Sunrise in East
Sunrise Dreams: Unveiling the Tapestry of Life in Jacob Bellens' Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Now you told us to leave
Expression of being instructed to leave
But we wanted to stay
Desire to stay despite the instruction
Had a love for the game and the music we play
Love for the game and music as motivation
There were great things among the recordings we made
Recognition of greatness in recorded works
We used to have it on tape but we threw it awayw
Loss of recorded memories by discarding tapes
Here beggars and bangers go bump in the night
Reference to diverse individuals in the environment
A guitar will switch on the overdrive
Description of a guitar switching on overdrive
And a girl will give birth to a voodoo child
Metaphorical birth of a voodoo child
In a basement below where we sometimes hide
Occasional hiding in a basement
Where tomorrow lights the present like a flame child
Tomorrow influencing the present intensely
Like men give in to madness where life itse
Comparing life to madness
lf is like a web of dreams
Life depicted as a web of dreams
we’ve been sitting in the shadows scraping blood from off our knees
Enduring hardships and collecting scars
Waiting for the sun to warm our bodies
Awaiting positive change represented by the sun
In the middle of the meadows like a swarm of hungry bees
Metaphorical depiction of a group in a difficult situation
Full of poisonous chemics and honey
Negative elements mixed with positive ones
Where the question in mind like a hole in the head
Mind filled with unanswered questions
Is the last of the poets to die in bed
Poetic expression of the last poet's demise
Where the greatest thing you have ever said
Highlighting a significant statement made
Is ‘the sunrise in East and the queen is dead’
Quoting 'the sunrise in East and the queen is dead'
Where the sound of laughter cuts you like a knife
Laughter causing emotional pain
The jokes are long and leave you tired where everyone deserts you when you smile
Long jokes leading to fatigue and abandonment
We’ve been sitting in the shadows scraping blood from off our knees
Repetition of enduring hardships and collecting scars
Waiting for the sun to warm our bodies in the middle of the meadows
Continued anticipation of positive change
Like a swarm of hungry bees full of poisonous chemics and honey
Metaphorical depiction of a challenging situation with both danger and allure
