Big, Strange, Beautiful Hammer
Embracing Life's Impact: A Big, Strange, Beautiful Hammer
Lyrics
Discretion is a must, rising from the dust,
Emphasizing the importance of caution and rising from difficult situations.
On your feet but just a bit unsteady
Feeling somewhat unstable despite being on one's feet.
You want to close your eyes, be taken by surprise
Desire to experience something unexpected but only when fully prepared.
But not before you're absolutely ready
Wishing to avoid surprises until feeling completely ready.
So lay low, as time permits
Suggesting the need to remain cautious until the right moment arrives.
And you'll know it when it hits:
Implying the recognition of a significant event when it happens.
It's gonna sound like a big
Anticipation of a grand, impactful event.
It's coming down like a big
Expressing the imminent arrival of something massive.
It's gonna pound like a big, strange, beautiful
Describing the force and beauty of the impending event using a metaphor of a hammer.
Hammer
Reiteration of the impending force symbolized by a hammer.
You're feeling like a saint, powerful but faint
Feeling strong but somewhat weak or uncertain.
Like you want to call for an attendant
Considering seeking help despite feeling powerful.
Heavy in your hand, courage on demand
Having courage readily available.
You feel safe, and strangely independent
Feeling secure yet oddly self-sufficient.
Once baptized in pain and light
Suggesting a transformative experience through pain and illumination.
You'd be advised to hold on tight
Advising to hold onto one's convictions tightly.
When you collide with a big
Impending collision or encounter with something significant.
You coincide with a big
Signifying an alignment with a monumental force.
Filled inside with a big, strange, beautiful
Being filled internally with a powerful, unusual, and beautiful force.
Hammer
Reiterating the impending impact symbolized by a hammer.
It's coming down on you
Emphasizing the imminent impact of an event or force.
It's gonna drive you home
Indicating the force's influence leading one towards a destination or resolution.
Hammer, hammer,
Repetition of the symbolic hammer's impending arrival.
Big hammer, strange hammer
Describing the hammer as both significant and unusual.
Discretion is a waste, now you've had a taste
Rejecting caution after experiencing a taste of the unknown.
You see yourself as well-maintained and polished
Perceiving oneself as well-maintained and refined.
Existence is a test, we try to do our best
Life being a challenge where one strives to excel despite an inevitable end.
But we're on a quest to be demolished
Expressing a desire for self-destruction or transformation.
It's your right, so don't be shy
Asserting one's entitlement to embrace a powerful force.
Day and night you're smitten by
Continuously fascinated or captivated by this force.
The might of a big
Confrontation with a significant force.
The blinding light of a big
Encountering an intense, blinding force.
In the night of the big, strange,
In the darkness or uncertainty, encountering the significant and beautiful force.
Beautiful hammer
Reiteration of the impact of the symbolic hammer.
Hammer, hammer,
Repetition emphasizing the impending force of the hammer.
Big hammer, strange hammer
