Taiga
Transformation in Taiga: Embracing Change and Reunion
Lyrics
I'm setting up the fire
I am igniting a fire.
with trembling hands
My hands are shaking as I do this.
I'm hoping wet wood will burn
I hope that damp wood will catch fire.
Everything's changed
Everything has undergone a significant transformation.
like every 7 years
Similar to the cyclical change that occurs every seven years.
I'm trying to be prepared
I am making an effort to be ready for what is to come.
In the heart of the taiga
In the heart of the taiga (a dense forest in Siberia),
on a little glade
On a small open space,
scared and without new name
Feeling afraid and nameless.
In the heart of the taiga
Repetition of the setting in the taiga.
on a little glade
Reiteration of the fear and lack of identity.
I'm waiting for the Whale
Anticipation for an encounter with the Whale.
I see big black ants
Observation of numerous black ants.
hundreds of them
Hundreds of them,
gettin’ in through nostrils
Entering through the nostrils,
and heading to my brain
Advancing towards the brain.
They're going to change
They are poised to alter what was confined in my cells.
what was locked in my cells
Their purpose is to transform.
they're creating
They are in the process of creation.
they're shaping
Shaping a bold, new individual.
a brave brave new man
I see his shape now over the trees
A large, gray mass appears beyond the trees.
great gray bulk on the horizon
The Whale's presence becomes evident on the horizon.
He's floating in the air like...
It floats in the air, the nature of which is uncertain.
I don't know?!
Expressing uncertainty about the floating entity.
I'm trying not to lose control
Struggling to maintain composure.
I'm waving my hands
Gesturing with hands,
sending signs
Signaling and trying to communicate.
screaming at the top of my lungs
Loudly shouting to get attention.
He's getting pretty close now
The Whale is approaching closely.
Oh my God!
An exclamation of awe or realization.
We're going to reunite
The anticipation of a reunion with the Whale.
In his belly
Inside the Whale's belly,
I am fulfiled and
Fulfilled and satisfied.
now we finally
Finally able to return home.
can go home
Where's my old name?
Questioning the whereabouts of the old name.
well I don't need it
Declaring the lack of necessity for the old name.
Anymore
No longer needing the old name.
