity begins to unravel. The promise of peace is swallowed by chaos - taking on water, more things fall into disarray. As rocks are eroded by ocean waves, the will to continue fades, "Why do you chose to continue on?" until the desire to continue on is shattered upon the shore.

The spiral deepens, a sudden violent transformation has occurred, what was once was has irrevocably changed. The foundations of the world shifted, in the void left behind is a profound emptiness emerges causing a continual emotional drain. The repeated 'mayday' serves not only as a desperate cry for help but also as an acknowledgement of futility. Each 'I am lost' becomes a marker of the protagonist’s isolation, a call that echoes into an abyss of unanswered distress. The sound is swallowed by the void, and the hope of rescue fades with each passing iteration as the spiral deepens.

The spiral culminates in a profound emptiness—an abyss where something once cherished is irrevocably lost. The emotional drain is all-encompassing, not just a fading of joy but a hollowing out of the self as if consumed by fire. What is lost is not only the relationship but a part of the narrator’s own humanity, a fundamental connection to the world they once knew. The emptiness left in the wake of this loss becomes an inescapable force, leaving the narrator stranded, not just 'lost at sea,' but lost within themself.

The narrator’s final cry for help is both a plea and a threat. Behind the walls, their hand reaches out, but their fist is clenched, ready to strike. This ambivalence speaks to the fractured nature of the self—caught between a desperate need for connection and an overwhelming fear of betrayal. The emotional dissonance that follows leaves the narrator locked in a paradox: they want to be truly seen, but cannot trust anyone to truly see them.

Heard that expression in the song 'Bless Your Heart' from chlothegod. The verse is "You can't be sober with intoxicating eyes". In the context of the song, it seems to mean something like to have a dangerous, malicious look, but I can't find anything related to that expression on Google, just things like signs of intoxication, or the word "intoxicating" alone as its own expression

I mean, personally, i think it’s about sacrificing morality for money, but when eating becomes a problem, morality becomes expensive (“It's so nice to have integrity…If you really have integrity / It means your price is very high” eg. stealing food in times wartime). Maybe even about opposing revolutionaries? “You can't always break the rules / People who try are fools…I've always found ideals / Don't take the place of meals“, ideals = ideology and eating is more important than right and wrong, and you can’t always go against the status quo (breaking the rules). Also probably about the left bc “being rich is no disgrace”, and not wanting rich people is a left-winged thing (communism, etc).

I’m linking this all with capitalism and communism because I’ve been reading up too much about the USSR 😭✋.

Sometimes because of auditive hallucinations or just bad translating from yourself you lose the meaning of the lyrics.

In Labor by Paris Paloma, I was reading this "the capillaries in my eyes are bursting" but in my french mind I was translating as if it was "the caterpillars in my eyes are bursting"

😭 So for a long time I was not understanding why caterpillars were bursting in her eyes. 🐛≠ 👁️🩸

I feel stupid... Who else who is not English mistranslate words even the easiest one?

Does he like his ass smacked or is he speaking from somebody else’s perspective because I’ve read the lyrics and am still having trouble lmao

Love to see some other interpretations of the lyrics
As for my own (which is more how I relate it to my own life) interpretation: Every thursday+saturday I head to locals to play a Magic The Gathering format called Commander which is a very social orientated format as it's 4+ players (rarely 3, most often 4 or more). We play for hoursand it'll be fun but eventually it's late ("Rhythm of the night")and I have to head back home ("It's been fun but I got to go") and always hope to see everyone next time ("When can we do this again, when can I see you again"). The double meaning of the "Look all around at the mountains you haven't climbed" can both refer to the massive amount of decks available in MTG thus so many cards to try & enjoy with friends but also one of the cards used as a resource in MTG is a literal mountain.
A fun song about enjoying life and hoping the friends along the way will see each other again <3

Why Am I So Short? Lyrics

[Chorus]

You may laugh at me

Say I don't deserve

All the things I've had

Sad...

[Verse 1]

I've got a drum kit and some sticks

So when I'm drunk or in a fit

I find it easy to express myself

I hit the drums so hard I break all the heads

And then I end the day in one of my beds

[Verse 2]

I'm nearly 5'7 tall

I like to smoke and drink and ball

I've got a yellow suit that's made by Pam

And every day I like an egg and some tea

But best of all I like to talk about me!

[Chorus]

You may laugh at me

Say I don't deserve

All the things I've had

thinking of going through all the artists and write all the lyrics i like and sorting them by feelings

My understanding is that he has attained a state in which he experiences something beyond the abyss you know what that is, and if you don't, you have no business speaking on this topic). A state in which he experiences life as a whole, a moment in eternity, in which space is so vast, "even Imy emotions have an echo]". In that vast space, he was "out of touch" [with reality as we know itl, because he wknew too much" while being in this other reality/dimension.

Okay, we’re looking for the name of a rap song that came out maybe 2016/2017, some lyrics of “Staying up till 4am listening to Colbear” or something. Album cover had a girl with a shot gun or something maybe? Please help, partner has been searching for this for like 5+ months. 🥴

My crush of a few months randomly sent me this song. I’d already expressed romantic interest, and he’d already expressed it takes a moment for him to develop those feelings.

Is this a rejection song? How do I interpret this? My heart aches.

We’re All Gonna Die by Joy Oladokun and Noah Kahan has a verse that partially makes sense to me:

“””I write s song

It’s got a couple deep lines

It’s bullshit Don’t it

Make me sound sorta wise

But I’m pissin In the dark

And hopin I hit the bowl

I’m afraid

Of what I

Can’t control”””

I don’t entirely get it but I think there’s some sort of pun and hidden wisdom there. Could someone please explain?

I've been listening to 'Take Me Back To Eden' by Sleep Token and he sings: 'My my those eyes like fire. I'm a winged insect you're a funeral pyre' which is absolutely captivating. When I'm emotional I think about one such 'funeral pyre' I had in my life. Her eyes were beautiful, but they were blue. Would you picture blue eyes when you think of 'eyes like fire'?

I came across this song when adding music to an Instagram post about harvesting and cooking sweet potato vines. Super delish, so whats the deal?

Why is she a good gal, because she Doesn't mess with the sweet potato vine?

When I first heard this song I loved it so much and was fascinated and bewitched by it. It's especially fascinating to me, the idea of wanting to find EAST of Eden, why someone would want to subject themselves to sin. It seems so purposeful and interesting, so I looked up what the song means and how others are interpreting it and it confuses me why so many say she's searching FOR EDEN and not what the song actually says, EAST OF Eden.

I keep seeing articles saying that East of Eden is about love, freedom and escape from society and social expectations and constraints. While I agree and it's a nice take on the song, they also always say she's trying to make it TO EDEN or similar sentiments, that she's referring TO EDEN.

https://www.musicto.com/playlist/rock-ultrasoftly/east-of-eden-zella-day/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CEast%20of%20Eden%E2%80%9D%20is%20a,how%20that%20song%20was%20born.%E2%80%9D This article is the first thing that pops up on Google for me. It says, "It alludes to aspects of the Bible’s Genesis to tell a story about love and escape." and "Zella is taking her audience into a beautiful world of love and escaping the cage from the east of Eden." Escaping the cage FROM the East of Eden?? No, the lyrics are "To FIND East of Eden, not to escape East of Eden itself?

https://www.songtell.com/zella-day/east-of-eden-digster-live-session This article says the song "seems to be about the desire to break free from societal expectations and constraints and find a place of true freedom and authenticity, symbolized by the mythical location of Eden. The lyrics describe a person who feels trapped and controlled, figuratively kept in cages, and the search for a way out, "running in the dark to find east of Eden."

The mention of a "tiger on the prowl" suggests a sense of danger and urgency in this search for freedom. It seems that the person is searching for a companion or guide to help them navigate this journey, someone who will "be their friend and surround them like a satellite." The lines "if I wanted to stay, you don't mind, you're a true believer" and "take it up with the badlands, creep on in like a concrete fever" suggest a rebellious and almost reckless attitude towards the search for freedom.

Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about the struggle to break free from societal restraints and find one's own path to authenticity and freedom. The reference to Eden adds a mythical and spiritual element to this journey, suggesting that the search for freedom is not just a physical one, but a deeply emotional and spiritual one as well." and while I agree, it doesn't give me any answers for why she would search for EAST of Eden specifically, especially with the mention of "symbolized by the mythical location of Eden" at the beginning of the article, instead of a different choice of words they could have used to specify that it's not Eden but EAST of Eden.

Genius has even more interesting and specific interpretations, though. https://genius.com/Zella-day-east-of-eden-lyrics For "Show your face and finish what you started" they have written, "Zella is telling the subject of the song to face consequences and not back down. In keeping with the biblical allusion, this could be seen as Eve telling Adam to stay with her as they leave Eden." LEAVING Eden is accurate for the chase to FIND EAST of Eden.

For "Tiger on the prowl, east of Eden" they say, "The majestic Tiger has a large presence in Chinese, Korean, and Dharmic cultures. It is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and South Korea. These cultures are all “East of Eden”." which, if nothing else, is at least still on the track of EAST of Eden.

For "Keep me from the cages under the control Runnin' in the dark to find east of Eden Keep me from the cages under the control Runnin' in the dark to find east of Eden To find east of Eden (Oh) To find east of Eden (Oh) To find east of Eden (Oh) To find east of Eden (Oh)" they write, "The phrase “east of Eden” anchors the entire song as a biblical allusion. “East of Eden” is mentioned in Genesis 4:16:

And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

In this aspect, the song channels Abel and Cain, but with the love dynamic of Adam and Eve.

Zella here plays a more proactive and seductive Eve, who purposely ate the apple to escape to the east of Eden. She doesn’t want to be trapped in the cage-like gardens, and she would give it all up (run in darkness) to leave." Now THIS is interesting and seems to keep the spirit of the song imo. The idea of the song being Eve's perspective is very unique and fascinating to me, although I'm not sure how much I actually buy into it, especially when they give no interpretation for the bridge for how that relates to Eve.

Myself personally, if I believed this interpretation, I'd write:

"If I wanted to stay You don't mind, you're a true believer" = Adam is with Eve, on her side, and calling him a "true believer" is a twist on him turning from God. Being a true believer of Eve and no longer of God, who he is obviously supposed to be a true believer in instead.

"Take it up with the badlands Creep on in like the concrete fever" = Badlands being East of Eden and their travels. Creep on in like a concrete fever can symbolize sin and allowing yourself to be sinful intentionally.

As for what Zella Day herself has said? Well, I couldn't find much (which is my own fault due to lack of motivation. It's not like I've tried very hard lol so feel free to share any interviews from her with me ❤️), but she does say, "Inspiration... "East of Eden" is written about a Steinbeck novel, and also my move out to California, all in one, all in one song, and "Compass" is a love song to my hometown." right here on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2jt1iy/comment/clet7tg/ I haven't read that book, so I am definitely missing potentially crucial context and I'm aware of that, but she states it's about her move to California. Since Compass seems to also hold importance, I'll reference it as well. Wikipedia also says, "Before the release of "East of Eden", in 2013, Day transitioned from living in Pinetop, Arizona to Los Angeles, California,[1][2] which alludes to the song's themes about love and escape." and "Its lyrics allude to John Steinbeck's novel of the same name, as well as the Book of Genesis. The song is about her struggle with escape. The song serves as a representation of Day's transition from leaving her hometown of Pinetop and into Los Angeles." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_of_Eden_(Zella_Day_song) Wikipedia stays grounded in what Zella Day has said herself and the facts around that, not going into heavy interpretation like Genius is.

The song Compass is supposed to be a love letter to her home town, which she also references traveling east, "the garden of your ecstasy", "making a heaven" and "building ourselves a mansion". This all seems to allude to me that this IS Eden, or at least tied TO East OF Eden. It does make sense in the context of it being about her home and her move, but it does also make sense in the context of a relationship and love, and of Adam and Eve as Genius interprets. If in the context of Adam and Eve leaving Eden, it makes sense that home would be the east (of Eden), close to Eve. Especially if Eve did intentionally sin so they could leave Eden in the context of Eden being a cage. It would make sense for Eve to be the East if she had specifically sinned intentionally, the East of Eden is supposed to be sinful human nature. "If we make it out alive" and lyrics from East of Eden like "tiger on the prowl, coming for you now" make sense with the danger and traveling East of Eden, as well. "Take me to the garden of YOUR ecstasy. Make myself a heaven from YOUR falling leaves" and "I will take the pieces, put them back together", "build ourselves a mansion" and "love you in the way that you needed love" all imply sexual intamcy and building a new home together (Land of Nod?) to me, especially if you include the lyrics from East of Eden about undressing. The only real difference is that one sounds modern, "DENIM sky UNBUTTONED down the middle. Spilling out little by little" as opposed to "Make myself a heaven from your FALLING LEAVES" with the leaves being their makeshift clothing after realizing they were naked. "Love you in the way you needed love" especially, to me, implies about Eve's creation in the first place to be a companion for lonely Adam.

"Compass points you home Calling out from the east Compass points you anywhere Closer to me If we make it out alive, from the depths of the sea Compass points you anywhere Closer to me Where you are, I will be Miles high, in the deep Where you are, I will be Anywhere, in between Take me to the garden of your ecstasy Make myself a heaven from your falling leaves" and "I will take the pieces, put them back together Even when the grass isn't green enough Taking all the badges, build ourselves a mansion Love you in the way that you needed love"

I have a few interpretations of this song, though. Something I find incredibly fascinating in this song is the dichotomy of modern day with the prehistoric Eden. "Pink toes pressed against the carpet", "The record spins down the alley", "surround me like a satellite" juxtaposed with "tiger on the prowl" and obviously "east of Eden". "Cages" and "the dark" also seem to be important considering they're repeated. "Denim sky unbuttoned down the middle" and "concrete fever" are also interesting. It does tell me that this song is supposed to be set in modern day, though, which is the reason I can't get behind the Eve interpretation too much. I do prefer to interpret this song in the context of relationships, though, and the consequences to one's freedom. Or even more specifically, if love even does bring freedom at all.

1. The abuse interpretation:

This one reads to me in the context of a girl wanting to stay with her abuser despite the harm he's causing.

"Pink toes pressed against the carpet Show your face and finish what you started" can be read in an aggressive and confrontational tone.

"The record spins down the alley, late night Be my friend, surround me like a satellite" can be read as possessive or even just simply codependent.

"Tiger on the prowl East of Eden Coming for you now" again, can read as abusive to me, if the abuser is supposed to be the tiger coming for her. That could mean grooming, that could mean stalking, that could mean a physical attack, etc.

"Keep me from the cages under the control" could refer to either the abuser controlling her, or in her perspective him saving her from others. If she sees her concerned support system as oppressors keeping them apart, the latter would bode.

"Running in the dark to find East of Eden" if she wants to stay with him, it would bode for East of Eden to represent abuse and for her to be running blindly into something she doesn't understand.

"Call me wild, drinking up the sunshine Be my man and show me what it feels like Denim sky unbuttoned down the middle Spilling out little by little" makes sense for her perspective, considering herself wild and describing intimacy in a way like this.

"If I wanted to stay You don't mind, you're a true believer" yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't mind lmao In her perspective, he's on her side, "a true believer"

"Take it up with the badlands Creep on in like the concrete fever" again, can be read in the context of abuse and the escalation, "creep on in". The word fever and the imagery of something cold and hard like cement is also interesting and seems negative imo.

2. The better interpretation imo, the romantic or even just sexually charged interpretation:

For me, it gives rich girl fell in love with poor boy vibes lmao Like maybe Titanic, or even going as far Aladdin. She is curious about his life and wants to leave her her own even if it brings more struggle. She sees it as love being with it though, as she feels trapped in her easier life. Compass also works well with this interpretation.

"Pink toes pressed against the carpet Show your face and finish what you started" reads to me in this context as much more playful. He's made her curious and feel more whole even without much money and she wants to be with him.

"The record spins down the alley, late night Be my friend, surround me like a satellite" again, reads more positively in this context and more lovingly.

"Tiger on the prowl East of Eden Coming for you now" if the hardships of his situation and her carelessly throwing away her old life are considered, this could make sense. The "tiger" could also just refer to falling in love, tho? Just not worded so much in a very romantic way lol

"Keep me from the cages under the control Running in the dark to find East of Eden" her choosing him.

"Call me wild, drinking up the sunshine" how she'd probably be viewed.

"Be my man and show me what it feels like Denim sky unbuttoned down the middle Spilling out little by little" just being with him and sex, pretty simple, ya know.

"If I wanted to stay You don't mind, you're a true believer" if they're in love, nothing else matters to them I suppose.

"Take it up with the badlands Creep on in like the concrete fever" again, could still be read in this context.

Just tweak some things and remove the concept of ACTUAL love and this also still works well in the context of just sex, too, imo.

3. The queer love interpretation:

Compass also works well with this interpretation, too.

"Pink toes pressed against the carpet Show your face and finish what you started" could be read as two girls in love, one urging the other to come out so they can be together.

"The record spins down the alley, late night Be my friend, surround me like a satellite" reads well in this context, imo.

"Tiger on the prowl East of Eden Coming for you now" coming out, mayhaps? The tiger could be to showcase the potential danger in doing so.

"Keep me from the cages under the control Running in the dark to find East of Eden" definitely coming out and then finally being together.

"Call me wild, drinking up the sunshine" engaging in this relationship could be considered "wild" to some.

"Be my man and show me what it feels like" kinda makes this one fall apart lmao but I still find it a sweet interpretation, and this can still be turned around to fit, even if I have to bend over backwards for it lol Like, it could be the girl who hasn't come out imagining if her girlfriend was a man, or it could be mocking, etc etc have an imagination lol

"Denim sky unbuttoned down the middle Spilling out little by little" obviously this is still sexually charged imo.

"If I wanted to stay You don't mind, you're a true believer" still works well in this context.

"Take it up with the badlands Creep on in like the concrete fever" also still works well, especially if she's rejected for her sexuality.

So anyway, that's it for now. This was fun, I enjoyed thinking up so many potential meanings for this song. I'm sure I could come up with more but I'm done rn. I'd love to hear other interpretations and what East of Eden means to others, if it's just about sin directly like Eve or if it's metaphorical, like for abuse or relationships deemed taboo or unacceptable? I don't like the idea of saying she's trying to reach EDEN when it specifically says to find EAST of Eden, tho, since that seems just plain inaccurate to the lyrics.

I hope someone enjoys this, it was really fun to write. Thanks for reading ❤️

I interpret the lyrics from the perspective of someone who chooses to be single, warns against marriage and how his married friends view him as an oddity for not choosing the same path as them.

On bended knee is no way to be free (Proposing) Lifting up an empty cup I ask silently (Best man speech/ toast at the wedding) That all my destinations will accept the one that's me So I can breath (don’t judge me for not following in your steps)

Circles (wedding rings) they grow and they swallow people whole (takes over your identity) Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know (projecting successful facade) Got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul So it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go Holding me like gravity are places that pull (I cant commit to your ideals, I beat to my own drum) If ever there was someone to keep me at home It would be you... (I’m starting to understand why people settle down)

Everyone I come across in cages they bought They think of me and my wandering But I'm never what they thought (Maybe they pity me for not having a stable life plan, or maybe they envy it since I don’t come Across as a vagabond) Got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts I'm alive... (sure, I have a chip on my Shoulder and don’t agree with society, but it’s my path and I don’t regret it)

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere Underneath my being is a road that disappeared (he’s in the here and now, connected with nature and the meaning of existence, not tied down with thoughts of the rat race) Late at night I hear the trees They're singing with the dead Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be Consider me a satelite for ever orbiting I knew all the rules but the rules do not know me Guaranteed... (He’s chosen a different life path and he’s going to make it work, hell With the rules and expectations of society)

This specific live version of the famous Dolly Parton song 'Jolene' is incredible if you understand the back story behind this White Stripes rendition that was performed live.

The Back Story:

As expected with Jack White, He always puts some raw energy into his guitar, vocals and the overall composition of whatever song he is performing, But this song specifically has a deeper meaning to him and the stripes that not many people completely know about.

At the time of their performance of this song in Blackpool, Jack White and Meg White were recently separated. This combined with Jack Whites raw emotion in his voice makes this version of the song have a truly powerful tone and emotion tied into it.

You can even hear the emotion in his voice when singing, like Jack is directly singing to Meg begging her to not leave him and his fear of her moving on with another man.

Let me know what you think! Would love to hear your thoughts also.

Link to YouTube so you can have a listen yourself. Jolene - The White Stripes

I like the song, I like the sound, the vibe, but I have NO CLUE what we are singing about. I also don’t understand the “there’s no sex in your violence” line. I’m sorry if this is silly and obvious, I just really don’t get it?

song is sailor song by gigi perez. what does this lyric mean? i know swear like a sailor means to swear excessively, but i don't know about love like a sailor.

its a very vague love song but its the dynamic between the singer and Eleanor that really intrigues me.

at first the singer praises her like a god; he basically says she could do anything to him and he’d still love her. but then later he goes on to sing “she’s a lady but she could never be free/she could never be me.” so he loves and worships her but also thinks she doesnt have the same freedom as him? whats that about?

and why does he keep repeating that hes sure shes doing alright? why would there be any doubts about that? “she’s walking on the clouds up there” insinuates that she’s dead. but how does that relate to her not being free? ii have no idea. but its so much fun to think about 🌸🌸🌸

So the official lyrics for this song at the problem area are "Where the sound of the ocean is all you can hear" but he's CLEARLY saying something right in between THE and OCEAN. I'm going crazy because all I can find is just the same WRONG lyrics. I would absolutely love to sing this song but I would hate to mumble that part because of some stupid lyrics. Please help.

Marching in a marching band

This song was written today, and I'm a little rusty. I've written literally thousands of songs in my life but I'm experimenting with lyrical form here and it would be interesting to hear some thoughts on what this does for you, the reader.

-Marching in a marching band- . . V1

Clocktower on every corner

But I'm still bouncing down the street

At the twist of every hour

Plastic bags howl out receipts

And I recede

Inside of me

Been browbeat,

I'm a criminal

Loudest with whispered speech

An ardent martyr meets an axe head

And as the wine spills at her feet

We all cry out against the tragic death

Of liberty

HOOK

Marching in a marching band

The ratatat tat of the rhythm

Raining down on me

Marching in a marching band

Explosions composed as

Melody

V2

To hell with me

No help needed

For me to bleed

Ink from the times

Graffitis' the beach

Grains of sand

Burning pipe of pitch

The dancefloor turns dirt again

Back in time we turn our heels

The dancefloor turns dirt again

Durns Turt ahead

HOOK

Marching in a marching band

The ratatat tat of the rhythm

Raining down on me

Marching in a marching band

Explosions composed as

Melody

FIN
