Opium Eyes
Ephemeral Flight and the Shadows Within: Opium Eyes Unveiled
Lyrics
Eventually he became part of the history of the world
Eventually, he became a part of the historical narrative of the world.
He started killing men and he ain't well
He began killing people, and his mental state is not stable.
Scattered their bones across the sky
He scattered the remains of his victims across the sky.
Came down from the city
He descended from the urban environment or society.
Caused a rumble when he did fly
His arrival caused a disturbance or commotion.
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
Describing physical features: "Ball-peen head and opium eyes."
He became watchful and so did I
He became vigilant or observant, and the narrator did the same.
He kept moving and so did I
He kept moving, and the narrator also continued moving.
And flew clear and so did I
He flew away smoothly, and the narrator followed suit.
The world moved and so did I, my wife and my children
The world changed, and the narrator adapted, considering his family.
How long the history of the world
Pondering the duration of the world's history.
He started killing men and he ain't well
