Hollow Ponds
Echoes of Time: Damon Albarn's Hollow Ponds Journey
Lyrics
Chill on the hollow ponds
Reflecting or relaxing at the empty ponds.
Set sail by a kid
Embarking on a journey, possibly guided by youthful enthusiasm.
In the heat wave that hit us all, 1976
Recalling a significant heat wave in 1976 that impacted many.
I felt the percussion
Sensing a rhythmic beat or impact, possibly metaphorical.
The green man had gone
Observing a disappearance or change, symbolized by the green man.
Half my road was now a motorway, 1991
Noting transformation, with a road becoming a motorway in 1991.
I was by the Black Sea
Being near the Black Sea, indicating a geographical location.
Two hours in time
Experiencing a two-hour time shift or distortion.
Spiny urchins and a new school bell, 1979
Recalling memories of spiny urchins and a school bell in 1979.
Changed into lakeside
Undergoing a change, turning into a lakeside environment.
In January (hollow ponds)
Specifically mentioning January as a time frame for the change.
Modern life was sprayed onto a wall in 1993
Commenting on the impact of modern life displayed in 1993.
Where the horses and passing trains
Pointing out a location where horses and trains intersect.
Have been tangled reveal
Revealing entanglements or complications in that location.
In the green woods where you walked with me
Referencing a nostalgic place in green woods walked together.
Ship on hollow ponds was filled
Describing a ship on hollow ponds filled with shared dreams from CDs.
Up with the dreams we shared on our CDs
Highlighting the significance of shared dreams and memories.
Every moment now and everyday
Emphasizing the importance of each moment in the present.
Every moment now and everyday
Repeating the significance of cherishing each moment every day.
