Prince of Mars
Lost in a Strange World: Prince of Mars Insights
Lyrics
Hide him away from the backhand of angry
Protecting him from physical harm or violence
He'll sit quietly as the fizzyness flows around
He remains calm amidst chaos or excitement
Never seen wars before, never been to a party
He's inexperienced in conflict or social gatherings
He says "they laugh like balloons, they dance like baboons
Observing others' behavior in a critical manner
They're so different when it's dark"
People behave differently in darkness
Hiding away as the noise gets louder
Withdrawing as the environment becomes noisier
Watching the people loose in the corridor
Observing intoxicated or disoriented individuals in a passage
Too many questions
Feeling overwhelmed by unanswered inquiries
He can't stay long, this is not his world
He doesn't belong in this setting and feels the need to leave
"Why are their lips even redder than
Questioning the vividness of others' lips
The bad one in Snow White
Referencing the intensity of red lips in Snow White
Why do they shout so, are they in pain
Confused by the loudness of others' voices
I don't understand
Expressing a lack of comprehension
Can't stay much longer, I must tame my fox
Needing to depart to attend to personal responsibilities or matters
So this is what goes on when you grow old."
Realizing the unfamiliar aspects of growing older
Hiding away in memory now sits my Prince laughing
Reflecting on the memory of the Prince who enjoyed laughter
He had to go, we all have to go, there's too much I didn't ask
Regret for not asking enough questions before the Prince's departure
Like "what happens when you know the answer
Curiosity about dealing with knowing the correct answer but being doubted
But they're so used to you being wrong?
Concern about being accustomed to being wrong despite being right
And why this cover when caught inside
Feeling trapped and uncomfortable in a situation
We're heavy hearted, too close to the knives
Being emotionally burdened and too close to danger
Our hearts are closing like hammer horror walls
Feeling isolated or trapped like in horror movie settings
Fingermarked skin, hurt to the bone
Physical pain or damage that's evident
We don't understand
Expressing a lack of understanding or confusion
Oh, my Prince, answer please
Seeking answers or guidance from the Prince
I'll get the pencils
Preparing to create or express oneself through drawing
We'll draw ourselves a new world."
Aiming to construct a different reality or escape from the current one
