| Archers of Loaf – Chumming the Oceans Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Ok... Perhaps I'm simply [perverted]. But this song was about sex the minute i heard it! Well, very uncoordinated "can't get it up" sex. "South of the river's mouth, migration slopes slowly towards mainland" that's the advancing... The "salt air" possibly referring to the not-so-great smell... filling the gills of the "dead bait" in hand. Quite obviously, a flaccid guy. The deep in riot, referring to the "wanting it" mindset, but the coastline is quiet (no action going on, due to the awkward situation) and everything is asleep and "divided" in bands - waiting for something to happen. The chumming, possibly referring to "chum" as a sort of friendly intimacy (much like a random drunk encounter) as opposed to spreading bait around. Signals sent out... and a response recieved. Even something as simple as "you ready? yeah" but here's where the sexual metaphor gets strange... the water being red. Let's hope not! Driftwood, dead weight, all referring further towards the flaccid guy. The next verse is where he seems to be regaining some composure, with him finally staying in place, with a "full tank", his flag's at least raised up a little, he's ready to shoot, a "mask" is on and he's down and ready to go. |
