| Califone – Funeral Singers Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The film was formulated after the album, and many of the allusions here aren't actually clarified in the film. It's a somewhat common theme of a disillusioned writer whose words have become a world rather than representing and indicating wordly action. The book is aching for the tree- the life and energy from which the material was made. The lighthouse keeper bit sounds as though he wishes for some impulse to jump. Either to prove motivation and impulse still exists outside of the numbing narcotic or to end the life left in him, as he has become an observer in his own world of his own word, as a lighthouse keeper observes the sailers of the ocean, and signals to them indications for their actions, which says nothing of the actions (or inactions) of the lighthouse keeper. All my friends are earth, all my friends are words all my friends are as inactive as I lost in their own illusions. Lost in mind. Inactive. Lifeless. Funeral singers. | |
