Batman Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 If you didn't read my post in ATC's Lyrical Discussion Week 5, then I will say that this is much like ATC's lyrical discussions, except this thread will be more specific to deciphering confusing lyrics. This is different than me just going into the Q&A section saying "does anybody get these lyrics?" because this is more discussion based, and sometimes I will have an idea what the lyrics mean, and sometimes I won't. Anyways, here's the first lyrics, it is... Jimi Hendrix 1983 (a merman I shall turn to be) Hurray I awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So my love Catherina and me Decide to take our last walk thru the noise to the sea Not to die but to be reborn Away from the lands so battred and torn Forever forever Oh say can you see it?s really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick-tube shaped things Continue to rain and cause screamin? pain And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand And the sea is straight ahad Straight up ahead Well it?s too bad that our friends can?t be with us today Well it?s too bad The machine that we built Would never save us that?s what they say That?s why they ain?t comin? with us today And they also said it?s impossible For a man to live and breathe undrerwater Forever was a main complaint Yeah and they also threw this in my face they said Anyway you know good and well It would be beyond the will of god And the grace of the king Grace of the king Yeah Ooo So my darling and I make love in the sand To salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine it has done it?s work played it?s part well Without a scratch on our body when we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under we take our last look at the killing noise Of the out of style The out of style out of style oh yeah Oooo So down and down and down and down we go Hurry my darlin? we mustn?t be late For the show Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so my dear Right this way smiles a mermaid I can hear atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear atlantis full of cheer Oh yeah ------------------------------------ I am pretty sure that it is about becoming a merman to escape the troubled earth, but what I don't get is the 3rd verse.

OLD 55 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hmm! That's why I just listen to the music of songs, learn the chorus (but this doesn't have one), and hum the rest. Sounds like the Jules Verne classic "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea". Maybe it's Captain and Ms.Nemo getting ready to submerge in the "Nautilus".
