Lyrics
Now every time I close my eyes
Reflecting on past experiences or memories, possibly with a sense of introspection.
To this ghostly enterprise
Describing a mysterious or eerie endeavor or undertaking.
Harken back to that cult of death
Recalling a group or culture associated with death and perhaps dark practices.
Recalling the first word ever said
Remembering the origin of communication, possibly hinting at the significance of the first spoken word.
In that word there sat a seed
Suggesting potential beginnings or origins, using a seed as a metaphor for creation.
From a seed sprung a machine
Describing the growth or evolution of something from a small starting point.
From a machine a muttered speech
Referring to the development of language or communication, starting from a machine-like sound.
But the form exceeds what it means
Highlighting a discrepancy between the form or appearance and the actual meaning or significance.
I ran around those ancient highways
Revisiting locations with historical significance, possibly suggesting a journey through time.
I went down to that time of lore
Returning to a time characterized by traditions, legends, or stories of the past.
I swam on out in that brackish water
Engaging in an immersive experience, possibly surrounded by a mixture of elements from the past.
Mosaic of all come before
Describing a combination or mosaic of various influences from preceding times.
Dip me under different water
Expressing a desire for a transformative experience or immersion in a different environment.
Wrap me up and take me home
Seeking comfort or solace and a return to a familiar place or state.
Filled with hope wrapped in useless armor
Feeling optimistic but acknowledging the futility of protective measures.
You're my friend now find my foe
Addressing a relationship where a friend is asked to identify or confront an adversary.
I ran around those ancient highways
Repeating the theme of revisiting ancient paths, possibly emphasizing the cyclical nature of experiences.
And I went down to those roots of lore
Returning to the origins or fundamental aspects of traditions or stories.
A river came and knocked me sideways
Encountering a disruptive force that alters one's course or perspective.
An ancient tree becomes a boat
Transforming something old or ancient into a vessel for new experiences or journeys.
