The Rapture
Embracing Liberation: Motorpsycho's Ode to the Renewal of Seasons
Lyrics
days are getting longer and summertime is just a breath away
Anticipation of longer days and the imminent arrival of summertime.
the snow is finally letting go at last - it's just there sulking in the shade
Symbolic release as snow finally disappears, sulking in the shade.
I hear the first birds in the trees, they sing about their lust, their want and needs
Noticing the return of birds, singing about desire and basic needs.
and how wintertime is dying and now finally will fade
Acknowledgment of winter's end and the promise of its fading away.
into oblivion, where seasons past will always go to die.
Reflection on the inevitable cycle of seasons reaching oblivion.
they know their time is up, and shuffle off and wave bye-bye.
Personification of seasons aware of their end, bidding farewell.
there's logic here that none can deny
Asserting an undeniable logic in the cyclical nature of seasons.
the moment's almost here: when the madness grips the spheres
Anticipation of a moment when madness takes hold of the world.
and every single molecule takes off into the sky
Imagery of molecules taking off into the sky, possibly symbolizing change.
the sunlight turns the heat up another 5 degrees or so
Description of sunlight intensifying as summer approaches.
you feel the heat pervade your bones and warm your soul
Sensory experience of warmth penetrating bones and soul.
and put a spring into your step wherever you may go
Feeling rejuvenated and energetic as spring is embraced.
the day wakes up, the air keeps getting clearer
Describing the awakening of the day, with clearer air.
you skip between the puddles on your way
A carefree stroll, skipping between puddles on a beautiful day.
you hum a tune and make your way - it's a beautiful beautiful day
Expressing joy with humming a tune and embracing the beauty of the moment.
'cause soon it'll be over, soon we'll be free again
Awareness of the transient nature of the season, emphasizing freedom.
and all the kings pretty horses couldn't pull us back there again!
Rejecting the idea of returning to the past despite challenges.
I'll stand and I'll be counted, I'll stand up and I'll shout out loud
Commitment to stand up, be counted, and shout proudly.
and live it like I never did and hold my head up proud
Embracing life fully, without regrets, and holding one's head high.
days are getting longer, summer's almost here
Reiteration of days lengthening, signaling the imminent arrival of summer.
I thank my guardian angels we survived another year.
Gratitude for surviving another year, thanking guardian angels.
when summer rolls around again I'm gonna lay my head back in the grass
Anticipation of relaxing in the grass when summer returns.
and count my blessings one by one, and hope it won't be my last
Expressing gratitude and hope while counting blessings in the upcoming summer.
