| Noah and the Whale – Jocasta Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's most certainly about the myth about Oedipus. "When the babies born Oh, let's turn it to the snow So that ice will surely grow Over weak and brittle bones Oh, let's leave it to the wolves So their teeth turn it to food Oh, its flesh keeps them alive Oh, its death helps life survive Oh, the world can be kind in its own way" when Laius and Jocasta heard the prophecy about their son, they sent him to be killed in the snow. then it speaks of the inevitability of the prophecy and how there was no way to avoid it. Beautiful. |
