Montreal River
Montreal River: Embracing Decay, Soaring with Eagles
Lyrics
From the Montreal River where the grey beast waits
Reference to the Montreal River as a place where something ominous or mysterious awaits.
To embrace in its mouth our decay and I know
Acknowledging the inevitability of decay and the acceptance of it, possibly symbolized by the grey beast.
In this place there is nothing we can do or say
Expressing a sense of powerlessness in the given situation, where actions or words seem futile.
That would make as much sense as a harbour of snow
Comparing the senselessness of the situation to a harbor filled with snow, emphasizing its impracticality.
And the eagle thrives here they say
Noting the presence of an eagle in this place, potentially symbolizing strength or resilience.
And the crow brings night across the bay
Highlighting the role of the crow in bringing night, suggesting a darker aspect or inevitability.
We will all fall here one day
Anticipating a collective downfall or challenge that everyone will face at some point.
So we fly anyway
Choosing to persevere and fly despite the challenges and uncertainties.
I know it's you and I know I knew
Acknowledging a recognition of someone or something specific in the context.
I can see from the water where the rocks lay years
Observing the landscape from the water and noting the enduring nature of rocks over time.
Layered sand layered time coloured cakes in a cliff
Describing layered sand and time, possibly representing the complexities and histories in life.
You in the agate your reflection shines
Noticing a reflection in agate, implying a moment of self-discovery or realization.
Pour open more rub me hard make us smooth
Suggesting a desire for deeper connection or intimacy, using tactile imagery.
In my wrinkles you will find all things
Implying that all aspects of the person are revealed in their wrinkles, symbolizing experience.
And the tree makes time a ring
Symbolizing the tree as a representation of time and the cyclical nature of life.
Tell me without saying
Prompting a request for understanding without explicit verbal communication.
And we'll fly anyway
Reiterating the choice to fly despite uncertainties, echoing earlier sentiments.
I know it's you and I know I knew
Reaffirming recognition of someone or something, emphasizing prior knowledge.
I know
Expressing a certainty or assurance in recognizing a particular entity or feeling.
It's you and I know I'm home
Affirming a sense of belonging or homecoming related to the recognized entity.
