A think this is about trench warfare in WWI During the battle of the somme, the soldiers would spend long periods underground, during an incessant rain of bombs. Also, the angels of mons, phantom archers are mentioned in the song (scared of a ghost - not adolf - listen carefully) |

| Camera Obscura – Swans Lyrics | 15 years ago |

two points: 1) swans look graceful as they swim but they are paddling furiously underneath - it's a popular saying. I think the song is partly about the masks that we put up, where we try so hard to project a certain image of ourselves. 2) To anyone that went to church sunday school as a child, the melody in the intro is very reminiscient of a popular song "this is the day, this is the day, that the lord has made, that the lord has made". i can' thear swans without breaking into "this is the day" too. |
