Some Velvet Morning
Unlocking the Enigma of 'Some Velvet Morning' by Le Cirque du Silence
Lyrics
Some velvet morning
Anticipation of a special moment ("velvet morning").
When I'm straight
Refers to sobriety or clarity of mind.
I'm gonna open up your gate
Expresses the intention to reveal something significant.
Some velvet morning
Repetition for emphasis on the anticipated moment.
When I'm straight
Reiteration of readiness for the special time.
I'm gonna open up your gate
Continued emphasis on the forthcoming revelation.
Flowers growing on a hill
Imagery of nature, possibly representing beauty and tranquility.
Dragonflies and daffodils
More nature imagery, suggesting a serene setting.
Learn from us very much
Suggests the speaker and someone else as a source of learning.
Look at us but do not touch
Cautionary advice to observe without physical interaction.
Phaedra is my name
Introduction of a character named Phaedra.
Some velvet morning
Recall of the earlier anticipation of the special moment.
When I'm straight
Reiteration of the desire to open up or reveal.
I'm gonna open up your gate
Re-emphasis on the forthcoming revelation.
Some velvet morning
Repetition to reinforce the anticipation.
When I'm straight
Confirmation of readiness for the special time.
I'm gonna open up your gate
Repeated expression of intent to open up or reveal.
Flowers are the things we grow
Nature-related imagery, possibly symbolizing growth and development.
Secrets are the things we know
Introduction of the concept of secrets.
Learn from us very much
Reiteration of the speaker and someone else as sources of learning.
Look at us but do not touch
Repeat caution against physical interaction.
