Bathtubs
Bathtubs and Pulsing Dreams: Royal Canoe's Sonic Celebration
Lyrics
Hot little rhymes shot off the wall
Expressing quick and impactful verses on the wall.
Spitting on the ground, hoping for more than just a vibration
Expecting more than just a surface-level response, seeking depth and connection.
We've had our time, we've seen it all
Claiming to have experienced everything, yet acknowledging there's still room for celebration.
That's all just a lie 'cause there's still a degree of celebration
Highlighting the contradiction of claiming to have seen it all but still finding reasons for celebration.
Flavor of the mind flow sweetly but sour
Describing thoughts as having both sweet and sour aspects.
Softened by the touch of the fingers that rub up-up-up-upon it
Sensual description of the mind being softened by physical touch.
And all that remains is the feeling in your chest
Emphasizing that only the emotional residue remains.
Like a phantom in the room and you can't get a grip unless you grab it
Comparing a lingering feeling to a phantom in the room that can only be grasped by confronting it.
The bathtubs in the hallway are here to stay
Repeating the presence of bathtubs in the hallway, signifying a persistent obstacle or memory.
The bathtubs in the hallway are here to stay
-One for every bedroom where the tenants used to bathe
-The bathtubs in the hallway are in the way
-I dreamt
Repeatedly dreaming of giving in to the pulse, suggesting surrender to a rhythmic or emotional force.
I dreamt we
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-My pulse, your pulse, pulse, pulse
-I dreamt
-I dreamt we
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-My pulse, your pulse, pulse, pulse
-I dreamt
Continuation of the dream theme, emphasizing the connection through pulses.
I dreamt we
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-My pulse, your pulse, pulse, pulse
-I dreamt
-I dreamt we
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-I dreamt we gave into the pulse
-Your pulse, my pulse, pulse, pulse
-(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
Repeating a rhythmic refrain, possibly echoing the pulse mentioned in the dream.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
-The bathtubs in the hallway are here to stay
Reiteration of the presence and persistence of bathtubs, now described as both in the way and here to stay.
The bathtubs in the hallway are here to stay
-Are in the way
-Are here to stay
-A dusty organ keeps them company
Introducing a dusty organ associated with the bathtubs, featuring missing keys.
A dusty organ keeps them company
-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven missing keys
-Our dusty organs keep us company
Stating that dusty organs, possibly metaphorical, keep individuals company.
Holed up with the rookies who turn it up

Hallelujah, it's gonna get much brighter (ooh, ooh)
