Round, The World Keeps Spinning Round
Echoes of Existence: Mulberry & Grand's Poetic Reflection on the Spirals of Life
Lyrics
Long ago
Reflecting on a distant past
The Brontosaur
Symbolic reference to a dinosaur
Consumed its last meal
Describing the final meal of the Brontosaurus
Then lay upon the mantle floor
After consuming its last meal, lying on the mantle floor
And on their bones, we hurl thru space
Humanity's journey through space on the bones of dinosaurs
Propelled against the laws that rule the human race
Defying the laws governing the human race
Round
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of existence
The world keeps spinning round
Reiterating the ongoing rotation of the Earth
Round
Continuation of the Earth's perpetual motion
The world keeps spinning round and round and round
Highlighting the repetitive nature of life's cycles
Not long from now
Shifting focus to the near future
The sun will shine
Anticipating the sun shining on blooming daisies
On daisies in full bloom
Natural beauty without human intervention
Without the help of mankind
Stressing the independence of nature from mankind
Round
Reiteration of the Earth's ongoing rotation
The world keeps spinning round
Continued emphasis on the Earth's perpetual motion
Round
Repeating the idea of the world's constant spinning
The world keeps spinning round and round and round and round and
Emphasizing the cyclical and repetitive nature extensively
Oh what a piece of work
Reflection on the complexity and nature of humanity
oh what a piece of work
-oh what a piece of work
-is Man
Quoting Shakespeare's "What a piece of work is man"
What dare we do?
Raising questions about human actions and choices
Why dare we now?
Challenging the reasons behind daring actions
When we can’t get it together anyway anyhow?
Expressing frustration about the difficulty of unity
Round
Reaffirming the Earth's continuous rotation
The world keeps spinning round
Highlighting the ongoing spinning of the world
Round
Repetition of the Earth's perpetual motion
The world keeps spinning round and round and round and round and
Emphasizing the cyclical and repetitive nature extensively
Round
Continued emphasis on the Earth's perpetual motion
The world keeps spinning round
Reiterating the constant rotation of the Earth
Round
Final repetition of the idea of the world's continuous spinning
