| Floater – Peter The Destroyer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Upon my first listen of "Peter the Destroyer" I instantly thought of Mr. Cornett. I fantasized this song to be sort of an ode to him, his personality, his perception of the world/ people around him, and how he was reacting. I would definitely take that interpertation with a grain of salt. Now, after years of following this band, and after years of listening to their songs over and over, "Peter the Destroyer", and specifically "Peter" himself, to me, parrallel such characters as "Dante", (Cantebury Tales), Joshua, or even "Jesus", (The Last Temptation of Christ). As mentioned in the liner notes of their album "Sink", these guys are influenced by cinema. I am not going to break this song down verse by verse, and give a tedious explanation of each word from Rob's mouth. In reality, at least personally, many Floater songs take on differen't meanings, and can effect me in a different way. Especially after multiple listens to specific songs. Therin lies the beauty of Floater. I would like to think these songs take on different meanings to the band themselves. If you've ever been to show you will notice lyrical mutations to alot of songs. All in all I would just like to suggest maybe listening to "Peter the Destroyer" with the above characters in mind. | |
