Soldiers Rock
Bicycle Revelations: Unveiling the Heart's Greed in Soldiers Rock
Lyrics
Out on a bicycle a reflection left behind
Reflecting on a past experience while riding a bicycle.
The desires of your daughters they will never be defined
The unpredictable nature of desires, particularly those of daughters.
Wild pedal wild energized by the stolen vodka and triple-sec
Intense energy fueled by stolen alcohol.
Wheels spurting up the flecks of mud on your blue jeans and your turtleneck
Physical activity causing mud splatters on clothing.
I'm out on a bicycle feeling God is on my side
A feeling of divine support while cycling.
My mother didn't believe in discipline or the unconscious mind
Parental beliefs regarding discipline and the unconscious mind.
Ooh when you finally realize our love is found
A realization that love exists between waking and dreaming.
Between the waking and the dreaming
Highlighting the transitional state between wakefulness and dreams.
Ooh we fight one another in the afternoon
Conflict occurring in the afternoon.
We bathe we bathe each other in the evening
Symbolic bathing, possibly representing reconciliation in the evening.
Pick up pickup your tiny arm
Encouragement to take action with a small arm, possibly a metaphorical suggestion.
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother
Symbolic act of embracing or seeking comfort from one's mother.
Pick up pickup your tiny arm
Repetition of the previous line for emphasis.
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother
Repetition, reinforcing the theme of seeking comfort from one's mother.
Somewhere between the road and the ever darkening sky
Describing a location between the road and a darkening sky.
Ooh the greediness of our hearts will not be satisfied
Unfulfilled desires and the insatiable nature of hearts.
As it is said by the occupants
Reference to statements made by certain individuals.
Who rally round the outer steps of parliament
People gathering around a parliamentary building, possibly for a cause.
So it is said confidentially
Confidential statements made by government workers.
By the men and women working in the government
Insights from individuals employed in government positions.
Pick up pick up the bayonet
Encouragement to take up a bayonet and use it on one's brother, possibly a metaphorical expression of conflict.
And run it through run it through the stomach of your brother
Continuation of the previous line, suggesting a violent action against a sibling.
Pick up pick up the bayonet
Repetition of the call to use a bayonet on one's brother.
And run it through run it through the stomach of your brother
Reiteration of the violent act against a sibling.
Pick up pick up your bloody arm
Encouragement to embrace a bloody arm, possibly symbolizing the aftermath of conflict.
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover
Symbolic act of embracing a lover with a bloody arm, possibly representing reconciliation after conflict.
Pick up pick up your bloody arm
Repetition of the previous line, emphasizing the act of embracing a lover with a bloody arm.
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover
