Story of Charon
Charon's Cryptic Journey: Silver, Gold, and Forbidden Medicine
Lyrics
Charon's rockin Chanel
Charon is adorned in Chanel, symbolizing a blend of luxury and death.
With the obul from a good farewell, good farewell
The payment for crossing into the afterlife, implying a farewell with valuable offerings.
Coins silver and gold, nobody can hold, nobody can hold
Coins, both silver and gold, cannot be retained by anyone, highlighting their transient nature.
Masterpieces cost a fortune, forbidden medicine, forbidden medicine
Extraordinary works of art are expensive and might symbolize unconventional, costly treatments.
In the pyramids the Pharaoh's sword's unsheathed, that's a warning to heed
A warning about the potential consequences of disturbing the sanctity of the Pharaoh's tomb.
You don't wanna know what I do when you're not around
Secretive actions taking place when someone is absent, suggesting a hidden side of the speaker.
Don't make a sound
An admonition to remain silent, hinting at the secrecy of the speaker's actions.
Cause babe I'll be six feet underground
A reference to the possibility of death, buried six feet underground if discovered.
If I'm not found doing my rounds all over town
The speaker's activities roaming around town, possibly engaged in clandestine actions.
Promiscuous pleasantries latched on to me, got nowhere to flee
Encounters with various fleeting pleasures, feeling trapped without an escape.
Hold me captive in your release, a little morphine, a little more please
Feeling imprisoned yet seeking temporary relief, metaphorically comparing it to morphine.
Romantically deprived, I rolled the dice, I got lucky tonight
Desperation for romantic connection leading to taking chances, luck favoring the speaker.
When I look in your eyes it says one thing, we're flying tonight
Sensing a shared desire or anticipation in the eyes, suggesting a thrilling experience.
You don't wanna know what I do when you're not around
Reiteration of secretive actions during the absence of someone else.
Don't make a sound
A repetition emphasizing the need for silence regarding the speaker's undisclosed activities.
Cause babe I'll be six feet underground
A reminder of potential consequences, indicating the possibility of death or disappearance.
If I'm not found doing my rounds all over town
The speaker's continued movements around town, possibly engaged in secretive endeavors.
