Flies
Ephemeral Dance of Flies: Unraveling the Poetic Tapestry
Lyrics
These flies
Introduction to the presence of flies, suggesting an unwanted element or disturbance.
Are swirling in the centre of my eyes
Describing the flies in the eyes, possibly alluding to a pervasive, bothersome issue.
And my room for more days than they're supposed to be alive
Noting the prolonged existence of the flies, hinting at an enduring problem.
Like the drain, I washed my sandy feet off in that summer night
Recalling a moment of cleansing, possibly symbolic, with sandy feet washed in a summer night.
It goes round and round and round that pipe, just waiting for the light
Depicting a circular motion in a drain, waiting for light, symbolizing a repetitive cycle.
As we fight
Suggesting internal or external conflicts with the mention of fighting.
Sleep, the seagulls mock us from outside
Highlighting the mocking nature of seagulls during moments of vulnerability like sleep.
We both know if we let go, that this memory still might
Expressing the hesitation to let go of a memory that might persist.
Slip into the drain. Just hold me closer baby one last time
Seeking emotional closeness one last time before a potential loss or separation.
As we go round and round and round, that pipe just waiting for the light
Reiterating the circular motion in the drain, waiting for light, emphasizing the persistent cycle.
We go round and round and round
Repeating the theme of going around in circles in the drain, waiting for the metaphorical light.
We go round and round and round
-We go round and round and round
-that pipe just waiting for the light
-Rice crispies are the cooking heroin of life
Introducing a metaphor comparing rice crispies to a potentially addictive or destructive element.
Are you just adding your compulsions up with me or mine
Pondering the combination of personal compulsions in a relationship.
As I lose myself into the drain, I say that I am fine
Claiming well-being while losing oneself into the drain, suggesting a facade of normalcy.
But I go round and round and round
Continuing the theme of repetitive circular motion in the drain, waiting for light.
I go round and round and round
-I go round and round and round
-that pipe just waiting for the light
-I go round and round and round
Repeating the pattern, emphasizing the persistent nature of the cycle.
I go round and round and round
-I go round and round and round
-that pipe just waiting for the light
-I go round and round and round
Emphasizing the circular motion and waiting for light in the drain as a recurring theme.
I go round and round and round
-I go round and round and round
-that pipe just waiting for the light
-I go round and round and round
Reiterating the notion of going round and round in the drain, awaiting illumination.
I go round and round and round
-I go round and round and round
-that pipe just waiting for the light
-Circling like a fly
Comparing the circling behavior to that of a fly, possibly suggesting aimless searching.
Searching for the light
Continuing the search for light, implying a quest for resolution or clarity.
We go round and round and round
Concluding with a repetition of the circular motion, emphasizing the persistent waiting for light.
