Old Bloody Orange
Echoes of Fading Memories
Lyrics
Old bloody orange
Referring to something aged or worn, possibly symbolizing experience or history.
There was a time,
Reflecting on a past period.
There was a day
Emphasizing a specific moment in the past.
When we came and went
Describing movement and transition in the past.
And the gates, they swung to the changes
Highlighting changes and shifts symbolized by swinging gates in the wind.
In the wind
Further emphasizing the dynamic and changing nature of the past.
There was a night when,
Recalling a specific night in the past.
We reached and caught for eachother
Expressing a connection and mutual reach between individuals.
Oh please say that it's not,
Pleading for reassurance that something valuable is not permanently lost.
Its not lost forever
Reiterating the fear of irreversible loss.
Old fuzzy peach
Referring to another fruit, possibly symbolizing memories or nostalgia.
I know you remember
Eliciting a recollection of the past.
I came every year til I was older
Describing a recurring annual visit until maturity.
I lost all my sense,
Expressing a loss of rationality or sensibility.
And moved to the city
Relocation to an urban environment.
And look at me now
Reflecting on the present state.
I'm lost and I'm broken
Describing a state of disarray and emotional turmoil.
Where the good words not spoken
Questioning the absence of positive communication.
Oh please say I'm not,
Requesting confirmation that hope is not permanently lost.
Not lost forever
Repeating the fear of eternal loss.
La la la, La la la
Repetition of nonspecific vocalizations, possibly representing emotional expression.
Old sour grape
Referring to another fruit, potentially symbolizing a different aspect of the past.
Tell me a story
Requesting a narrative, possibly seeking wisdom or guidance.
Of two naked lovers out testifying
Depicting a tale of intimate disclosure and vulnerability.
Beating their drums on a salty coastline
Describing a passionate and rhythmic expression of love in a natural setting.
With blood in their tears
Highlighting the emotional intensity with tears containing symbolic significance.
Held down from the heavens
Symbolizing the struggle of keeping something divine grounded.
By the virtues of their bodies
Emphasizing the connection between the earthly and the divine.
Their trying to make it last,
Expressing a desire for enduring love or experience.
Make it last forever
Reiterating the aspiration for perpetual love or memories.
