Harry Dean Stanton
Echoes of a Silent World: Unraveling the Depths of Pop Will Eat Itself's 'Harry Dean Stanton'
Lyrics
In 1991 got glassed
In 1991, I experienced a violent incident involving glass.
Cousin got murdered, friend got attacked
During that year, my cousin was murdered, and a friend was attacked.
House next door to ours got ransacked again
Our neighbor's house, next to ours, was burglarized once again.
But seeing is believing, hearing is receiving
I believe in what I witness, and I receive information through my senses.
Deaf and blind world, I don't believe in
I reject the notion of a world that is both deaf and blind.
Blinded by light, flattened by sound
Metaphorically blinded by light and overwhelmed by sound.
Over and out-underground
Expressing a sense of being subterranean or countercultural.
Down here, talk to us, we'll here, the future is here
Encouraging communication in this underground community.
Walk with us from here
Join us in our perspective; the future is now.
In 1993, I will be three O years inside this body
In 1993, I will have lived for three decades in this physical form.
I don't know what's going on outside me
Unaware of external events; disconnected from the world outside me.
But seeing is believing, hearing is receiving
Believing in what I see and receiving information through my senses.
A deaf and blind world, I don't believe in
Rejecting the idea of a world without sensory perception.
Blinded by light, flattened by sound
Metaphorically blinded by light and overwhelmed by sound, repeating the earlier sentiment.
Over and out-underground
Reiterating a sense of being subterranean or countercultural.
Down here, talk to us
Inviting communication in this underground context.
We'll hear, the future will heal
Assuring that we will listen, and the future holds healing.
Walk with us from here
Encouraging others to join in and walk together from this point forward.
