...and what it means to you

I remember
The day we pushed your piano
Out into the garden
Making tracks across the lawn

With tambourines and thunder
We climbed inside the limbs
Laughing down the rain
Swallow in the storm

Sometimes I
I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am
The colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there

In the dream dusk
We walked beside the lake
We watched the sky move sideways
And heard the evening break

Sometimes I
I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am
The colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there

To me, this reads like a love letter, and exercise in the weirdest form possible: pushing a piano.

I particularly enjoy the rhyme of "air" and "there". Air is http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ethereal" rel="nofollow -

Blackest Eyes:

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled

I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes

A few minutes with me inside my van
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over me

It's just so sinister.

You left a note in your perfect script
Stay as long as you like
I haven't left your bed since

Swilson's lyrics can be very hit or miss for me, but when he is good - damn he is good.

In my opinion at least.

Waiting Phase One

Waiting to be born again

Waiting for the saddest kind of pain

Waiting for the day

When I will crawl away

Nothing is what I feel

Waiting for the drugs to make it real

Waiting to be disciplined

Aching for your nails across my skin

I got wiring loose inside my head

I got books I never ever read

I got secrets in my garden shed

I got a scar where all my urge is bled

I got people underneath my bed

I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Swim with me into your blackest eyes

He captured and collected things

And he put them in a shed

He raised a proper family

So he could tie them to a bed

The creator had a mastertape

But he left it in a cab

I stared into the void tonight

The best dream I ever had

He worked himself into the ground

And drove a spike into his head

A voice said "Are you happy now?"

Your sordid home is running red

Pills and chloroform

All the pages torn

There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...

White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be
