Four Cypresses
Chaos and Creation: Four Cypresses Unveiled
Lyrics
Instead of moving
Instead of taking action or making a change
You stared into the wall
Engaged in deep contemplation or introspection
Tangled up in a pile
Involved in a confusing or complicated situation
It's early
Referring to an early stage or time
Make no sound
Advising to remain silent or discreet
Living in a pile
Existing in a chaotic state
It's chaos but it works
Chaos is present but functional
Planes flying overhead so early
Planes flying overhead early in the morning
Dreadful sound
Describing a disturbing or unpleasant noise
Four cypresses seen from a neighbor's yard
Observing four cypresses from a neighbor's perspective
No memory, a future
Lack of recollection and uncertainty about the future
Drawing down
Mention of a drawing down, possibly alluding to a conclusion or decline
Planes flying overhead so early
Reiteration of planes flying early, reinforcing a sense of disturbance
Make no sound
Emphasizing the need for silence or stillness
Four cypresses torn from the roadside
Reference to four cypresses taken from the roadside
Great thundering noise from the hillside
Describing a loud and impactful noise from the hillside
Some thousands of years built it up
Highlighting the ancient origins of something
Some crumbling form to be torn down
Anticipating the decay or destruction of a form or structure
Living in a pile
Living in a chaotic state
Tangled in a pile
Entangled in a confusing or complicated situation
It's chaos but it works
Chaos is present but there is a functional aspect to it
