| The Cure – The Drowning Man Lyrics

Fuchsia, (misspelled in the last line above) is one of the principal characters in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy, of which apparently members of the band were reading at the time they were recording Faith. This song describes her death, which actually was an accident, not a suicide. Great books! I highly recommend any Cure fan pick them up. |

Actually the song is one along with at least one other from the album, Faith, which comes from Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy. Several band members were big fans of the book. The Drowning Man is taken directly from the fantasy series and describes the death of one of the main characters, Fuchsia. I found this out not too long ago and am reading the series now. I'd highly recommend it. Waiting for book two to arrive right now! |
