| Wild Beasts – Albatross Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
albatross' is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse. It is an allusion to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798). In the poem, an albatross starts to follow a ship – being followed by an albatross was generally considered an omen of good luck. However, the titular mariner shoots the albatross with a crossbow, which is regarded as an act that will curse the ship (which indeed suffers terrible mishaps). To punish him, his companions induce him to wear the dead albatross around his neck indefinitely (until they all die from the curse, as it happens). Thus the albatross can be both an omen of good or bad luck, as well as a metaphor for a burden to be carried (as penance). The symbolism used in the Coleridge poem is its highlight. For example: Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks Had I from old and young ! Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. |

I have loved this song for 5 years but now my friend is moving to Manchester for University it bought me to tears because i relate the lyrics to her moving away, truly amazing song though Why'd you feel so underrated? Why'd you feel so negated? Turning away from the light Becoming adult Turning into my soul That just reminds me of her leaving :( |
