Lyrics
Do you remember the mythic beast?
Referencing a mythic beast as a metaphor or symbol
A last-minute cancellation at The Last Supper
Describing a cancellation at The Last Supper, possibly implying unexpected events
"Oh, you've prepared us such an exquisite feast", he said
A compliment on someone's prepared feast or creation
"Now, what do you call it when every part of said bird is used?"
Questioning the utilization of every part of a bird in a feast, potentially symbolic of using all available resources
I pulled up stakes, I went out west
Leaving a place and heading westwards
Out past the insane desert, out past the useless farm
Travelling beyond desolation (insane desert) and unproductive spaces (useless farm)
And the parking lot, where the palm trees stoop
Observation of palm trees leaning towards the bishop's ring, possibly a nod to spiritual symbolism
To kiss the bishop's ring with the alley cats singing
Reference to alley cats singing and a hidden buzzer, contrasting urban elements with natural sounds
And the hidden buzzer that says "ocean" instead of the sound
Suggesting a distant oceanic ambiance replacing the sound of a ringing phone
Of your phone ringing, and ringing
Repetition emphasizes the persistent ringing sound, creating a sense of frustration or disturbance
And ringing, and ringing
-And ringing, and ringing
-And ringing
-Tintoretto, it's for you
Directly addressing someone named Tintoretto
Tintoretto, it's for you
Repeated address to Tintoretto, suggesting urgency or importance
The ceiling's on fire and the contract is binding
Mention of a chaotic situation with a burning ceiling and a binding contract, possibly representing entrapment or crisis
Your little one's sick at the sight, insert three syllables here at night
Concern for Tintoretto's child being sick, hinting at distress or vulnerability
They drop you from a great height
Metaphorical drop from a height into a destined-to-lose situation or conflict
Into a war that you were born to lose
Implying Tintoretto's involvement in a predetermined losing battle or struggle
Tintoretto, I think it's for you
Reiteration of the message directed at Tintoretto
Do you remember the mythic beast?
Repetition of the mythic beast reference, possibly symbolizing an ongoing theme or struggle
Do you remember the sound of it singing?
Recalling the sound associated with the mythical beast, connecting to memory and auditory cues
Ring the steel bell, I don't feel well
Expressing discomfort or illness, indicated by ringing a steel bell
I confess I don't feel much like singing
Confession of not feeling inclined towards singing, possibly due to somber emotions or circumstances
Death's tune's got three words, ding ding ding
Describing death's tune with repetitive words, emphasizing a haunting or repetitive nature
Now, repeat after me
Encouraging repetition, potentially indicating a ritual or pattern
Ah da da dum
Repetitive nonsensical sounds, possibly representing a ritualistic or incantation-like aspect
Ah da da da bum buh da dum
-Ah da da da bum buh da dum
-Buh duh duh da bum bum da dum
-Ah da
(Partial line) Part of a repeated nonsensical sound pattern
