'The Dust the seed' referes to sperm. And fire is sex. He uses symbolism from Dylan Thomas and uses the same words in 'Let's go to bed' with 'it used to be the dust that would lay here when I came here alone' He is finding refuge in sex with a woman that he finds heaven-like. He finds rebirth in his encounters with this woman and through their 'solid dance', as he can alweays count on her for a booty call. Yet, she want's to get to know him more and more during their post sex pillow chat, where she 'crack the stone invade my head dropping honey dropping dead again' but he is not looking for a relationship as he gives her no insight to his inner person and 'the silence shouts across the gap' Still he feels renewed with her 'a new day' |

| The Cure – A Strange Day Lyrics | 18 years ago |

In my opnion, Pornography is the best of all the cure albums. It's tone and style was Robert Smith's tibutte to the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas. THE SONG IS ABOUT SUICIDE, AND SUICIDE AT THE BEACH, AND HE IS SUCCESSFUL ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. 'GIve me your eyes that I might see the blind man kissing my hand' refers to his dispair being to deep, he cannot see the blessings he has. The reference to a blind and paralyzed man kissing his hands and he needs help seeing it, menas he is asking for someone to show him what is good and worth living for. He then, blind with dispair, he walks into the ocean, 'as the sand and the sea grows' and this is the second time he has tried this 'and we're here again.....'. 'Head falls back adn the walls crash down..... an impression of sound and then everything is gone forever' HE IS DEAD. Chilling especailly if you here the guitar buld up on the last verse. It really projects the horros of suicide. As usual, great lyrics by Robert Smith. |
