Lyrics
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
I contemplate if the rope I left is still hanging from the tree.
By the standing pool where you drank me
Refers to a standing pool where a significant experience occurred.
And filled me full of thirsty love
Reflects on being filled with a deep, longing love during that encounter.
And the memory of water?
Ponders the enduring impact and recollection of that experience, symbolized by water.
I wonder if a king still fishes there
Questions if someone still engages in familiar activities at that location.
His back towards the burned-out air
Describes a desolate atmosphere with a possible reference to a past catastrophe.
His laughing catches singing loud
Depicts a person enjoying simple pleasures despite the harsh surroundings.
The memory of water
Associates joyous moments with the enduring recollection of water.
Your taste is blood and ecstasy
Characterizes a profound connection marked by intense sensations.
But I must drink you all alone
Expresses the necessity of experiencing this connection privately.
You're freckled like a speckled egg
Compares the loved one to a unique and delicate entity, a speckled egg.
A dove, but this bird has flown
Acknowledges a departure or transformation, using the metaphor of a bird leaving.
O stay with me sweet memory
Pleads for the enduring presence of the cherished memory.
O stay with me
Reiterates the plea for the memory to remain with the speaker.
I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
Revisits the thought of the lingering rope and its symbolic connection to the past.
By the standing pool where you drank me
Recalls the standing pool and the shared experience of being consumed.
As pain flows through me like champagne
Describes the sensation of pain coursing through the speaker, akin to champagne flowing.
Of the memory of water
Associates the pain with the enduring memory of water, completing the contemplation.
