| The Meg And Dia Band – Courage, Robert Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
He saw a lonely girl. She saw a lonely world. It was a canvas, slyly careless. A florestan lieder. *Robert Schumann was intensely concentrated on his work as a pianist and composer at an early age. He became engaged to Ernestine Von Fricken, but it was his mistress Clara, that became his inspiration for his songs. He saw a lonely girl, she saw a lonely world. Both Robert and Clara were musicians. However they became "slyly careless" when Robert and Clara were discovered kissing. A Florestan lieder refers to one of Robert's imaginary characters that he uses in one of his literary criticisms. Florestan parallels Robert's passion character. And his was a dying breed. Courage came only from his symphonies. A decorative smile to fade out. His concerto in A *And his was a dying breed, pianists and composers were not recognized and given merit in the 1800's. Naturally, his courage came from his symphonies. At one point he wrote 168 songs within a year, all which pertained to his emotions to Clara. His courage was also drawn from his composing,since Robert's right hand was permanentely injured. Some say it was due to the medication he took for syphillis, or the operation he performed on himself. Come on. A second chance at love. The moments dead. Make you feel like it's never staying. *Robert put his engagement to Ernestine on hault, and decided to marry Clara. A second chance at love, since Clara at first had to dettatch herself from Schumann, since her father found out about them. Made love to a baby grand. A tempest refined inside his hands. He had one girl, and one song. Bone fide wine and roulade. *Robert was intensley and whole-heartedly in love with his music. A tempest, of course refers to a storm. He was so passionate he was seen as making love to a baby grand. A refined tempest, a refined storm. His one girl was Clara, his wife. But he had to give it up. His heart was raw. But his fingers numb. His first words were his last words. An aesthete since first sun. *an aesthete since first sun, Schumann's music was highly viewed as with the nature of Rommanticism. An aesthete of course, sees beauty in art. And Romanticism was a revolt against the Englightenment period. Romanticism and the aesthetic movement each stressed nature and emotion. Come on. A second chance at love. The moments slept. Make you feel like it's never staying. It burned. The first attempt or two. But I remembered you. I need that moment back. Please don't, don't don't. A tremor for death. Ivories that sliced sedatives in half. Releif in the Rhine. Washed away regrets. And let him char before he carressed the ground. * Many think that Robert began to go crazy within his last years of life. Relief in the Rhine refers to the fact that Robert tried to kill himself by throwing himself into the Rhine. He was helped by a woman, but was quickly admitted into a mental institute. He was believed to have suffered of mercury poisining, from his syphillis medication (sliced sedatives). Dear artist you will rise again. A last arabesque in faint fashion. * an arabesque is a pose in ballet, where the dancer is standing on one tip-toe. A last stance, as one would say, in faint fashion being Robert's style of music. Come on. A second change at love. The moments dead. Make you feel like it's never ending. It burned. The first attempt or two. But I remembered you. I need that moment back. Please don't forget. *After Schumann's death his wife continually visited his works and interepreted and edited many of his songs. He woke. A final view of blue. Dear cordias. Wet rouge. Relieve romance to graves. Please, please don't forget |

| The Meg And Dia Band – Joey Had a Smoke Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"They sat through the night In an empty apartment Three older gentlemen came inside And they brought wine cards and chocolates Joey smoked on a cigar and came back in So you think he's something special do you, men?" The three older men are the three wise men, and the wine cards and chocolates are the gifts the ybrough Mary and Joseph when Jesus was born. By asking if he's something special, Joseph means that what importance does he have to you? "He stared through hard, cold insolent eyes Turned his gaze with her Fear hidden quite secure under blank features Protruding middle she sat unashamed She read his judgement on his concerned face With slight sarcasm he addressed her case Is it too much to ask to know about your lover's name?" Joseph doesn't believe that Mary simply got pregnent. But Mary is fully confident in her self. "He is no one He is a stranger I met on the street He never touched me. You're all I need. And will ever need." Is Mary's plea to joseph. When she says he, she is refering to god. So she is saying he isn't real, simply a spirit but you are the one I love. "But his eyes won't be almond like yours nor blue like mine With all the sins of the world in the Iris There's no false blood. But you will love him He's from Gold Gardens. Our help before Atlas was ever born." Though he won't be look like neither one of us, and people will blame me for having him without being married, you will love him. By saying but there's no false blood it means that he is ours, even if you had no part of it. I don't know what gold gardens mean. The line Our help before Atlas was ever born.. Atlas was the god of sin and burden so, our son will carry our burdens and be our joy. |
