The line that always defines the song for me is "I'll give you anything, everything if you want things." It's a line that kinda contradicts the rest of the song if you take the line to be about material possessions. To me it makes sense as Syd trying to say he can show you a way past material desires (you wanting things) and give you "anything, everything" in terms of spiritual and mental enlightenment and happiness. Basically, you can have anything, and everything once you stop a perpetual pursuit of physical things. Then the rest of the song makes sense for me. The overall cheeriness despite the lyrics not being about having much as far as material goods, but in creativity and imagination. If after that, you still look at it as a "love" song, then I don't think Syd is actually looking to be with someone that wants "anything, everything" in the sense of material things. Just my thoughts. Might have even repeated someone, but I'm still reading through all the comments on this amazing song. |

killing bugs in a more figurative sense. after looking up the significance of opal, it's a substance given as a gift "as a symbol of hope, happiness and truth." The narrator is a recipient of such a gift, so I would think of the narrator as a significant other to the person he's addressing. The narrator looks to destroy mentally the target of this song: "I will throw you into a concentric mental decline." - literal interpretation "I control your elation, I control your depression. I take as I wish memory, clothed in a raiment noir." - This person is using the trust of the target to control their emotions. Raiment noir, best guess I can give means dark clothing, and could go further to mean their life clothed in a dark, bleak condition. "I take you under my dark wing and nurture you in hate to dwell forever in a Maison Blanche." - Still continuing the concept of malicious controlling, nurture in hate, etc.. Maison Blanche confused me, I couldn't find anything about this term other than it was a department store and a former town in Algeria. I assume it has some dark connection that I was unable to find, if anyone can enlighten me on it's significance. "Purity through corruption, who am I to blame when your basest instincts are realized?" - The target's eyes are opened after all this mental abuse, and lashes out due to "instincts" of retaliation, or maybe goes overall insane, not just specifically at the narrator. The narrator knows he/she is responsible for this breaking point and what the target has become. |

It's describing how someone's life is taking a turn for the worse, and there is no hope in the near future. They look to seclude themselves until it all passes over, "Huddled in isolation, to sleep the winter away." |
