The Raging Muse
Embracing the Muse Within
Lyrics
The raging muse got me locked up inside
The intense inspiration or creative force has confined me within.
The raging muse so owns me
The powerful source of inspiration completely possesses and controls me.
The raging muse with her head open wide
The compelling inspiration, represented as a muse, reveals herself openly.
My heavenly bride
Refers to the muse as a heavenly bride, suggesting a divine and profound connection.
I look at my feet
Contemplating one's own position or state.
And there's fish in the grass
Observing something unusual or surreal, like fish in the grass.
The grass is so green and the fish are alive
Describing the vivid and lively surroundings; the grass and fish symbolize life.
It's getting to lunchtime
Time reference indicating approaching midday.
And the fish are all shimmering
The fish shimmering in the grass become more noticeable.
They curl like numbers
Imagery of fish curling like numbers in the vibrant green grass.
In the bright green blades
The visual representation of the fish in the grass as blades of grass.
Those fishes are feelings
The fishes symbolize emotions or feelings.
Yeah, those fishes are thoughts
Expanding the metaphor, fishes are also thoughts in the mind.
And they never get caught
Suggesting that these thoughts and feelings are elusive and cannot be easily captured or understood.
I look into my depths
Looking inward into one's own depths or thoughts.
And there's fish in the grass
Reiteration of the imagery of fish in the grass, suggesting a recurring theme or thought.
Under the glass those fishes with pass
The fishes under the glass imply a barrier or separation from the observer.
This way and that the cod and the sprat
Describing the movement of fishes, possibly representing the fluid nature of thoughts and emotions.
Constellation of the fishes
The arrangement of fishes as a constellation may symbolize order or meaning within chaos.
I look in your eyes
Shifting the perspective to another person's eyes and their thoughts or feelings.
And there's fish in the glass
Similar to line 18, suggesting a shared experience or understanding.
Swimming in bowls of perfect red eyes
Describing fish swimming in the context of someone else's perspective or emotions.
It's getting to teatime
Time reference indicating approaching evening.
And the fish are all hungry
The fish are hungry, potentially representing unfulfilled desires or needs.
And the fish are all shuddering
The fish shuddering may indicate a sense of unease or disturbance.
Ready to slither back into the pond
Preparing to return to a more primitive state, shedding complexity.
To ungrow their legs
Describing the regression of the fish, losing their evolved features.
And writhe on their fins
Depicting the fish writhing on their fins, emphasizing a primal nature.
Like their ancestors did
Referencing the ancestral origins of the fish, connecting to evolution.
Those fish in the grass how slowly they pass
The slow passage of thoughts and emotions, emphasizing patience and observation.
For your own sake never step on them
A warning not to disturb or interfere with these delicate thoughts and emotions.
The raging muse got me locked up inside
Repetition of the opening lines, reinforcing the impact of the muse.
The raging muse so owns me
Reiteration of being completely under the influence and control of the muse.
The raging muse with her head open wide
Repeating the image of the muse, now described with an open head, possibly suggesting transparency or revelation.
My heavenly bride
Restating the connection to the muse as something divine and heavenly.
