Touching the Forelock
Unveiling Societal Divides: Touching the Forelock
Lyrics
The sea is wide the sea is deep
The vastness and depth of the sea are emphasized.
Just claim check height and still eclipse
Suggests reaching great heights but overshadowed by something even more significant.
There ain’t no mountain high enough
A play on the famous line, implying no obstacle is insurmountable.
To save up
A commentary on the limitations of wealth or power despite challenges.
But while this hall of pierce extreme
Building an extreme and intense environment.
We built up fleets of submarines
Metaphorical creation of powerful means, possibly suggesting hidden strength.
For VIP’s and Kings and Queens
Exclusive transportation for important figures.
Like wake to us
Recognition of societal awakening or realization.
The royal babies, cats and thief
Reference to privileged individuals, including infants, animals, and criminals.
Ten stone they call him thief
A mysterious reference to someone known as "thief."
I don’t care why I’m fuss to sleep
An indifference to the reasons for disturbance or unrest.
But dangerous
Acknowledgment of potential danger or risk.
Up hear the air it’s getting thin
Indication of a challenging and inhospitable environment.
But they live on thins of caviar
Contrast between scarcity in one area and abundance in another.
And we five piece they crave us
A paradoxical desire for a group of five individuals.
A silent goes for great divide
Recognition of a significant separation or gap.
The rich down here the rest of high
Social hierarchy and economic disparity are highlighted.
At least there’s no one left
Reflection on a perceived advantage of being isolated.
Here to enslave us
Suggestion of freedom from oppression in the absence of rulers.
A silent goes for great divide
Reiteration of a significant divide with potential emphasis on silence.
The rich down here the rest of high
Reinforcement of economic hierarchy and its impact.
At least there’s no one left
Reiteration of perceived advantages in the absence of dominators.
Here to enslave us
Continuation of the theme of liberation from enslavement.
