| Ludo – Lake Pontchartrain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Okay, so. Here're my thoughts. The line, "Everything water can be," seems far too sinister for the alleged/implied deaths of Darius and "Noland" (I personally think it's Nolan) to be blamed all on the crawfish. What I think is that the promise of "Crawfish til the bitter end" is just a sinister reinforcement of the lake, trying to lure people there? Crawfish DO seem rather popular in Louisiana. So, the lake has some things to help lure people into it. The illusion of someone in the water, to lure good samaritans that want to help the person into the lake, the crawfish to lure anyone who just enjoys crawfish into the lake, etc. And the voices urging the people to "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain." So, I don't think the crawfish had as much to do with it as everyone is saying. I think the crawfish were just a pawn and that it was indeed the lake that "killed" Darius and Nolan. The lake is some sort of paranormal phenomena in this story, and it literally swallowed Darius and Nolan in the shallows. (Hence the lyrics, "Wade to where the shallows break/There you will get to see/Everything water can be.") Woooh, that was longwinded. Sorry. I love this song VERY much. Ludo is rad, fer sure. |
