@[biso:51798] i guess like many orphaned land songs is about the inner battle between good and evil, darkness and light, or the battle between abrhamic religions. we all have inside us different sides: pride and blame, and they contradict each other like fire to water. they can't flourish together. and it hurt us and drive us crazy and misery. so we go to religion and faith to find an answer to our blame (shame maybe a better word). but that faith makes us fight for generations against other faiths - again like fire to water - that fight prevent us from flourish. many traditions believe that the fight is eternal, like brothers who destined to fight: cain and abel, esau and jacob, ishmael and isaac - all are metaphor for the ongoing battle between different religions. but those different religion are not that different: we are all brothers at the end (daughters and sons). so the answer of the song: unite. first unite inside your own self - embrace all your sides to feel complete and than you will discover the true god. then unite all different people - as all inspire to the same things, and basically have the same belief. |

I think this song is about dealing with death of perent, maybe the death of roger´s father. ========== The ´echoes´are the memories from the past that still écho´. every time the person in the poem dreaming about his past - but then he wake up from this illusion memory. 'Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine.' == here it's and epic description how the memory come to him - and everything is good. but then he realize again the truth: And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light == here you can see disappointment . you can see the person talking about his parent because ; father is the one that answer child question (the wheres of whys). the light that he talking about may refear to the sun , or just illusion full of light : either way he probaly talking about joining to that 'light' - his person. it's not have to be in suicidal way - he just miss and need him so much. ¨Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can" = i think in this pharse he describe a exprient when he see a total stranger that look fimiliar to his father, and get sorta of deja vu. you can see he talking to his father because: "and i am you and what i see is me" - meaning that he is part from him, the same blood. again he describe activities of fahter and son: "take you by the hand", "lead you through the land (parallel to ¨called as to the land¨)", "help me understand the best i can(parallel to 'the where's and why's). but again - he wake up from that illision memory : "And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes And no-one speaks and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun" = again he describe father-son activity, now in the negative way (no one encourage him, make him sleep) "no one speak and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun" - he intend to the first verse (But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light) he wrote this to emphasize that he woke up from the illision. he enter to the illusion again (you can also see by the writing of this pharse that he reliving the memory of his father everyday): "Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning" ==he (the writer) is in his bed, morning - the sun come's out and the light reach to the room and to his eyes. the light symbolize for him his father - and that make him to remmember his father - and encourge him. but then he again woke up from his illision, and realize again that is life suck! ¨And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky" == you can see again he is talking about his father: lullabies are perent-son exprience. the lullabies and the 'makes me close my eyes' refering to: ("And no-one forces down our eyes") then in a act of despair he open the window , look to the sky and call to his father. so you can see this song is about the death of roger´s father. also you can find 2 motifÑ * this is circular song, the writer enter into illision\memory and then wake up and so forth * there is resemblance to 'ikarus' story: (ikarus is a story of the greek mythology : ikarus and his father try to reach to the sun, but eventully ikarus die): bout ikarus and this talking about the connection between father and son, and in this poem there is alot of talking about: sun and light and wings.) SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH. im not native speaker. |
