The archeologists found
Some winged boy's remains
Stained by the fire and clouds
In the belly of a whale
The day the lightning came.
The belly of a whale....
Packed up and shipped to London
Discard, discard, the rotted parts
Preserve the heart and the lungs.
i'm not sure what it means, but i love the imagery!
Like so many Wintersleep lyrics...I love them, yet don't really know what they mean.
I've fallen in love with Lipstick:
Am I made of plastic
Am I made of sand
Am I made of pieces of a broken hand
Am I beautiful or worthless
Like there ever was a difference
I will paint my face with lipstick
I will scar the clouds with kisses.~AKA Dave-of-the-dead~
I don't wanna think, I wanna feel

ok... since we're on a lyric kick,
i'd like to share Drunk on Aluminum, which is crammed full of really unique words and imagery: :cool:
oh my, are you the beast again?
is it the violence you like?
oh my, i feel it crawling in,
gnawing, reptilian,
in the lost lonely night.
i wanna know
cut out the sickness
cut it in self defence
cut the yellowing eyes
skylines, bloody and cancerous
color the dead patches
make it white, make it white
wild eyes, i feel the teeth again
gnawing and imminent
in the lost lonely night.
oh my, give me the words again
paint it aluminum
make it white, make it white.
i guess i should ask... what do those words make you think of?
i makes me imagine an old white metal patio table, all bubbled with rust spots, in the middle of the the badlands
something like this: http://www.gomedia.us/arsenal/images/texturepacks/rust-prev1.jpg

Easily my favorite song on the new record. Speaking of which, I just got back from the Calgary show and it was freakin' brilliant! The new songs sound incredible, and the older stuff was great too. "Orca" was particularly amazing and the crowd sang along to every word. "Jaws of Life" brought the house down."I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

omg! i forgot that the calgary show was coming up! that's sweet!! Glad you had a good time...
Jaws of Life is certainly a crowd pleaser!
In Hamilton though, I think it was Murderer that got the biggest response... in fact, Paul laughed and said something to the effect of:
"Ok then, I think we'll just play THAT one again!!"
hehe... too funny.~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~0 -

The obssession I have with this band is growing....:)

Drunk on Aluminum: "Give me the words again"
Murderer: "Give me the words you said you liked"
Archeologists: "The day the lightning came"
Murderer: "We were lovers in July, then the lightning came"
Archeologists: "Stained by the fire and clouds"
Weighty Ghost: "Sick of these god damned clouds"
Murderer: "Are you a violent man?"
Drunk on Aluminum: "Is it the violence you like?"
Did anyone else notice this? What do you think? lack of variety/creativity? or does it tie the theme of the record together better?
Obviously, I don't think there's a lack of creativity... I think it ties the whole album together....
can you think of any others?~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~0 -
Clouds come up a lot.
People Talk: I'm afraid of God and all his angry clouds.
Lipstick: I will scar the clouds with kisses.
I don't think it's a lack of creativity. A lot of artists have recurring themes in their music and lyrics, and a good example of this is Pearl Jam.
On a side note, I ordered the three albums from the Wintersleep website on the 4th of Novbember. What did I find waiting for me when I got in today? :eek: Only four days later, all the way from Canada! 10c should take a leaf out of the Wintersleep delivery book.~AKA Dave-of-the-dead~

Just thought of another. Monsters.
Faithful Guide: I dreamt you were a monster with fiery fiery eyes.
Orca: I'll be a killer whale when I grow up, i'll be a monster.~AKA Dave-of-the-dead~

They're all AWESOME. Has anyone else spotted this?~AKA Dave-of-the-dead~
