Xerces Blue
Xerces Blue: A Poetic Flight Through Life's Fragility
Lyrics
Give me a reason not to follow Xerces Blue
Seeking justification for not pursuing the path of Xerces Blue.
Give me a reason to come home to you
Requesting a compelling reason to return home.
Lavender blue and white
Describing colors, possibly symbolizing emotions or states of being.
Gossamer wings take flight
Imagery of delicate, light wings taking flight.
You put up a sacred fight
Acknowledging a resilient and sacred resistance.
Breathing, flying, into the western wind
Engaging with life's challenges, heading into uncertainty.
Falling, never to rise again
Expressing a sense of irreversible descent or failure.
Living, dying this is the human way
Contemplating the dual nature of human existence, encompassing life and death.
Which one will it be today
Pondering the unpredictable choice between life and death.
You had nowhere to land
Highlighting a lack of stable ground or support.
No purchase upon the sand
Emphasizing the absence of a secure foothold.
The triumph of modern man I guess
Reflecting on the perceived triumphs of modern civilization.
With delicate wings I fly; into the foggy sky
Embarking on a journey with delicate wings, possibly representing vulnerability.
Will I be left to die, alone
Expressing concern about being abandoned or left to face challenges alone.
Like Xerces Blue
Drawing parallels with the fate of Xerces Blue, possibly a symbol of fragility.
Your papery lifeless form; in ether and chloroform
Depicting a lifeless form preserved in a specific environment.
Pinned to a wooden board for all to see
Describing a public display, potentially commenting on societal values.
Darwinian crucifix; you were no match for politics
Suggesting a conflict between natural selection and political forces.
Still as a a flameless wick, so well preserved
Portraying stillness and preservation in the face of challenges.
Breathing, flying, into the western wind
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges while moving towards uncertainty.
Falling, never to rise again
Echoing the idea of irreversible descent and potential failure.
Living, dying this is the human way
Contemplating the human experience, encompassing life and death.
Which one will it be today
Revisiting the uncertainty of choosing between life and death.
Give me a reason not to follow Xerces Blue
Repeating the desire for a reason to deviate from the path of Xerces Blue.
Give me a reason to come home to you
Reiterating the request for a compelling reason to return home.
