I Am Columbus
Discovering Hidden Worlds: I Am Columbus by Guided by Voices
Lyrics
Let's gather around
Invitation to gather or assemble together
See it now
Encouragement to perceive or understand something at this moment
Disappear that man
Suggesting the removal or disappearance of a particular person
Off in the distance
That person is located far away
She's laid out by solution
Someone is positioned or displayed in a vulnerable state due to a solution (possibly referring to a problem solved)
In the bad talent TV
Observation of a person on a low-quality television show or media outlet due to lack of talent
She's off in the distance, babe
The person mentioned earlier is still distant but waiting for the speaker
And she's waiting for me
Anticipation of meeting or encountering the person
I am Columbus
The speaker compares themselves to Columbus, symbolizing exploration or discovery
The prince to take us
Asserting themselves as a figure of authority or leadership to guide others
I'm taking it back
Expressing a desire to reclaim something
I'm taking the wine
Claiming possession or control of wine, possibly symbolizing pleasure or indulgence
A secret world
Alluding to a hidden or exclusive world
Take it back
Reiterating the desire to reclaim something
When we appear inside
Upon closer examination or entry, there is purpose or significance
Made out of purpose
Creation or existence borne out of intent or determination
There are silent tides
Reference to quiet or unnoticed movements or influences
Of you and your thinking, babe
Acknowledgment of the person's thoughts and their impact
It's closer to past fiends
Similarities to past adversaries or challenges
I'm refloorer
Rebuilding or restructuring something
I am Columbus
Reiteration of identifying as Columbus, an explorer
A nicotine animal
Comparing oneself to a creature addicted to nicotine, suggesting dependence or craving
A recent surgery
Reference to recent medical intervention or alteration
Gather well is your lounge
Encouraging a gathering or meeting in a comfortable space
And he's never around
Someone is consistently absent or unavailable
The point of direction
Significance of choosing a particular direction or route
The choice of a sound
The importance of selecting a particular sound or message
Paths to resurrection
Repeated emphasis on the paths or ways toward revival, rejuvenation, or new beginnings
The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
-The paths to resurrection
