Caravan
(专辑: Pacific Myth - 2016)
Allow me a
moment to explain While you were sleeping the
ocean wasn't drained But transformed It yawned and groaned as it rose from its bed It stretched; diluted and extended its head And took corporeal form At least in part at first But when it encountered the
Earth It took a
deep draw in, extended its arms, and leapt into the
sky It took wing over mountain and rode on the
wind It traveled the
cities but as the
sun dimmed It grew fat and it cursed at the
earth In a
thunderous rage And a
display of bright lights It spat and began to give birth The
bloom is off the
rose, at least for me Dogs like me can bark, but the
caravan moves on When you finally awoke, a
new ocean had formed Through the
clamorous night, through the
magnificent storm It fell from the
sky to reform and preform Its endless endeavor in its worn uniform The
Sun, the
Moon, the
Earth, and the
shore Tired metaphors played out before your eyes Sedation, satisfaction But to be satisfied and entertained Without any source of intellectual gain Seems to be what's in fashion Interpret the
meaning To mean whatever you want it to be I've heard these same words fall from my own lips It falls flat and I
question its value It falls flat and I
question its worth In a
thunderous rage And a
display of bright lights It spat and began to give birth The
bloom is off the
rose, at least for me Dogs like me can bark, but the
caravan moves on Better to light a
candle than curse at the
darkness This is the
confluence of narrative and naivety Swallowing a
stream of lies and empty poetry You don't have to be the
one to tell me You don't have to be the
one to let me down A
catchy way of saying nothing But a
narrative seems to allude to something more With a
purpose and a
real direction But they're just words punched in a
template The
same mistakes we made before I, for one, am fucking tired Of conceptions that bring nothing new from the
womb But if every story is the
same Then the
rose has truly lost its bloom Can you sing it back to me? I
can't relate to this I
can't relate Maybe it's your preference But I
can't relate "Where is the
problem? We're entertained." My problem's the
consistency with every concept made Don't just tell me a
story What does it convey? "Where is the
problem? We're entertained." I
want to feel something more than just betrayed You are the
problem I
am the
problem Are you satisfied? Don't be satisfied
