Panic! at the Disco – Behind the Sea Lyrics 17 years ago
A daydream spills from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left a nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candle swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds
------------------------------------
This part of the song is talking about a message is a bottle floating across the water with a dream inside the message escapes and spreads across the pond, this talks about how somthing can spread so quick.
-----------------------------------------------------
The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we’re all too small to talk to god
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god
----------------------------------------------
this is talking about soldiers fighting over in iraq and how there each clocks which means one day they will stop ticking, which means that they could die, and were to small to talk to god, along with to smart to talk to god, is a sarcastic wordplay meaning we dont make time to talk to god.
---------------------------------------------------------
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
to us from the dock
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
through tiny cracks in the boardwalk
Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch
sprouting suns and ageless daughters
--------------------------------------------
this represents how the men who send us to fight for the war are eating with silver crumbs or there rich while we fight there war, and now there haching are suns and daughters, and trying to scare us into beliving we need to fight(hence the scarecrow)
---------------------------------------------------------
Go on, you know
Don't you know

That those watermelon smiles just can’t ripen underwater
Just can’t ripen underwater
------------------------------------------------------
awatermelon smile refers to a slice of a watermelon, ( a (half circle) shaped smile on your mouth
------------------------------------------------------
The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we’re all too small to talk to god
Yeah, we’re all too smart to talk to god
oh, we’re all too smart to talk to god

Ooooh

Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs
Waves of wooden legs
-----------------------------------------------------
this is for all the lives of the soldiers lost, all of there legs represent there lives
Oooooh

So close, so close
