Apollyon of Blue Room
Apollyon's Lament: A Psychedelic Odyssey of Despair and Redemption
Lyrics
I'll jug with top globe and doomy locations
I'll engage in worldly pursuits and ominous places
And somebody's dope dealing brother
Refers to someone involved in drug dealing
The opium drone of a gaze
The hypnotic effect of a fixed gaze
[?] the crack plows the leaf of her learning summers
Unclear, possibly describing the impact of drugs on a person's growth
She'll probably keep low
The person will likely remain discreet or secretive
I know that she's only trying to star in a very human animal
Suggests someone trying to play a significant role in a human drama
The loom has gone lame, the patterns insane
Metaphor for a disrupted or dysfunctional situation, possibly mental
The edges have waved out
Patterns are chaotic or disturbed
The poses corrupt, the chortlers are blank, no function
Postures are corrupted, laughter is empty, and there is no purpose
Need seven of the Egean sleep
Reference to a sleep experiment involving deprivation
Deprivation experiment
Describing disoriented movement in a specific square in Monastiraki
Stumbling round Monastiraki square
Intended meaning is unclear
Crawling to her in my
Continuation is missing
Undress, my heart is a mess, the ruins depress
Symbolic description of emotional turmoil and decay
The shield of our withering tabs
Mentions a shield and the decay of something precious
The Tennessee tents, I sense that she's finally
Reference to a place (Tennessee tents) and sensing a change
Turn the lock, but I just want my Anatolian rock
Desire for personal music or solace in Anatolian rock
I've been through so many deserts I don't know
Experiencing confusion due to multiple identities or experiences
Which name to answer to
The impact of fatal experiences leading to madness
Fatality breeds madness, I trash the heights, the peek!
Expresses frustration or disappointment
Now I'm on my own, no violence on the telephone
Independence from violence but isolation
Your child of neglect, but you turned out ok
Describes someone neglected in childhood but turned out okay
Oh, no! Wear my psyche riot tear(?!), I was just as shocked
Refers to a psychic breakdown or emotional outburst
Your new lover like a hearse, a [?] of failure
New lover seen as a symbol of failure or disappointment
Oh, no, oh no
Repetition of the emotional shock
I record life - a sound, the milking of pipers
Recording life through sounds, possibly from mundane activities
Onto the parent dirt
Depicting life as originating from basic elements
Just [?] from the orchard, looking beneath the higher tears
Observing life from a perspective below higher aspirations
The Satans of vicious loyal society
Criticizing societal loyalty with a reference to negative figures
I can't get no rest, my dreams are corrosive
Struggling with restless dreams and corrosive thoughts
Nightmares are vampires too
Nightmares are draining and negative
My thoughts are archaic [?] I'm such a downer
Thoughts are outdated or old-fashioned, leading to negativity
Huh!
An expression of frustration or resignation
Now I'm on my own, no violence on the telephone
No violence but continued isolation
Your child of neglect, but you turned out ok
Reflection on being neglected in childhood
Oh, no! Wear my psyche riot tear(?!), I was just as shocked
Repetition of the emotional breakdown or shock
Your new lover like a hearse, a [?] of failure
New lover symbolizing failure or disappointment
Oh, no, oh no
Repetition of the emotional shock
