| Mastodon – The Wolf Is Loose Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I was wondering, i could be wildly misconceived but if these lyrics don't come from a lyric book, could the opening line actually be 'the leader of the geats' instead of hero of the gods, thats the way it sounds to me anyway, in that sense it could be a reference to beowulf, he is half bear, so could add to the theme of transformation and animal-human combination on the album feel free to criticize, but that was just my thought Thank you |

| The Knife – Colouring Of Pigeons Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is just a notion, I have to listen to the whole album before i can be sure, but i think this song is describing Darwins relief on returning home and seeing his relatives, notably his new born daughter Henrietta, the contrasting images between the violence of everything on fire and the ideas of skeletal traits being bleak shows Darwins relief at returning home, a relief expressed directly by the lines at the end of the song 'delight at once again being home' I also muse on the idea that the title 'colouring of pigeons' could be a reference to how Darwin, with his newfound understanding of evolution, saw animals which are mundane, like pigeons, in a newly interesting way, as the product of evolution, hence 'colouring of pigeons - making pigeons more interesting' these are all just speculations and i'll welcome anyone else with any thoughts on this, it is a beautiful song whatever the meaning. |
