The Porpoise Song
Echoes of Existential Yearning: The Porpoise's Melancholy Laugh
Lyrics
My, my, the clock in the sky is pounding away
The clock in the sky is ticking relentlessly.
And there's so much to say,
There is a lot to express or communicate.
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice,
An altered recording lacks the freedom to choose.
An image cannot rejoice.
An artificial representation cannot experience joy.
Wanting to be,
Desire to exist.
To hear and to see,
Yearning to perceive through hearing and sight.
Crying to the sky.
Expressing sorrow to the heavens.
But the porpoise is laughing, goodbye, goodbye,
The porpoise (possibly symbolizing a carefree spirit) is amused, bidding farewell.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Repeating the farewell sentiment.
Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes for laughs
Sound effects, exploiting giraffes for amusement.
S'alright for a while,
Acceptable for a limited time.
The ego sings of castles and kings and things that go
The self-centered aspect of a person dreams of grandeur and opulence.
With a life of style.
Desirable elements accompanying a stylish life.
Wanting to feel,
Desire to experience genuine emotions.
To know what is real,
Seeking understanding of reality.
Living is a, is a lie,
Stating that living is inherently deceptive.
The porpoise is waiting, goodbye, goodbye,
The porpoise is patient, saying goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Reiterating the farewell.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Continuing the repetition of farewell.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Concluding with a final farewell.
