Michael Rockefeller's Journey: Lost in Paradise
Lyrics
Poor Michael, poor Michael
Poor Michael, expressing sympathy or pity for Michael's situation
Poor Michael, poor Michael
Reiteration of sympathy for Michael
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Michael claims ignorance and lack of intention in a certain situation
He says he didn't know, he didn't want to
Repetition of Michael's claim of ignorance and unwillingness
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Continued denial of knowledge and intention by Michael
He held his head in his hands
Michael's physical reaction, possibly remorseful or distressed, holding his head
Poor Michael, all alone
Reiteration of sympathy for Michael, emphasizing his solitude
Lost in the steamy jungle
Michael is lost in a hot and humid jungle
Lost in the hands of God
Michael is in the hands of God, suggesting a dire or challenging situation
American in paradise
Describing Michael as an American in paradise, possibly ironic or contradictory
No need to fear the land
No need to fear the land, contrasting with the earlier sense of danger
Forest forever twilight
Depiction of the forest as perpetually twilight
Only ?
Unclear reference, marked as "?"
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Repetition of Michael's claim of ignorance and lack of intention
He says he didn't know, he didn't want to
Continued denial of knowledge and unwillingness by Michael
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Reiteration of Michael's denial of knowledge and intention
He held his head in his hands
Repetition of Michael holding his head, suggesting inner turmoil or remorse
Poor Michael, warm winds blow
Reiteration of sympathy for Michael, mentioning warm winds blowing
Paradise times forever
Describing a paradise with eternal times
Now he knows
Now Michael knows something, possibly a revelation or realization
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Repetition of Michael's claim of ignorance and lack of intention
He says he didn't know, he didn't want to
Continued denial of knowledge and unwillingness by Michael
He says he didn't know, he didn't mean to
Reiteration of Michael's denial of knowledge and intention
He held his head in his hands
Repetition of Michael holding his head, suggesting ongoing distress or remorse
