The Glory of the Body
Revelations in Flesh: Embracing Life's Mysteries
Lyrics
I own the bankers that own the land
I claim ownership over those who control the land and financial institutions
I own the sky and the ocean's sand
I assert control over the sky and the sands of the ocean
I own the waters of death's dark command
I possess authority over the waters associated with death's command
Now that I roam in the glory of your body
Expressing a sense of freedom and empowerment through the admiration of another person's body
They say much of man, too much is being said
Commenting on the excessive talk about humanity, suggesting a need for brevity
They say the best he came up with are scientific facts
Mentioning that scientific facts are the best achievements of humanity
But one code will never be cracked
Emphasizing that certain mysteries, especially related to the body, remain unsolved
Lo and behold: the mystery of the body
Highlighting the awe-inspiring mystery inherent in the human body
I climb these steps of stone
Symbolic ascent from a state of despair, possibly personal or societal
From the realm of despair I've grown
Indicating personal growth and overcoming challenges
I can only move on
Expressing a determination to keep moving forward
I'm just a passenger of the old forgotten song
Describing oneself as a participant in a forgotten song, possibly alluding to history or tradition
I'm having my trial for the glory of the body
Facing a trial or challenge in the pursuit of appreciating the human body
She said don't protect me with the vision that you have
A request not to be protected by someone else's perspective
I said I can't bear to see these Georges Bataille photographs
Expressing discomfort with explicit images, possibly referencing Georges Bataille
And anyway I don't want to be chased by your past
Declining to be haunted by the past and seeking solace in the partner's body
Just cover my tears with the whisper of your body
Asking for emotional comfort through the partner's physical presence
All progress comes slow she said while slipping off her dress
Commenting on the slow pace of progress, possibly in a relationship
The men in suits I hear are ready to confess
Suggesting that influential individuals are ready to confess their limitations
That they can't go on in their Wild Wild West
Critiquing the unsustainable nature of the "Wild Wild West"
They are yearning to expose the gold of your body
Expressing a desire to reveal the inner beauty or value of the partner's body
I climb these steps of stone
Reiteration of personal growth and ascent from despair
From the realm of despair I've grown
Continuation of the theme of overcoming challenges
I can only move on
Reaffirmation of the commitment to keep moving forward
I'm just a passenger of the old forgotten song
Restating participation in a forgotten song, emphasizing the passage of time
I'm having my trial for the glory of the body
Facing a trial or challenge for the sake of appreciating the human body
